I hear ya. You should go with whatever hull provides better-stability and wave cutting than something to do donuts with!

Everyone has different opinions on different skis. At some point you have to scrap all the research and take the plunge, pun intended!

Someone posted somewhere that stability = the craft not listing, turtling, etc., which is clearly the GTX, but that "wave cutting" and tracking are different, and that the GTI is better.

Those would seem to be connected, but maybe not?

Go with the “workhorse” not the “playhorse”
I would go for stability...crashing through chop will be bad on any PWC

Think;

I think this says it best... "If you want a cruiser then go for the GTX hull. If you want something you can throw around a bit more and better performance then go the GTI."
