What is the most reliable? What to stay away from? What is your experience?

I had 2 Yahamas and had no problems. But they got old quick.

Yup. About 10min of smiles, and I'm done.

If asking cause you have kids, then it is a different story...

Get with ECU1984
He’s has had at least one of each model. Rebuilt the engines in several and I think he’s getting some new ones to take down to the keys

No. No no no no no

They are fun to rent but not own.

I have Yamaha. Reliable over sea doo which I have had several of those too.

Like asking, “Fat girls, brunette or redhead?”

If you want to give your kids CTE, it's much cheaper to strap on a football helmet and beat them upside the head with a Louisville Slugger...

I just know as a kid, I enjoyed them much more. And I know several "lake kids" who use their skis just like I did ATVs when I was a kid. It's a fun sense of freedom for them. Granted, they should be lawful and respectful, but, they're kids, and like the rest of us, we were no angles.

Yamaha > sea.doo

**Duck Nitz** · 02-24-2019, 11:28 AM

get a kayak...you can do kill shots from them, I hear

**SCSportsman** · 02-24-2019, 12:57 PM

Yamaha is the only choice. Much more reliable.

Also, don’t hate the jetski, hate the operator. The problem is the parents that don’t teach the young uns manners.

My parents bought a couple used Sea Doo's 12 or so years ago when my siblings and I were kids. We haven't had any issues out of them and they still get drug out a few times each summer. Change the plugs every year, run ethanol free fuel and don't abuse them.
