SeaDoo, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda all make very good products. It's all about how well it was maintained. I personally like SeaDoo and Honda. Yamahas tend to be bulky and heavy. You won't find a cheap 4 stroke out there that's in good condition. A good running 3 seat 2 smoker can still fetch 3 grand even as far back as Model Year 1997. I bought a used 1997 SeaDoo GTX from DaSilva in Moultonborough, they are good people there. I think about a week after I bought it the coil went and likely my fault. They honored the 50/50 warranty even though a case could have been made that I should pay for it. I have also purchased a snowmobile from them. So I second DaSilva Motorsports as someone to buy from. They usually have a few reasonable priced used SeaDoos there.
