Default Personal Water Crafts

Hi Island Girl. I owned three, two-stroke, 2000 Sea-Doo GTX machines and had very good luck with them. I now own two 2004 Sea-Doo 4-stroke machines.

Comparing the two, the new 4-stoke machines run cleaner, and have closed cooling systems. They start much easier than the two-stroke versions, and are fun to ride. I would not buy another two-stroke personal water craft. Although, I believe the maintenance costs are high on the 4-stroke models. Oil changes, filters, etc.

The March/April 2006 edition of Watercraft World reviewed two flagship models offered from Honda, Kawasaki, Sea-Doo, and Yamaha. The article answers many of your questions with full specifications.

If you decide on Sea-Doo, I recommend you call daSilva Motorsports in Moultonboro and talk to Chuck. They are very accomodative in picking up and delivering machines. Good Luck.
