Hi All, just joined today as we are in the market for a new (1st ever) jet boat. We are pretty much set on the Vortex 203VRX or MAYBE the 223. We are an hr south of Atlanta and of all my searches, I cannot find but one VRX for sale in a 600 mile radius.
Does anyone know of a dealership that has a good selection where we can test drive a few?
Thank you!

Is your heart set on Chapparal? They have the seadoo driveline , im not 100% sure if it is exactly the same as a PWC , but if it is there are issues with the carbon seals failing and taking on water on the PWCs and they sink ( ask me how i know )...they have plastic wear rings for the impeller which some prefer and some dont..and as far as i know there is no easy way to access the impellers on the water if you should suck up something while out on the water...if you boat on a lake where there are no weeds or debris that is a non issue...im on my second yamaha jet boat and couldnt be happier..if im wrong about any of the issues i posted about with the Chapparal i apologize but im just just posting what i was told...it is a beautiful boat though

Check out Atlanta Marine and ask for Scott Ledwith (678-482-6499). We purchased our 2015 Chaparral from them and they were top notch, not only during the sale, but they took care of us after the sale involving a few issues...No questions asked, they made sure to make things right. Good luck with your search.
