[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2886657, member: 24531"] If you are only going to own one, I recommend 3-seater. Heavier and won't beat you up as bad, easier to mount, and more stable in the water, and friendlier to a variety of riders in the family; probably a little safer too. I am a Kawi-freak but I'd choose the SeaDoo for what you're wanting if it was down to those choices. I can relax on my ski, but it is a stable, sit down model. Seems like you are referring to the stand-up versions? Some of the newer, larger personal water craft have lots of creature comforts like a road-bike vs say a dirt bike. Also, last I heard, the coast guard prohibited any stock craft from being capable from the factory of going over 70mph. This could have changed but I doubt it...you certainly can do mods and get them faster, but remember how in-accurate marine speedos are...if your 20yr old ski says you are doing 70, you are probably doing 59 :) Not sure but I have in the back of my head that drivers of PWC must be 16yrs or older...I'm sure the laws are different everywhere but the owner's manuals generally say they are not intended for people under 16...if I had a responsible, properly trained 14yo, I'd prob let them drive under certain conditions.
