Just thought I would share an example of why I will never buy any ski but Seadoo. I had my 2009 RXT-IS down at the shore earlier this month when after some extreme riding I spun the driveshaft. Splines were stripped. I purchased it at the early part of June 2009. I took it back to my dealer who was a great advocate for me in getting Seadoo to cover the total repair without any crap two months out of warranty. They replaced driveshaft and impeller in under two weeks and I am back on the water at no expense to me. Sorry about the rest of your all's luck.
Very satisfied with Seadoo and my Dealer J & J Watercraft.
