I've been riding pwc since 1992. I've probably owned a total of 8 to this point. I raced sitdowns a few years ago but gave that up last year. Since then I've switched to standup watercraft. These are incredibly more difficult to learn and master. Currently I own a 2005 Kawasaki 800 SXR and a 1990 Yamaha superjet (which my daughter is learning).
If you are serious about riding pwc I urge you to think about what you would like to do with it.
For example:
For touring on relatively flat water or towing you would probably want a 3 person craft.
If you are younger, ride by yourself and ride hard you might want to look into a older 2 person sport or old musclecraft.
If you are really looking for a challenge look into a standup.
Where you ride is important to (I live on the shore of Lake Michigan). Small, flat lakes get a little boring after a while on the big machines (3 seater couches). Small machines are a riot on the oceans or big lakes that get a lot of waves). Standups provide challenges everywhere.
Manufacturers that I've purchased are yamahas and kawasakis. Sea-doos, yamahas, kawasakis, hondas are all pretty good these days. They really have to be for the prices.
Just my 2 cents worth of advice.
