Hi All:
I'm pretty new here so "Thanks" in advance for any info. I'm considering buying a 1997 GTI. I think it has the 717 engine. I'm 52 years old so I'm not looking for a super fast ski, just something that's stable and can get up on plane in decent time. I'll be riding it 95% of the time with just me. I'm 215 lbs. I don't plan on pulling skiers or wakeboarders. Just an occasional 2nd person. Does the 717 have enough HP to still have a little fun and is it a pretty reliable engine overall?
Thanks for any input. c good
