I have an '08 with the Merc motor. I've had it for two seasons now and I must say it has been great. The only thing I've had to change is a fill pump for the right rear tank and it took me all of 20 munites, most of that being shrinkwrapping the wiring because it has the Tsunami cartridge type pumps that you just twist out and replace. I love the foam floor, and so does everyone else that has been in it. I'm in the process of trying different things to insulate the cooler in the floor (which is awesome) because it gets so hot here the ice melts too fast. The wake with no ballast is great for beginner to intermediate and it grows huge when you start filling the tanks. I've also got the surf wake dialed in and it is awesome. The boat is very sensitive to where your crew is sitting, but no more that most other boats. As far as planing, the 8.1 will yank my boat on plane so fast I have to give a disclaimer and warning to the occupants before I go, otherwise everyone ends up in a pile at the back of the boat. You will find a very dedicated group of owners to pull info from on here, don't hesitate to ask your questions.
