We are in the market to buy a Waverunner.
I think I should be shopping for a Sea Do GTS or GTI. Can someone with model knowledge please confirm if this is correct?
Here is what we are looking for:
The unit must be a 3 passenger model with reverse. This is so we can use the waverunne to pull the kids tubing or skiing.
Preferred brand is Sea Doo. We previously owned a Sea Doo GTS years ago and this is about what we are looking to buy. I think but not sure, that the GTI is just a newer model but basically the same entry level 3 person model.
Our preference is something that is about 7-10 years old, 2 stroke, and smaller engine.
Plans are to use this with the kids. We don’t want it to be beat to heck but also we don’t want it to be ‘like new / premium priced’ either.
We are not looking for a high performance, high priced, not a scratch on it model.
Price range is between 2 to 3.5 grand with trailer depending on the specific model, condition, etc.
Our plan it to tow this with our boat using a towdster, anchor and use this as a play toy. I understand I will need to pinch the water pick up line before towing then remember to remove the pinch tool.
Background:
Three kids. The oldest is 12 and she took the boaters safety class this spring. Actually, I re-took it with her and worked thru the booklet with her as well. It was a nice refresher.
We boat in northern Wisconsin, USA on the Winnebago pool chain of lakes. This includes Lake Winnebago, Butte des Morts, Poygan and Winneconne. There are also some smaller lakes including Little Lake butte des Morts and Partridge Lake. The primary feed waters of the Winnebago Pool are the Wolf River & Fox River.
We cruise, ski, tube, kneeboard, fish, swim, cook, eat, sleep and have fun as we spend time together. We often cruise upriver to the undeveloped and scenic portions of the river then spend the night.
Our boat is a Sea Ray 280 Sundancer with twin 5.0L Merc's with Bravo III drives. It's well equipped with a generator, air conditioning, heat, radar, chart plotter, windlass anchoring system, and more.
