they are the biggest of all sport class ski's and I've heard they have an aweful porposing problem.

haha , i dont know how that comment was meant to be taken but why waste time posting to a question you have no answer to?
i heard the hurricane was a very sporty ride and handled and jumped well. i wanted to know if that was accurate.. if its not then i wont consider buying it.

thanks for the info wave demon. if that is the consenus i will stick to looking for a Blaster. i just figured maybe there was lack of info on them on this site because they were rare.

and you probably wont get as reliable of a ski with polaris. I have heard some scary stories about them.

Rode a hurricane for a few years. It was the nice ski. It did porpoise but cornered and jumped well. Its a little more stable than the blaster and can ride two people but If I were to do it again, I'd just get the blaster.

i had a buddy that had one a couple of years ago wasnt bad in the surf flat water was a joke with the porposing. there really isnt alot of parts for it. my buddy had a fp blaster mod pipe with octane adapter and 750 zxi carbs on it with stock throttle shafts. boyseen reeds, intake grate. ski went pretty good but you need to take a piece of plywood and screw it on the back

They have a lot of really nice features that the Blaster doesn't have (mirrors and gages among other little touches like trim tabs). I had one once and didn't ride it much, but I would much rather have a blaster (a lot lighter, more mods available, a ton of more parts available in genera, and more reliable).

I hate the mirrors and guages on it. I think Bruce Wolford's looks good. If I had one I hould have to spend a lot of cash to maybe get an ADA big block in there, sculpt the seat and get some trim tabs. I bet it would make a good surf boat.

thanks for all the comments. im real tempted to take a shot on it, but the parts and aftermarket problem has me hesitating.. maybe the Blaster is the better choice. hard to find one in the northeast though.

They used to make a carbon fiber hood for the hurricane. It shaved a ridiculous amount of weight. I would've loved to have one for mine. That boat had potential but it wasn't meant to be.
