I just registered and was going to make a post about it with some questions also. Did you get the maintenance package? I believe it was around $1300 for 3 years. Was going to do some research to see how much maintenance costs usually for a brand new pwc to see if we needed it or not. Was leaning towards not getting it. It included winterization, oil changes, repairs, etc.
They will drop the pwc off at our lake nearby, but we probably will need to get a trailer also. Any other advice regard this model or tips after buying a new PWC?
Got this one:

Seems as though we are in the same seat as I am a rookie with these PWC. I am actually looking at the orange Honda as well
I looked at Yamaha and Sea Doo units this past weekend, but the $6500 price tag for the Honda kept popping up in my head. Like I mentioned, I am a Honda man as I drive a Honda Pilot, my wife drives a Honda CRV, my push mower is a Honda (even though I hardly use it as I have a John Deere zeroturn mower) and I even managed to talk my anti- import brother into getting a Honda Oddyssey.
I am working on getting an appointment to get my hitch installed and trying to find a nice used PWC trailer as I really don't want to drop $800 for a brand new one. Other than that I have the wifey pooh 90% on board to getting the Honda. I guess one thing that i need to figure out is where I will store the trailer while the PWC is in the water (I will probably leave it in the water as we have a dock at our condo).
One other question is about security. How easy is it to rip off a PWC? Does the Honda have any anti theft (or anti- in-law) equipment?
