The 2020 is sweet looking! Honestly if they kept the same color for 2021, I would have probably been sold on spending the extra - not that it's really that important and obviously the bigger draw is the lighter/quicker, but I think the 21 is ugly.
That orange is nasty. Agree that the 2020 colors are better if not still very bright. I can see the wife coming from a mile away.

a 2018 VXHO just showed up locally for sale with about 70 hours. What do you all think about that year range? Faster with a lot more features that I would be getting from any of the eXs.

An FX HO is a formidable machine. If the price is right I would consider it. Maybe you can offer the seller to pay him to for his trouble if you end up not buying it. I doubt it gets that guys more than 1 hour to rewinterize it. That being said we like our 2015 V1 that our next ski is going to be a blue VX delux. I would love a FXHO but the VX Delixe has all that we need and it is cheap enough where you write it off it shit fit the fence.

if your dealer gives You a killer deal for buying 2 deluxe I will be in for one and maybe a dual trailer too.
What do you think about a 2018 VXHO with 70 hrs? A used one locally with all its records just popped up. If I can get her to a good price.

Never Mind. She is upside down in the loan with taxes, trailer, and fees and wants $13k. The ski was $12k new, book value is $10 with a trailer.

I'm a little late here but I hope you got one with RiDE. It's absolutely worth every penny. I bought late last year and book value was basically worthless at that point, if the demand now is anywhere near what it was last year, that will still hold true. I even saw anything remotely reasonable being bought and flipped.
