Answer 1

THAT ISN'T BAD. JUST DON'T BUY A TIGER SHARK THEY SUCK ***. BUT THAT GUYS IS FULL OF ****. THEY ARE ACTUALLY PHASING THE STANDUP JET SKI OUT. WHO WANTS TO BE ON THE WATER BUY THEMSELVES. YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR FREINDS OR WOMAN. I HAVE A SEADOO THREE SEATER IT IS AWSOME IT CAN TOW AND SEAT THREE.. JUST SEARCH THE MIDWEST STATES IT IS GOING TO BE WINTER AND THE DEALERS NEED TO SELL SELL SO THEY WILL BE BASICLY GIVING THEM AWAY AND YOU KNOW THEN IT HASN'T BEEN IN SALT WATER.

Answer 2

You need to understand one thing.   Once you can ride a stand up you won't even bother with a sit down.  Don't cheat yourself and never learn to ride a stand up before you spend that much money.

That being said don't purchase a highly modified pwc.  The more hop ups the engine has the more problems they seem to have.   Impeller, intake grate, and exhaust excluded.  These are high quality bolt on performance.

Compression test the cylinders.  Know the correct compression for the model you are going to test ride and check. 30sec could have hunders of dollars.  Always see the pwc start cold and run till it get the motor hot.   These things are floating engines, don't buy anything with ?'s about the engine.

Remember its a buyers market on use watercraft.
