Hey for what it's worth, I am brand new to jet skis - never owned one before now. I followed this forum (among others) for a while before deciding this is where I should 'hang my hat'. I decided on an older model 2 stroke SeaDoo (in fact, now I have 2 of them that don't run, lol). Lots of work ahead and lots of hours will be spent in the garage. In fact, I estimate that I just might spend more time in the garage 'learning' the first couple of seasons than being out on the water but I'm ok with that and sometimes learning comes at a price, and I'm sure I'll make mistakes - I built that into my purchase. But I will never make the mistake of thinking that going from 2 stroke to 4 stroke or from Seadoo to Yamaha will alter that risk - I've read far too many forum threads to believe that. Unless money is no object for you, you either jump in with both feet or not, I don't think there is anything in between. And if I go into the water and only last 10 minutes, I'll go back to the garage, put my student hat on, log on to this forum and keep on going. It's been an immense help already!!
amen brother.
