2009 FX15- Info needed please
I am looking at purchasing a 2009 Honda FX15 turbo. I have never owned a Honda ski so I'm looking for general info. I realize that Honda ski are no longer in production.
Top speed?
Comfort?
Ride in the chop?
Fuel range?
Any reliability issues?
Thank you for any helpful feedback!Last edited by driveumhard; 05-18-2015 at 09:57 AM. Reason: sp

I don't have that ski, but I can tell you top speed on a healthy F15X is 64.5- 65mph.
Good in chop.
Yes it will be comfortable.
Not sure on fuel range, but I know the Honda's get among the best fuel mileage.
I have a 2006 R12X bought new in May of 07. It has been BEAT on most of it's life. I have 544 hours. It still starts right up. Everything functions great. All it has needed are Spark plugs, and oil changes.
The F15X is a better ski all around except for Handling/Jumping.

The 15 is one of the best rough water hulls period.

think twice before you get into a discontinued product with limited amounts of local expert level help.

kawa are fast but there are 300 hp good in chop water , if the honda was 250 hp it will = the kawa or past them . kawa 300 is a bitch on gas
brp = slow in chop . they brr brr brr too much . turbo honda don't cut that much so they pull ahead . 255 rtx is a good race with the honda on glare water .
yam = slow everywhere ''lol stock form i talk about''
honda is good on gas and the 15 is the most reliable machine . the ride in chop water is a dry ride also . the honda 15 realy need a trim they ride too much the nose in the water .
driveumhard , you have a brp the ride in fine but sometime in chop the water slash you but it will take a lot to slash you on the honda .
supermac is the king of the king on honda ride them race them since a fuking wille , no bs in 1000 hour and best hull water testimonial .
