I have a SeaDoo GTX-4Tec and it has been quite reliable; I bought it from Freedom...now H&K in Tilton. In addition, I purchased my Kawasaki 750SX years back from Steve Whalley; H&K Laconia. Between the two dealerships they cover the complete portfolio of PWC.

I am taking a mini-vacation in Bermuda this week and went down to the dock to look at the rental PWCs. They are all Yamaha VX 4 strokes. The hulls are completely beat up but they all run. I think that is probably the best validation of reliability.

Since you are new to PWC, it would be best to ride several of them to see which one you like. If it is a private sale, it is not a bad idea to have a mechanic check the PWC prior to purchase. If you purchase from a dealer, they should offer you a warranty.
