Looking to get a ski...Need some help!

[bighitbiker3]

Hey guys, i'm new to this whole ski thing so I need some help. I'm doing some research right now just looking for the right one. Basically here are my options. Keep in mind i'm looking for two...

1) Two Brand New 2008 155 GTi SE (not sure on price, around 8k each)
2) Two 2005 215 RXP's with 30 hours on them for 16.5k with trailer
3) One 2005 RXP 215 and one 2005 RXT 215 both with 60 hours on them for 16k with trailer

I'm looking for something for my kids (20 and 18) to mess around on when they are home for summer. One of them has friends with ski's so he has driven them before and the other one has ridden on them before.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks,
Elliott

gonna spend that kind of "scratch", i'd buy new. If new to pwc's, what about the gsx or xp. Speeds from these machines are great, and get'em around 2-3 grand each?

So you would suggest going with the GTI's then?

First thing I'd decide is a 2 seater(s) or a 3 seater(s). Then I'd go to the dealer on a new '08 or '09 and get your best deal. These used ones your looking at seem a little high on price. I just took delivery of a new out of the box '08 RXT 215 for $8,753 out the door, w/ trailer $9,600 including all registration and fees .
I was like you and looking for a used Seadoo to save $$$ but was concerned about issues with a used one. Check the local dealers for there are rebates till 8/31. JM2cents
