To tell you the truth. A Rev will cross water, but you have to lean way back to keep the weight off the front. A friend of mine went in on his Rev because he was sitting on it normal, since your weight is more up front, it makes the skis want to dive right in. So if you want to cross a rev, go atleast 40-50 mph and stand up and lean back, you should be fine then. Also a firecat crosses pretty good, my f7 has not had a problem yet, but i have not crossed alot of water with it, just a few shots across the channel. I use my 88 ski-doo mx LT 462 to cross the water. I set it up for the water and it does great, I think I might do some oval racing with it this year. I will try to post a couple pics of the beast some time. Later.
