I had bought a 2000 Sea Doo GTX 3 seater brand new. I did 2 years on the bay in RI and 6 up on the lake with it. Never had any issues with it, 3 person is perfect size for 2 people, but easily handled 3. Motor was a 952 CC 2 stroke, more than enough power to snap your neck back. I never had an issue with it wiping out in 8 years. It is a very stable ride, had it out on the borads on the worst of days. I do not know too much about the newer models, but I always received good service in Tilton, right off exit 20. Forget the name, but they were always helpful.
If you buy brand new then you won't have any issues. All I ever did for maint was cleaning it out, spraying the anti-corrosive on the engine, kept the oil levels up etc. In the end I had over 700 hours on it.
Good Luck.
