Wave Runners/ Jetskis

[Mean250r]

hey guys, my parents are looking to buy a house on the water and you know what that means! Jetskis!:devil: ..... but yeah what kind do you recomend, i was looking at the Sea doo 3D where you can switch up the seats and stuff. Mostly looking for speed lol

[trick250r]

if you're just starting out and want speed, get the honda two seater. its got a gyro so you wont flip and its scary fast.

the best comparison i can give of a stand up jet ski is to take the seat off of a dirtbike and ride it all day. they beat the hell outta you.

i mean we have had jetskis in the past, but sold them a while ago so i guess were not realls noobs lol. I like the 3D because of the bucket seat u can put on it.

Yeah , but the sit down and master it and be bored in 5 min!!! Buy a new Superjet of SX-R and have the time of you life for years!!

Beat the Hell outta you ?? You must not get out of the house much ...

old standups are teh best! they can be built up pretty easily and are fun to ride.

but for a sit down, i say go with the Honda. It is awesome.

We bought a 3D last year I think its pretty cool. We don't have the bucket seat though but you don't exactly need it you can just sit down without it. The main reason I like it is because you eventually get bored riding it one way then you can just switch and ride a different way.

yes they are and they are awesome we have a kawi 1100 and a polaris 750 the 750 is really fun you can turn it at full speed and do 360 in the water and keep going if you can hang on

I've been riding jet skis since the early 90's and I guess I'm getting old because I wouldn't enjoy a stand-up because of the constant pounding ect.... I have SL 650 and that thing beats the crap outta me! Granted, I'm driving it pretty hard but damn:eek2: I would rather have the comfort, speed and power versus the constant pounding all the time! But, people are different! :D We bought a FX 140 last year and the thing is like a boat but it handles everything great, and over the winter I bought a RXP, all I can say about this one is the holiday weekend should be FAST a one:D :D :D

If you want something fast go with a Yamaha GP1200R- I topped mine out at 66mph last year on calm water- 60mph on rough.

The thing will smoke any new supercharged SEa-Doo out there...just bhe prepared to fork out some serious coin for gas! Im talking $100 for a day and a half

Im talking $100 for a day and a half My FX goes 62 or 63 and thats 140hp, So my guess is that something thats 215hp will probably go 68-70, so............ I'm not sure a GP1200 will smoke any new SC Seadoo out there:D

[tazman7]

Well mine is a 2002 and I smoked a new 2005 last summer

if u say so..i got my gpx seadoo 1500 supercharged around 68 69 last summer..

i love it lots of power.

[tazman7]

thats 69 mph on a stock speedometer right? Thats why those are called a "dreamometer" Try doing it with handheld gps.

I actually raced two sea-doos at the same time. It was a father and son...and I beat both of them equally
