    I have been wanting a PWC for some time now. I just have heard that its one of those things that never gets used as much as you think it should. I live in TN so i really only have summer months as opposed to people who may have year round water sports(lucky you). Are they really worth the time/money for those who have them?

    Also - Whats the best brand to get? I hear really good things about Yamahas waverunners. I really like the new seadoo sparks but the reviews on these arent to high.

    I cant really say as Ive never owned one, but like anything you have to evaluate how much time you have, how far from water you are and water/weather conditions. I have driven one for a short time and they were fun to drive. A friend of mine had one when I was stationed in Tx and the biggest thing he had a problem with was the windy days...which in Tx there were many windy days.

    i currently own a sea doo gtr 215 and its a blast. living in north GA im like you where i only get a select few months to use it but its so worth it. as far as owner ship goes you'll spend less money on the yamaha than a seadoo but in my opinion the seadoos look a lot better

    20170527_121748.jpg Get one and enjoy. Once you have one of your own you can use it whenever you have the time and energy. I just picked this up. Have 3 hours on it so far and it is a blast can not wait to get past the 10 hour break in.
