BTW,
if anyone seeks a SMOKING deal on a 2005+ Sea Doo XP, RXP, whatever model is a giant 3 seater that hauls ass - let me know.
I want something that I can play around with or maybe tow behind the 318 on an occassional weekend.
What I found when we bought the '08 STX, it only cost me a tad more to buy a new one vs, what everyone wanted out of the used ones. Also I really wanted a 4 stroke, very quite, very fuel economic and loads of power.
1500cc 4 stroke 4 cyl, brand new for $7k ish vs $6500-6800 for a 5 year old 2 stroke. Ya, I did go look at what Yamaha and Sea Doo had to offer as well, but we all go back to that brand we feel comfortable with.

Yep, I play with a mod'ed 650 Kaw and a sit down craft. The stand up is FUN (in small doses). I enjoy the heck out of mine, but in 30-45 min. intervals (getting old I guess.....My body dosen't take the abuse like it use to).

I hear you. When we goto powell and beach camp 20 miles from any marina, have to ride the stand up entire way, no matter what the chop is like. Workout!! Have found that current boat does not get on plane fast enough to tow stand up (just dives to the bottom), where as our last boat would do it with ease.
Really just need a larger cruiser/larger swim deck, to haul stand up on!!! Someday.....
Also my '94 750 is getting tired, I would love a newer 800cc stand up! Is on the wish list.
