Stay away from Polaris!!! For one simple reason if no other, They no longer are in the watercraft business. Same is true for Tigershark, It could become and is a parts and service nightmare. Also their value has tanked due to being extinct. Most dealers won't take them in trade or if they do its for pennies on the dollar. With that said, there are many Polaris owners that have had great machines, I have a friend that just sold 2 Polaris' with over 350hrs on each, all original parts... But as I said, stay away. Seadoo or yamaha, thats the safe bet!
