So I have only been out twice on my neighbors Yamaha VX Deluxe, but I am in love with Jet skiing. I find it much more exciting and easier to store than a boat.
I live in Tampa and will be hitting up Courtney Campbell, Gandy, Dunedin Causeway, Ft Desoto/Eggmont, etc...
I have been looking at the Kawasaki Ultra 250x. I stopped by the dealer last night and loved its vast cargo hold and the over all "evilness" of it. However I have seen alot of talk on the forums of it being a gas hog. I am not concerned so much with the cost of fuel as I am with how far I can go & running out early in the day.
I have read the Yamaha FX HO is a good contender as well, but I see I lose 50% of my storage space. There is also a considerable HP loss with the FX HO. I am looking for more power than the VX Deluxe I have been riding offers, so I am sure both skis will have more power, but just wondering if the 250X is overkill.
I have found a good deal on a 250X locally with low hours and it tip top shape.
I am looking to cruise around but I also want power. I have had fast camaros and currently have an M3 for a vehicle and have never thought to myself, "Damn this car has too much power!"
Any thoughts?
