Personal Watercraft

Who all has a Personal Watercraft? Post up pics!

 

Yamaha or Seadoo.

 

Figured TW would have a plenty of guys into this..

 

Just my opinion but If I was to get on I would see if they have a version that doesn't shoot a stream of water into the air. When I'm sailing I hate hate hate getting hit by that when people pass me.

 

I think that's just Waver Runners.
I was gonna say something funny to that, that involved a female blow up doll, but I'll resist the urge. Some people might not take the humor the way I do.

Cool, that's all you need. lol

 

Used to sell Kawi jet ski's. The newer supercharged ones are fast as shit! The downside is fouled plugs and high fuel consumption. The SC ones need plugs every 25 hours and they are usually about 18.00 per plug depending on source. I have also wasted a 12 gallon tank on one in less than 2 hours.

If I had to buy one I would go with a kawi 15f. Its a small 3 seater that is still damn fast and handles like a 2 seater. You will achieve similar top speeds but won't get there as fast. Not sure of your intentions with it but if you are to pull say a wakeskater with it the extra seat is nice! Not to familiar with the sea doo's and yamaha's.

 

Thanks for the input.
Sounds like some high maintenance, is this typical of all Personal Watercraft?

Was wanting to get one in part, to take with me on an epic road trip/cross country journey. So I could explore different water ways/lakes etc. Maybe even set it up to do some fishing off of it. And build some sort of rack to hold extra fuel and cooler etc. Probably would'nt be pulling anybody with it, if I did it'd be rare. And it would def need to be reliable.

 

Had a 2 seat gp1300R for a few years. It was a blast but nowhere to put anything. Went to boat since then. Look @ a sea-doo RXT-X. 3 seater, Supercharged, extremely fast, good storage, very reliable with regular maintenance. Don't wast your money on a 2 seater. If you get into rougher waters the the longer hull will blast through the waves ten times better. It will also give you more room to move around on. Not too sure about the fishing off of one. not too stable when sitting still. Nor is there anywhere to put a fishing pole. Hope this helps.

 

I could have taken it

 

OK I'll look into that one. Good point about the hull size and rough water. Yeah some people rig them up and fish off of them.
Thanks for the input.

 

World Finals 2013

 

my last one was a 05 seadoo rxt 215hp supercharged. Very nice ski and fast. If I was to get another one would be the rxt-x 260hp supercharged

 

1990 yamaha superjet 650.

Lots of fun! paid $2000, needs some TLC

 

2000?! Ouch.

 

Canadian prices vs American prices

 

That you?
Looks like a mix between a standup and sit down. Does that mean you pee standing up and sitting down? haha

haha

Nice.

The stand ups design doesn't seemed to have changed a whole lot over the years.
I bet they are fun, but hows ya'lls knees feel after playing for a while?

 

I just found out about this new ski from Seadoo, the Spark. I'm thinking about getting one. I like how they've kinda went back to the begining. They come in 60 and 90 hp, but they're lighter which helps on the power to weight ratio, and it being lighter would also be better for towing around the country. I know it's not the supercharged beast's that some of the newer ones are, but the price is like half. And there's some companys selling tunning kits and turbos for them.
Have any of you guys heard of them or know anybody that has one?

A look at the launches. Don't think the 60hp would cut it for me.
But shows 60/90/then tuned launch.
