I love jet-skiing but never owned one. Can't justify the cost for how much I would be able to use it.
nice pic!

these things are only around 1k bucks, for me i have never lost money on a ski, the first ones i bought for 300 each and i sold each of them for 1k than i bought each of my superjets for 800, so in the end it only cost me 100 bucks per ski, when i sell them i will be making 900 bucks per ski

I've never used a true stand up Jet Ski but I love to bum my friends wave runners whenever I get the chance. They are a blast offshore in the surf. A little too expensive for me and they are always breaking down. Remember these are 2/3 seaters that cost a wee bit more then a Jet Ski.

I ride a 750 sxi, with worx maxiloader intake grate, worx extended ride plate, watercraft factory head, wiseco pistons, custom recessed freestyle footholds.
I wanted to paint it kawi racing green, and install a freestyle handlepole, but will probably end up selling before the summer gets here, and break down and buy a newer superjet, or an 800sxr. I've been riding standups for about 15 years! Thats my 86 CJ7 in the background. It needs a new valve cover and a good cleaning!

Wow, I didn't even know we had a watercraft section on here.
I have a 2005 Kawasaki Jet Ski Stx 12f ( I think that's it) It's a 3 seater, but it's pretty quick (around 55MPH) Good power, too. Used to have another of the same, but an 06(sold it). Those things seem to have problems with the motors blowing, though. Both of ours did, and with less than 150 hours on them....so we're going a little easier on them. Also have a SeaDoo, I'm not sure what kind it is, but it's an early 2000's model.

Nice! Its still cold here in sc, but man I'm counting down the days to hit the water again!
I also have two sea-doo gtx 3 seaters, one 02 and one 98 that run in the low 50's great for pulling a tube or hydro slide!

I've always heard that stand up jet skis aren't easy to ride. Is this true? Ive been thinking about getting a pair and want stand up but don't want to waste money on something I wont be able to ride.

The older js hulls are challenging because of the small hull design. My advice is learn on an old school kawi js hull, and you will be able to ride any stand-up lol. I have an 05 kawi 800sxr and its not much of a challenge at all compared to the js hull, but boy is she fast!! here is a couple pics of my js in the water. Our jack russell loves to ride too!

Ride an 89 650sx. Only mod is a ride plate. My sister and bro in law have a house on the delaware river, so my ski spends most its time on their dock. Since I'm in Maryland.
