We have had a three seater Seadoo GTS with 85 HP motor since 1997. Only thing we have done to it is replace spark plugs twice. We got the simple model (GTS) with only a gas and oil light gauge. From what I have heard and seen, these fancier models with all the electronic speedometers, etc. are the ones that stay in the shop. All those gadgets look cool and show everyone that extra money has been spent. So what, I prefer something that is reliable and does not stay in the shop.

Also, from what I have seen, a three seater is much more stable and less prone to being flipped. When we bought ours, we were told it is very difficult, if not impossible, to flip a Seadoo three seater. Ours has never been flipped and the teenagers have done 360s on several occassions. It also does not porpoise when riding like a lot of the two seaters and one seaters do.
