    The guys are right about the service thing. Regular boat repair facilities generally shy away from working on these. (I know we don't touch them........they are different from regular boats and motors and require special tools and skills) Even here in boat rich SW Florida people walk in all the time and are frustrated because they can't find a place to repair their PWC. I have even opened up the phone book to try to help them and many of the places are gone.

    I would talk to lots of owners in your area and get some feel for who they use and how the service is.

    Wow, I live in a desert and yet we are unindated with too many repair shops.
    I must say, the lack of qualified shops or even shops that claim they don't work on them is amazing to me in that area Don.
    Not saying I don't believe you, just that who'd a thunk it. Makes little sense. Wow, just WOW.
    Youther, I hope you get what you want. May your quest be golden in finding your machine/s.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    Few people realize that there are more boats per capita in Arizona than in any other state.

    I noticed that on my last visit to AZ. Funny though, when we went to any of the lakes there didn't seem to be a lot of boats in the water. Guess people there just like to trailer them around behind their SUVs. (Lots of those in AZ too.)
