Hello all. My brother and I bought 2 yamahas a few years ago. Both were 10 years old, 2 strokes, and we had more problems with them then time actually on the water. We spent a majority of our time at the dock with tools. It was such a joy! We ride on the Chesapeake where our parents live and of course love the water. We ran into problems with getting them serviced down there as well. Everything down there is Sea-Doo. Probably should have taken that into consideration before we bought Yamahas.... anyway we are going to give Sea doo a shot and get a brand new one to start and will add another one in the very near future. I have been looking at the GTI SE with the 1503. I have heard that the 900 is somewhat of a dog compared in the GTI SE. I could be wrong? I am hoping to learn a lot on the maintenance side of the house on here because I know from past experience how important this is. We never really new what we were doing to be honest and with a new ski we will know what we are getting, vs questioning if we are inheriting someone else's problems. I'm hoping the manual will be a great guide and tool to use once we get the ski, but I see a lot of you guys are experts and would greatly appreciate any and all advice! I would like to start assembling a specific tool collection and products (inventory) to ensure I have most of what I need to get through the first season. We have a dual bunk lift installed and I am planning to build a shed to keep them winterized and protected in the winter. Thank you and maybe I will see you on the water!
