RXT-X aS 260 Vs. GTX LIMITED IS 260

[chk1]

In the market to pick up a couple of ski's, and I'm having some trouble deciding whether to get a RXT or a GTX.. Both top of the line models, I've read a few reviews on each but I'm still undecided..

For use in the ocean, which would you recommend the RXT or the GTX?
I personally think the rough ride is fun however I don't think my companions think the same.

Thanks guys

The one thing I do know about the aS models is that they are very difficult to work on, or so I've been told by my mechanic. I'll never go with an aS model....I see no need for a suspension on these things. They are just fine without them

Maintenance is not a problem as I wont be working on the ski's myself, dealer can deal with it... I do like the idea of the suspension though, as I am often out in the ocean when its semi rough.

If maintenance cost isn't an issue then go with a suspension model. Even the simplest task is quite a pain on a suspension ski. I personally would avoid them because of the extra weight of the suspension. It sits high in the hull making it top heavy and awkward handling. Could make it a handful in heavy chop.

I can attest to the fact that the aS models are top heavy and do not feel right, especially in chop

The theory behind the suspension is good. The reality is, not very efficient. If not adjusted properly it can't hurt you pretty bad, top heavy, had a couple of years if serious leak issues which allowed the skis to sink. Suspension models are for fairly smooth applications. And if it is that smooth, you don't need suspension...
