Help Picking New Ski!

[Mochanic]

Hi guys! This is my first post.
I live in TX now and we are in the process of selling everything we have to move to Fort Collins CO. asap... I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I have only ridden a couple skis in my life, but I'm no noob when it comes to speed and performance! (I build turbocharged import race cars for a living at least until I get to CO.)

I would really like to get all of you guys' opinion on the best platform that down the road I can build my own custom turbo kit.

My stipulations include the following:

1. Comfortable ski that can be ridden all day and not regret it by the time I get home. (preferrably more of a touring design VS an all out race ski)

2. Able to ride 2 people.

3. Electric start with reverse

4. Big 4 stroke with fuel injection. Prefer it to already be turbocharged so its much easier to upgrade later. (internal engine is already designed for it)

5. Long wide track for good hookup! (gonna need it with 300-400hp)


Any additional info you guys would like to add will be greatly appreciated!

Mainly trail riding.

What is it that will not work?

After plenty of thought I might lower my original expectations from 300-400 to 250-300hp.

Thanks for the replies!
