waverunners/jet ski's

Yamaha is definitely the way to go hands down, Seadoo is not, they might looks cool but they are very unreliable.

I bought a jetski last year, '94 Yamaha 701cc waveraider, it does 53MPH on the GPS and is very reliable. I've owned Yamaha dirtbikes and had no problems. The jetski is alot of fun especially when your out with friends who have skis/boats. Only thing I don't like is the gas bill but you gotta pay to have fun.

i know a lot of peole say seadoo is unreliable, but is this normally because they dont keep it serviced? or is it always unreliable if you keep it serviced?

also, just curious, how much did you pay for your jet ski?

I paid $1,500 with trailer. The hull had some paint chips on the bottom but the engine was mint and it runs great. Good deal IMO but I had to search for it.
