get a yamaha can't beat them! we have a 2005 3 seater with over 300hours still runs like a champ, and 2 gp1300rs 2stroke that are amazing, for reliability get yamaha. seadoo puts a bunch of other crap thats unneeded and can't stand up to abuse or salt water. also maintaining them is super easy do ll the work yourself and you can learn a lot about them on forums like greekhulk.net
also i just bought a 650 superjet standup, now that is true fun!
when buying used do a compression test on it, and look for signs of salt water use. salt water can really make these wear out faster but if you do the proper maintenance that wouldn't be a problem. id look into a yamaha 4 stroke that way you don't have the added expense of the two stroke oil all the time like i do with my gp1330rs

I looked into them a few years ago. Would be a blast to own two of them... I just didn't see using them enough to justify the expense. I have and will continue to rent them. A lot of fun. I took one out in the Caribbean on open water and loved every minute of it. Only thing about going far out is that if the thing fails, you're on your own and I'm not a fan of being in a body of water where I become food for something else...

As a bass boat fisherman and a person that lives on a lake, I hate jetskiers :smash:
As someone tho took a 14ft kayak 20 miles on a lake... I would take anything with a motor...

What's your intended use for one? How many people do you want to carry? Do you plan on towing anyone behind it? Plan to trailer it to the water each time or do you have a place on the water? Storage for winter?
