[QUOTE="WTH, post: 498468, member: 4642"] I have one, Seadoo Speedster. Like anything it all depends on how you maintain it. I have very little issues with mine and I have had it for a few years. Mine is a twin engine, I did replace an engine shortly after I bought it, cheap enough to replace and was fairly easy to do. Since then I have no issues. SeaDoo is the way to go, their engines put out more power than any of the others and again when properly maintained will last a long time. When buying check the wear rings and impellers. Do a compression test, the compression should be very close on the cylinders on the same engine. Of course salt water is bad on any engine, if it has been properly flushed afterwards it is probably ok, but I would prefer fresh water. Power is not a problem, gets out of the hole quickly, pull a skier, tube, whatever. Depending on the model you can count anywhere from about 40-60 mph. You can get all the information you could want here.... [url=http://www.seadooforum.com/forumdisplay.php?5-Sea-Doo-Boats]http://www.seadooforum.com/forumdisplay.php?5-Sea-Doo-Boats[/url] If you have any questions let me know. If you buy a one year membership there you can download service manuals, I highly recommend getting one, tells you everything you need to know. Depending on what model you get I may have one I can send you. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
