The X-190 is da bomb diggity. I wish Mike would have offered me a ride... I would have offered him one, but he would have flown out. Its that fast..... ;-)

on THAT lake? i've tried...you gotta turn or you're already up on the beach before it can really get to be fun.
the long narrow lake down the road however? 65mph before you blink.

i have pulled skiers and tubers behind both the Tuffy X190 and the heavier/deeper Tuffy 1890, each with a 200hp Optimax with plenty of torque. they both popped up on plane and put full-size adults on their skis with ease. the X190 was definitely a tad quicker, but the difference was nominal. i imagine this would be true for the deeper hulled Rangers as well.
the biggest difference i found was that at lower speeds but higher rpms towing a skier the X190 had less hull in the water because of being lighter and designed a bit differently, thus it created less big wakes than a deeper hull.
