Dont buy a used one unless you can take it on the water first. Some will start up and sound fine on land but when you get it out on the water it wont run correctly. And try to get a newer one. Old jetski's are a PITA!!!!

definitely buy a four stroke.

honda's are supposed to be the slowest on the water but i really enjoyed my 3 seater when i had it. and it kept up with my friends sea-doo. and it was very reliable.

try to stay away from superchargers or turbo chargers. everyone that i have seen that has one has had problems within the first year.

No problem with my supercharged RXP in over a year with a lot of hard hours on it. My vote goes towarda Seadoo RXP.
