what's a good deal for a 3 seater jet ski w/ trailor?

and does anyone know if a 2-seater jetski has enough power to pull a wakeskater?

most do, but legally in most states you can't pull a wakeskater with a 2 seater. Because you have to have a spotter, and an extra seat in case something happens that the skater needs in the sea doo

i ride behind a 02 honda turbo aquatrax and we got it go 9,500 from a dealer online. at the local shop it was more like 10,500 to 11.000 out the door. dont bother w/ a 2 seater also, when u cut out u turn the ski hense messing up the wake.

unless you want a piece jetski thats most likely bound to have problems with it and you'll end up spending more on parts to fix it whenever that time comes then you spent on the whole jetski. well that guy is prolly a lazya*s or just doesnt understand the true meaning of winching Wink

I'd rather put the money down for a boat (which you can take your friends and family) for the amount your talkin for a JS.

you can probably find an old outboard in decent shape for that much

We got our jetski for $1500. 1996 yamaha wave venture 3 seater. Its got amp/speakers and towes pretty damn good. You cant beat that.

No problems at all. We ride it almost every day. I ordered the repair manual off ebay for like 12 bucks so i can stay on top of it. Theres another post around here about sound systems on a ski and you can see a few pics of ours.

my buddy just picked up i think the same ski, it's a 750, he got it for $1700. it's pretty sweet, i skated behind it for the first time, it pulled me up fine, but i'm 130lbs much bigger than me and i don't think it would pull you up

No matter what, go with a Yamaha. They're great skis and the engines are really durable.
