Another vote for SeaDoo.

We have owned many, and currently own 2 SeaDoos.

All the other OEMs are usually behind them in technology in PWC. Go check them all out and decide.

The best advice I could give is buy them new and buy the extended warranty. I have never actually used it, never had anything break in 7 years of owning Seadoos.

Currently own 2 3-seaters - a 255hp RXT-X and a 215HP RXT. Both are very comfortable, and fast - the 255 may just be too fast unless you love speed. Its downfall is it use of gas..its a hog. As far as thumbs hurting - most new Seadoos no longer use your thumb but your index finger. Multiple mods are avail also.

Again - I would not buy used unless you know the owner. People tinker with these things and abuse them in ways you dont want to inherit.

Buy new and buy away from the lakes region. If you dont mind driving 5-10 hrs and 15K Seadoo can cost 11K out the door with warranty in the off season. Warranty work is honored at any dealership.

Also - basic maint. on one of these has gotten pretty easy - very little to do aside from an oil change each year.
