in 04" the only difference is the graphics. you'll pay approx $400 more for the riders graphics. i ordered mine as a limited and had them leave the graphics off. i then ordered the west coast graphics. here are pics of both w/o the graphics and w. the west coast graphics. the boat is awesome! great wake, enough room to loose the hole family in one cubby! no, that is not the way the boat is towed (it's behind a buddies truck to get to the ramp while i was still attached to the 5th wheel)
