Looking at a 05 Yamaha VX110. No the fastest thing in the world. But it's only 7k with trailor and still has its warranty for a year. I'm really not overly concerned with super fast. I have a "fast car" and it's broke more than it runs. I'll deal with something slow that will run forever as long as it is maintained well. I'm told it will still do 50mph which is plenty fast on the water. My boat isn't even that fast.

Shit, my X2 would run 50.... you can't really go wrong with a yamaha "pwc"...i only consider jet-ski's things that require standing and skill to ride. I have a 3 seater for the wife and daughter.

I recently sold my Superjet ant GP, both very reliable skis. I'm wishing I had at least one of them back. If I find a deal on a round nose SJ I'd probably pic it up.
