Wondering if anyone owns one, has ridden one, or knows more about them than me?

Im considering a Seadoo GTI SE 130. A friend in NJ has one and really likes it. Any additional considerations or thoughts?

I researched them pretty heavily last year and almost bought one a couple of times when I got my VX Cruiser HO. From my research, they’re pretty reliable without the supercharger (which is also more reliable in the last few years compared to prior years and may be overblown-my 2008 RXT never had issues but I babied it). They also are very stable and ride well, and have lots of features. Ultimately it’s a solid purchase in my opinion. If I would’ve found one for the right price, I would’ve bit.

I missed out on it. Seems PWCs are as scarce and sell as fast as quality used boats these days.

That was the same thing I found last year. The only thing that lasted was north of $12-14k/overpriced. Due to new model shortages, this year might be worse.
