Welcome to the Forum FATASS!

In the market for a ski? Look around, ask questions, etc...You got a LOT of choices....but choose wisely ...What is your previous experience on watercraft?

Don't go to a yamaha dealer and ask to see his jet skis. My brother went to a sea doo dealer and asked to see the wave runners, they were like, sorry, we don't have any.... Sea doo's are sea doos, Yamaha are wave runners and Kawasaki are jet skis. Sometimes they are anal about it.

Welcome to the forum!! Each brand has it's own selling points, I own a Sea-Doo RXP and have been real happy with it. I have 10 years riding experience, here's a list of the good and bad for ski's i've riden.

RXP

good

sporty looks
easily to modify
Big horsepower
sport bike handling in smooth water

Bad

Beat you to death in chop
wet ride

Kawi 250X

good

Works well in chop
Decent power for big boat
sporty looks
Handles well for big boat
dry ride

Bad

Boat is huge to me
Heavy
hard to read gauges in direct sunlight



GPR

Good

Great hull
Handles good

Bad

Under powered

Honda 12X

Good

realiblity

Bad

way under powered

These are the only ski's i've ridden, the RXP is my fav but it's not for everyone.

Thanks for all the advice.. yea my boyfriend (altezza01) has 07 GP1300R and it's nice, but I prefer to have something with a reverse. I'm new to this water sports (I'm from Seattle-- more experience with snow and rain ).. I was thinking of getting a superjet, but he talked me out of it.. so jet ski it is..
