waverunner that can take abuse?

[davy87nj]

I have two waveraiders ones a 95 the other 96. I used to only ride on lakes but recently i have been going out in a bay and the ocean. I feel like i might be putting these things thru a little to much, jumping then and stuff. plus i get pretty beat up just cutting across the bay on these small skis. I was wondering if these things are pretty durable for what im doing or if i should look into another PWC that can take it a little better. i dont have tons of money so id be buying a used one for around 3 grand. what should i be looking for? the thing i like about these waveraiders is i can whip them around so easily, ive ridden a few sea-doos that felt like i was on a boat and i didnt like that. any suggestions?

With a $3000 budget, you're going to have to sacrifice some agility if you want more stability over big waves. 3-Seat models seem to be more stable, but you'll feel like you're on a boat in comparison to the lightweight Wave Raiders.
