We found out the hard way that the SeaRaycers are having new engines installed that dramatically reduce the power you have. Don't expect anything remotely close to going fast. We had rented on a few trips from the CR, and loved it. Last trip, we noticed about a 50% lower speed. It was bad enough that we returned to the docks twice, thinking the engines were malfunctioning, and swapped out boats, to no avail. Finally a CM told us that the motors had been replaced (either from 2 stroke to 4 stroke or vice versa, can't remember!) and that the boats were no longer as fast or powerful. Whereas before you could actually jump waves and really move, now, its much slower, and neither of us really was even able to produce a wake. We were so disappointed with the experience that we actually returned the boats early and got our money back. I hate that this happened, as we really enjoyed the SeaRaycers. This was several months back, and I cannot speak for boats available at other resorts, but I would be wary of the experience. For us, it went from fun to boring.
