After owning many over the years, I would go Yamaha over Sea Doo. I just find them to me more reliable.
If you are buying new and looking to save money, I would suggest Ebay. I have bought machines from different parts of the country from dealers looking to blow out leftovers dirt cheap, with full factory warranty. Even with transport (keep in mind gas is dirt cheap so it doesn't cost much to move one), I have saved a lot of money.
One time I bought a machine out of the midwest and found a moving company (The Country Picker out of North Conway via Uship) to throw it trailer and all in the back of their moving van on a return trip from a long distance move and deliver it to me for a few hundred $$$. It was found money for them, they were returning empty anyhow.
As far as warranty/service, I have never had problems with a local dealer handling service work. They still get paid the same from the manufacturer to do warranty repair if its their machine or not.
