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.

I'm going to buy another one, probably the GTI 155 and a double trailer. I've put more hours on the Sea Doo the past two years than I have on my boat. I only use the boat now when we have company. If it's just me and my wife we hop on the Sea Doo.

Traded in my 10 year old GTX in August for a 2018 GTI 155. What a great machine. Better handling than the GTX.

Thanks for the comments. For those who purchased new, did you buy the trailer & mooring cover at the same time or separately?
