Right now I have an HX I ride in the ICW and go out in the ocean to jump waves in the surf. I am looking for a second ski for my sons and friends to ride with me in the ICW and possibly in the ocean on occasion. I would like:
1) 2 stroke Seadoo (or possibly another brand)
2) something anyone can jump on and ride (the HX isn't that ski)
3) a somewhat smaller and lighter ski so it can still do some small wave jumping
4) large enough for 2 normal size adults to sit and float without tipping over. Doesn't have to be super comfortable or super stable though. I DON'T want a huge whale of a ski.
5) As simple and non-complicated as possible (min gauges, buttons, bells and whistles).
6) NOT a 947 motor.
5) $3000 or less if possible but I could find more $ for the right ski.
I am thinking a 95 XP, 96 SPX, with the 717 motor, or maybe a 94 XP or 95 SPX with the 657X engine, or maybe a 96 XP or 97 SPX with the 787?
