Re: Which waverunner to get?
I think this question was posted as a joke, but if not here goes:<br /><br />Buy what you can afford and buy what you will have use for, i.e if you have a family buy a bigger 3 or 4 seater. If you ride solo, buy a sport two seater model. <br /><br />Kawasaki makes a great jet ski, they currently make the fastest production PWC available. It is called the Ultra 150 and will run 64-65 MPH on GPS. The speedo will tell you 70-75 MPH, but it is wrong ( I used to own one I should know).<br />No stock PWC will be able to keep up with you on the ULtra 150.<br /><br />Yamaha makes a good PWC also, but their hulls have had porpoising issues in the past. I used to own a GP760 from Yamaha and it porpoised so badly I sold it. Yamaha motors are the one to beat for reliability, but watch out for their year 2000 motors with the new power valve design, they had issues with failures, but I believe that has since been resolved.<br /><br />Sea-Doo's have too much plastic parts in their design, which causes quality/reliability issues. Their 580 and 780 motors are pretty good, but watch out for their 951's, they too have had reliability issues in the past.<br /><br />Polaris makes a good PWC, but their market share is pretty small at the time.<br /><br />Tigershark is no longer in production, so try and steer clear of any used ones, as parts are becoming scarce.<br /><br />Whatever you buy, buy smart and ride safe. Buy the brand of the dealer in your area so you can have a close service center. I always showed respect to boaters and followed all rules, but I think other punk a$$ "jet skiers" over the years gave all of the good riders a bad rap, because I rarely received a "courtesy wave" in return from a boater. Good luck getting respect out on the water! I have sinced moved on to boating as I got older, and am enjoying it alot.
