I have sea-doos and a kawi jetski..............I really like the sea-doos ,but they have required some work that I have done myself,not surprising since they are 1991 models...nothing major ,just a few motor mounts and a prop.
The kawi jetski is a 87 and has given me no problems at all...other riding the dang thing,it`s still quite a exsperiance to ride.
I really abuse my sea-doos too ,I ride them in the ocean and jump huge waves,they have been 15 plus foot in the air and washed up on the beach many times from jumps gone wrong
I even ride them completely under the water with only my head and neck above the water line...they fill with water ,soo you can only do that for a short time........so yeah i would say sea-doos can take some abuse....not to mention the salt water is some means stuff when it comes to corosion.I just flush them really well with fresh water after I am done,mine look and ride no different than ones that have always been in fresh water......I am shure most of them hold up that well now,I just like the looks of the sea-doos and how mine have held up over the years.
The smaller 1 person ones are more agile to do spins and trick stuff,but a 2 seater lets you take a pasenger....I just bought 2 matching one seaters to solve that problem........now if one goes boom I will have plenty of extra parts for the other
On the kawi jetski it has been alot of fun to watch people try and ride it.....it`s not easy at all.Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
