c180 reviews.

Ok guys..

Looking for the diference bewtewn the new c180 and the old stile Challenger 1800 like mine. My sister is proposing me to go half with her on a new c180 just because she likes new things lol but if is not a significant upgrade from my Challenger 1800 then i dont think i will do it. I know the c180 is looks nicer but im looking for more details. How does it handles with 2 or 3ft waves, is it a dryer ride? Also it will have to be a new 07-08 to try to get the special Seadoo has now. Any ideas on what is the out the door price?

I dont know, personally I dont think its a significant upgrade when you factor in passanger load and seaworthyness. You ask how it does in 2 to 3' waves and in another thread you mention that you need more passanger capacity. If your going to make the upgrade to something newer, why not take this opportunity to step up to a 20'? Look at the Speedster 200 or Utopia 205. I'll make you a heck of a deal on my 2007 Utopia 205 with 310hp Twin 4-tecs. BRP warranty till 2013.

I will love a 20ft but the problem is storage. Thats why im looking at the c180. I park my c1800 inside my garage. There is no way i can do the same with 20ft.

Why are you selling your Utpia. Didnt you just get it?

CJ,

I did just get it in January. I'd like to step up to something bigger in the 23' realm. I discussed it with the wife and we feel now might be the time. Our Hyundai Veracruz wont pull the 23' so we would need a V8 powered rig. They are giving away the big SUVs so we may upgrade there and get either a Challenger 230 or Yamaha 230.
