In fact Parts and Service will still be available for several years (Arctic Cat Tigersharks still have a parts and service network and they stopped production around '98). One great selling point for the SeaDoo (don't know if others have it available) with their DESS keys, you can get a "trainer key" for the young/novice rider that limits the engine rpm. Which ever one you choose its guaranteed fun!!

The DESS key is great until it blows out of your boat attached to a life jacket like mine did last week on vacation...The PWC has to be taken to the dealer to have a new key programmed. Luckily I had the training key with me as well so I could drive the machine from the island to shore, otherwise I would still be paddling...If anyone found a blue jacket with a DESS key attached near Shep's last week please let me know!
Seriously, I have owned Yamaha 2 seaters and currently own a Polaris MSX140 and a Sea Doo RXT. The Polaris is a nice stable, dry ride however as mentioned previously they are out of the industry. The Sea Doo is a bit rougher to ride and steers more aggresively but for a 3 seater it screams. The DES is nice because you can leave your machine for the week and know that not just anyone with a paperclip can jump on your machine and go for a joy ride.
