I like the green on mine too. It has the options that I like. I don't want sound, the wind visor, or the adjustable seat. Maybe the lx-s is more of a niche ski. Only discerning tastes will appreciate it.

Have 4 hours on my 23 lx-s I picked up last Friday. The Kawi green was the selling point for me. Coming from many STX’s, 1100di, 12F and 15F skis this thing is loaded by comparison. I do carry extra fuel from time to time so the extended deck was a welcome addition. They can keep the camera. I ride to unwind, stereo= zero to me. 18,999.99 and no usb charger, really! This ski rides so good in chop it is unreal. One last thing, to make power you need fuel. This is a thirsty ski.

G'day Kevin, I think you got it right the first time as more of a family/watersport rig at more of an affordable price. 1. The rear view camera as its caters for the blue collar family where hearing might be on the low side. I can speak from experience there have been many times I've had to turn my body around just to hear what the spotter is saying. Having the camera will just be easier to know what the person being towed is trying to communicate via hand signals rather relying on a booming voice from the spotter. 2. The running light to help with on water visibility. This is also inconjuction with the lime green. I feel this ski will just be that little easier to see. Which seeing something few seconds earlier can mean the difference between a crash and near miss. 3. Extended swim platform. I feel that that these three points make it more positioned for watersports/family ski but at the more affordable side of things. Let's face it at the top tier price range the average family Joe will be happy to give a lot of uneeded features to keep that extra coin in the pocket.
