2002 GTX 787 RFI good reliable ski? In comparison to 2000 RX 951 carbed.

2002 GTX 787 RFI has 130 hrs, gone through front to back, new rotary seal as leaking a bit, unbelievable condition. I don't know much about RFI, but I've read its MUCH better than the dreaded DI> any truth to this??

2000 RX 951 has 100 hrs, I believe its the carbed version not DI (i read DI is nothing but problems), I've read nothing but bad things about the 951 but it is fast.

Any thoughts????

I'm partial to the 951.

I think you are prob better off with the RFI. Im of the thought the 951 isnt a great motor compared to the 800. The RFI could send you to the dealership needing to plug in to figure out a problem, but overall they are great machines.

The RFI just edges the 951 IMO.

seems to me, all different models have certain little problems, just as cars also do, i like an rfi , no choke to mess with, just put key on and hit start and go, mine had some problems, after straightning out , has been trouble free almost a year now, and we use alot here in fla. make sure compression is good, and these skis need a real good battery, (to work fuel inj. system) -- some like carbs, some like fuel inj., question -- (would you buy another car with a carb on it ??? -- unless it was a classic ?? )
