I bought a Sea Doo Gti 130 and it will do 55mph with one person. It's super reliable and needs very little maintenance. If you want a little more speed they have a GTI 155. Basically the same machine with a little more horse power.
Sea Doo and Yamaha are the most popular. I looked at both and decided on Sea Doo after all my research. If I had to buy another one the only thing I would do different is to go with the GTI 155.
I haven't been on a Yamaha VX but friends who have used mine say the Yamaha feels heavier and doesn't handle as well as the Sea Doo. I can't confirm this but I've heard this more often than not.

I also started with Sea-doo , as far as i'm concerned they are very reliable machines ! I now have four of them and service them every year at Irwin Marine on 28A in Alton with no complaints.
