Hello all, my name is Matt. I am new to the world of PWC but, not new to riding. As member of several other online forums (silveradoss.com, pitbullforum.com, sigforum.com, firehouse.com) I know the best knowledge is always just around the corner. I am very interested in getting a new PWC, been looking into the Yamaha line of machines, specifically the GP1300R. I really want a fast machine, nothing I am going to grow out of too quick. I have a few questions. What brand of machine has the best reliability? Approximatly how much can I expect for maintenance costs? What makers offer the best value? Specifically what machine would you suggest for a 240 pound 6'2 man? Can you have a rider and tow a tube with most of the models out there, not at the same time? Well I guess this is enough questions for now. I look forward to your replies, thanks in advance. Matt
