    Tips for making sure I'm renting a quality PWC [2010 GTX]

    I'm looking to rent a 2010 GTX from someone who doesn't live near the water so doing a quick test ride isn't an option but I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth before driving about 200 miles to the lake where we'll be for a week. Is it possible to start and rev the engine out of...

    Opinions on two PWC's

    Looking to potentially rent two non-Sea Doo PWC's for the weekend but I know nothing about them so I was hoping people on here could give me their opinion of them and/or let me know what I should know: Kawasaki STX-12F Yamaha FX Cruiser I don't know what year they are but I figured...

    Question about elevation

    So last week we borrowed a friend's 2014 GTI SE and brought it up to Lake Tahoe. For those who don't know, the elevation in Tahoe is nearly 7,000 feet. Long story short, the performance was awful... about as bad as anything I've ever ridden. It only had about 65 hours on it and our friend swears...

    Carbon Seal

    Have been reading a lot just trying to expand my knowledge on these 4-tec models before I potentially buy and came across someone saying that a "carbon seal failure" is very common and a design error that Sea Doo has. Any truth to this?

    What can cause a submersion/sinking?

    Came across this story recently and it made me curious about what happened: http://pix11.com/2014/06/24/missing-jet-skiers-rescued-in-jamaica-bay-for-9-hours/ Beyond their obvious negligence, what could cause an engine stall and then eventually lead to the PWC being submerged? They said they...

    2008 Sea Doo RXT

    I found somebody who's selling his '08 RXT with only 25 hours (surprised me too) so I'm going to test ride it in about a week when he's available. I was just wondering if anyone on here can tell me something-- beyond the basics-- about it, from how it rides to anything else I'd need to know if I...

    which model is this

    I found this on craigslist, owner asking for $4,200 claiming it's a 2009 Sea Doo GTI. As I've seen this model myself, this does not look like a 2009 GTI but I can't figure out which model it is. It looks like someone with an older model just applied the 2009 GTI graphics kit. Maybe I'm wrong...

    Test rode an older Sea Doo

    Found an advertisement for a 2007 GTI 130 and the owner was only asking for $2,500 so I figured I'd ask for more information. He said it has 453 hours on it but has no mechanical problems and it was checked out by a local mechanic. He agreed to let me give it a quick test ride (he has it on the...

    How does the Spark compare

    Was just wondering if those who have a Spark and another Sea Doo or have rode other Sea Doo's could give me some insight on how the Spark compares. The smallest PWC I've used was the Sea Doo XP DI a few years back and when I heard about the Spark, this one came to mind because I knew it was...

    Need a recommendation

    I've been renting Sea Doo's for about the past 6 years or so and have gotten to the point where I consider myself an experienced rider, but have been limited in the type of Sea Doo I've been able to ride. I'll lay out some basic facts about me and my experience and see if anyone can help me out...

    Rentals in California

    I'm currently looking at buying an entry-level sea doo for my family, but have also been looking around to see if there any places or people in California that rent more powerful Sea Doos (RXP,RXT,etc) for myself as I'm a very experienced rider but can't really afford to drop that kind of money...

    2011 gts 130

    Was thinking about purchasing a 2011 GTS 130 from a friend and was wondering if anyone had comments or experiences they could share about this particular Sea Doo, or a similar year/model. The only other Sea Doo I've rode was a 2007 GTI 130 at a rental place. A specific question I have is...
