Opinions wanted: '02 GTX DI or '06 Wake 155

Not sure if this is the right place to make this thread but tf it isn't, mods feel free to move wherever it should be.

Hey guys, I've been looking at Seadoo PWCs for a while now and I've finally found 2 seadoos that interest me. One is a 2002 GTX Di and the other one is a 2006 Wake 155 but I'm going back and forth between the two. I've never owned a PWC in the past so all of this is fairly new to me.

The GTX DI has 145hrs and the seller is asking $3,900CAD while the Wake has 160hrs and selling for $6000CAD.

Look (IMO): Wake > GTX DI
Fuel economy: ?
Value (IMO): GTX DI > Wake
Reliability: ?
Performance: ?

So, if this was your choice to make, which one would you take?

Thanks guys. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Since you can't really compare them... my short answer is to stay away from the Di ski.

I would NEVER buy a DI ski. When they are good, all is fine. When they have issues, they are VERY hard to diagnose and cost MUCH more to fix.

As a precious owner of a DI ski I can tell you they are an expensive nightmare. STAY AWAY from the DI at any and all cost. You can't compare it to a 155 4tec.

Also the DI is not good on gas.

I'm seeing a trend here... ;-)
