I need some advice. .

Im about to buy either a jet ski or a utility four wheeler. Im going to have to make that choice on my own. However, I need help picking which of each I'd buy. I've been out of the scene for too long to even know whats the best out there right now. I think I've got a good idea but just want to make sure.

I was thinking about the Grizzly 700 4X4 FI and the SeaDoo RXP with the 215 HP motor. What do you guys think? Does anyone know of any websites that sell lifts, wheels, tires, etc for utility four wheelers?

I love my stand up jetski, will be getting a wave runner next spring... in the market now for a used 4 wheeler..... My friend just bought a small little blaster and made a trail through his 17 acres. I am going over to day to ride, I have to borrow his mother inlaws, utility bike. Tomarrow I may go look at a raptor that a guy has for sale that I found. I'd wanted one forever but didn;t have anyone to ride with. Later I'll get a utility for the wife to ride and use around my place then a couple for the kids.

I really dont have any suggestions to contribute, I'd be torn too. I love my ski, but I will love the wheeler just as much...

I... like... toys.....

I guess decide which you can get now easiest and which you can get later easiest.... go for the hardest to aquire if you can get it easily now... If that makes any sense.....

Do you have any friends with boats? The problem that I find with jet ski's is that by the end of the day, you are so worn out and beat that you don't want to drive it back into the harbor, which is why I got a boat instead. Plus, my boat is just like a big jet ski It depends on what you really like. Land or water? I wanted a quad, but I don't have anywhere to ride it. I had one growing up and it was great, but we moved to a house with a lot less land

yea that is true too.... If your friends have quads get a quad if your friends have jet skis get a get ski, if your freinds have wave runners get a wave runner.

I love my jet ski but I am the only one with one, the closest anyone I know has is a wave runner. Sure we go out and ride together but it's just not as much fun as it would be if I had someone else to ride with and push me to try new tricks. Thats why I'm also getting a wave runner too.

If your friends dont have any ask them what they would rather, because what ever you get, they will likely get soon too.

I love land and water... prefer water but is to cold here now..... so land it is now. A man can never have to many toys... boats, jet skis, wave runners, quads and multiples of each if he can.

The Grizzly is a nice ride. We have the 660 and it's been great fun so far! Our neighbor just ordered the 700, my hubby is going to be so jealous he's going to want one now! I can't recommend a Jet-ski, don't know nothing about them.

Thumper I get all my stuff from www.pikevillepowersports.com That is my local kawasaki dealer, but they sell tires/wheels/accessories for any brand.
I think if you go to that site and then click accessories then it lists the catalogs to look through.

Print out the stuff you want then call them and ask for Mark or Tony in parts and tell them that you talked to Ryan with the silver brute and you need a discount.

Thanks. The cave is right on the kentucky / virginia state line in pike county kentucky. It's a place we call rock house and is pretty tough getting up to it.

You can ride for hundreds of miles here unrestricted and never cross your tracks.
