92 Kawasaki 650TS

Hi, Could anyone please give me the pros and cons of the above ski? I am looking for a first ski... would this be a good ski? What is the range of this ski and fuel tank capacity? Anyone have any photos of one? Thanks

I owned one in the past had it for 8 years before i got rid of it.. The ski has pretty much a flat hull.. Turning needs a semi wide area.. This ski will not turn on a dime unless you swing the back end out.. The motor itself is near indistructable with the abuse i but it through.. Only blew my motor once due to a water line breakage.. Motor got so hot it melted all the plastic lines.. 1500 buck to rebuild everything.. The fuel range on this thing is not so great.. I had mine built but even before then I would have run out of gas before most of my friends would.. The speed is about 35 to 40 mph tops.. If you plan on riding kids on this ski then it's for you.. This ski was very hard to flip over even if you were sitting on the rails of one side.. All in all i like the ski before i got my new one.. It's a nice touring boat or fishing boat as some magizines made it out to be.. It's just a bottom line basic ski.. No frills about it..
