@WilliBoaz, one other thing to consider is getting Tim to install a 12V socket and USB ports in the port helm glovebox. Is very handy for charging phones and also when you need the 12V socket to pump up tubes etc.
One other SS64 that I saw at Hayden's last year when mine was in for a service had a water bladder installed with a pump.

Hi Sloth, I did receive your message, thought I had replied! I've decided to go with the 200 pro XS. Should be plenty.
Thanks for the detailed rundown, and also to @Rusty_Nail and @GregOug for the helpful repliesreplies. I agree about the awesome layout of the stej vs the signature. As far as the hull is concerned, I guess no boat is going to be amazing at everything.  I'm looking to use the boat at Poona and the Sandy Strait, so should be good enough.
 
Have you got any fuel consumption figures at cruising speeds? Already daydreaming and planning trips lol
 

Thanks Greg, although I meant the one on Rusty Nail's boat.
I appreciate your replies, so good to hear from people who own the boat.
I've just paid deposit for one with 200 proXS V8. Super excited.
How do you find the black colour on a hot day?

That's ok, i reckon I can work with excess power, but not with too little powe

Thanks Rusty, I'm looking at getting one with the V8, mainly for extra torque for pulling out a skier with a fully loaded boat, rather than top speed (although that's nice too).
And yes, I was referring to the photo at Pelican. Looks really nice.
