folks, please , advise the best options to buy:
Yamaha FX 160 hp, 2007 or Kawasaki Ultra LX 160 hp, 2007.
both used in US , working hours :KAWA 6h, YAM 29h.
I heard a many scare stories about KAwasaki perfomance ,aftermarket etc.
So ,if anyone have an experience with a.m models , please, share your view on it.
Thanks!

I've never ridden either model but I do know the Kawasaki Ultra is an excellent rough water hull. Many people had major problems with the supercharged 250 and 260x versions but the naturally aspirated version might be OK.

Ernest knows alot about the 4 stroke Yamahas I'll let him chime in about the FX.

I presently own an 07 Ultra LX and it is fantastic. I've ridden Sea Doo's and a few yamahas and they are all fine. I have about 50 hours on mine and it has needed no work but yearly fluids and impeller changed, even the battery is the same as when I bought it. Also the ride is probably the best out there. A few times a year I take a several hour ride from Old town Sacramento to San Francisco and it gives a smooth solid ride. It's super hard to flip. All my friends love driving it because of how comfortable it is compared to their ski's. I would definitely by another one.
