[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 239594, member: 6937"] I would avoid a Tigershark engine.....take it from someone who has been there and done it. And just because it's a 2 cylinder won't mean it's more fuel efficient than a 3 cylinder, as more load will be put on each cylinder. Tigershark no longer makes PWC's, and the parts are becoming harder to find, and much more expensive than Yamaha parts. If it were me, I'd go with the Yamaha, preferably an XL1200, so you have the engine, as well as the bolt-in aluminum intake duct. Most other skis will have a molded-in fiberglass duct. Of course, if you REALLY believe in the statement 'go big or go home'...you could do what I did, get the Yamaha MR-1 High Output 4 stroke. It's what I should have done to begin with. And as far as fuel efficiency, since completion of the upgrade to the 4 stroke in August of last year, I have already saved over 300 dollars in fuel. [/QUOTE]
