iv always been a dirtbike rider but am considering buying a pwc, budget is around 3500 aud, what should i be looking for? id like to have a 3 seater and be able to tow a tube or skier but the stand up skis look like alot of fun... so just after some opinions please

Go with the stand up, sit downs get boring pretty fast, yamaha superjet or a kawi sxr, sxi

stand up! only time i wish i didnt have a stand up is when its supper choppy and i want to haul ass

Thanks

late response, but I have had many jetskis in my time. The stand up are for true addicts . The stuff you see on tv jumping 3 foot waves 8 ft high is not what a newguy will want to do. Trust me 4 ft high on a jetski landing on water is like concrete. Also do not recommend a 2 seater, they are tippy and you will lust for the people cruising on 3 seaters if the water is choppy. If you get a 3 seater make sure it is supercharged or turbo, 200+ horsepower are so fast it feel like you cannot hold on at full throttle.  Craigslist is the cheapest place.

The Polaris two seaters were not tippy. The only good about the true couch boats is the ability to pull a tuber.
My SL 750 would scream and do 50 easily and was very stable. until you tried carving in the chop. I loved the Polaris hull design on the 785. I hate they quit making the only ski with a USA tag.
