What are some things I should keep in mind when buying a Jetski?

Question

any advice? I dont like the older ones I prefer the 2003-current Sea-doos, Kawasakis and would rather not pay $9000+

Answer 1

The 4-stroke engines are sooooooo much better than the old 2-strokes.  They're more fuel efficient, lower maintenance, and for our eco-friendly friends, they are much better for the environment and quieter.  All-around, better for everyone.  As far as the brand or model, they are all pretty much equivalent.  Kawasaki, Sea Doo, they all pretty much have the same stuff these days.  Kind-of like the difference between a Ford and a Chevy.  They each have their own little high points and low points, but not much difference aside from brand preference.  I would recommend finding a dealership that would let you test them out or, more practically, find somewhere that rents them so you can take them for a spin and see what you want out of a personal water craft. (they are generically refered to as PWC's)

Hope this helps!

What to keep in mind?  Those poor animals you're gonna terrorize, the peace and tranquility you're gonna disturb and the eco balance you're gonna upset.
