I personally would recommend going with a four-stroke engine. My reasons are that they sound better, stink less and last longer.

As many of you already know, we own a Sea Doo GTX. We went with this model especially because it had tilt steering, which turned out not to be a factor after all.

I am able to handle this craft with confidence and ease. I've been out in all kinds of weather and wave conditions with absolutely no problem at all.
It's actually quite fun surfing on top of the huge waves - the ones the guys like to jump.

I feel more comfortable navigating our jet-ski than our 21' boat. My family thinks that I am crazy. Am I the only one with this problem?
They think the boat is much easier to handle. Guess I need more practice with it.

The guys love the power and responsiveness of this machine and it gets used quite a lot.
As you might imagine, I use it in a much different manner.

They like to get air and I like to not get hurt.

It's been the perfect 2nd boat that suits our needs perfectly.

Good luck in your hunt! You are going to really enjoy your new toys.
