Sea Doo, Yamaha, or Kawasaki?

Hey all


I am in the market for my first ski, I don't have much knowledge in this area however, I have ridden before.

My problem is, I don't know which ones to look at..

It seems like the top 3 (in no order) are

1) Sea doo
2) Yamaha
3) Kawasaki

I just need a good starting point.

Here are some details that could help, I hope.

1) I will be riding mostly ocean (Long Island, N.Y)
2) I would like to take out and jump waves
3) Take the family out
4) Reliability

Those are my top concerns, my price (after haggling) will probably be around the 13K or lower. I'm looking to buy brand new.

If anyone could help me out, or just lead me in some direction, that would be great!

Thank You

P.S: If any Long Island users here, what are some good dealerships to look at?
