Need Help on picking out my 1st pwc

[hairball]

I need help picking out my fisrt pwc. I like to do my homework before shopping.
My wife and I own a family cottage with a pontoon boat for fishing, cruising, and swimming. I want a pwc for CRUISING, tubing, and skiing. We Have seven kids 21-32 years old with spouses and 5 grandkids, only 2 above 5 years old.
We're thinking 3 seater, but what HP and model? 130hp, 155hp, 215hp wake pole???? Help.
Oh we're thinking of buying new, but a model year or two old, if that makes sense.
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Depend what you want 215hp requires alot more maintenance then the 155hp. 155hp motor is pretty much bomb proof and still plenty of power for water sports.
