I'm new to jets skis (and water craft) in general. I've used them occasionally, but never owned one, and i'm thinking of picking up two jet skis for next season. I've got two boys that will be 14 & 16 by that time. I was thinking of getting one 3-seater so we could pull a tube/skier, and then either a sporty two-seater, or maybe a stand-up model. I have a bunch of questions, but i'll just ask a few for now:
1) Is it easy to find quality used ones, or is it best to go new instead of risking a maintenance headache? Do they hold their value or are used machines a significant savings?
2) Are there any make/models that are recommended as far as reliability or most "bang for the buck"?
3) Are stand-up models the most fun for solo riding, or do most of you prefer the spotier sit-down styles?
Thanks for any help!
