yamaha or seadoo
Hey everyone I am looking to get a newer ski for the family this year. 06 or newer and supercharged is not a must and hours is not a big deal to me. I have always been a yamaha guy when it came to jet skis but here the newer seadoos are not bad like the older ones that where known as seadonts lol. What is your opinion on the two
|
Ive owned both , the yamis run great untill suddenly they don't! Have 3 seadoos now of varying ages from 97 to 06 , have had great luck with them .... so far.
|
Yamaha but a newer SC engine 2008 or above. A certain Yamaha SC had some problems I want to say 2003 or 2004 thru 2006 or 2007.
the newer Yamaha SC the better. Sea Doo has a list of problems especially electrical and ECM |
Dads had a couple 2006+ Yamahas that have been great
|
Yamaha for quality and reliability!!

Yamaha all day, EXCEPT the 1200 PowerValve engines (GP1200R / XL1200 from the early 2000s.) Nearly every single one of them, over time would lose the oil injection line to the 3rd carb. The OEM oil line was stretched too tight, and after the lines aged a bit and became brittle; they cracked off the nipple and every single one of them blows the 3rd cylinder.
|
Buy a new enough one to get fuel injection.
I don't know much about the yamahas but the sea-doo 4-tech engines are pretty reliable. I have one and so does my brother with no real issues. They SC seasons of that era are high maintenance. |
I have a 2014 Yamaha FZS with the SVHO engine. Only mod is a speed limiter bypass. The thing runs 74 consistently on GPS and scares the everliving chit out of me. I love it. It has a much more raw feel to it than the Sea-Doo's. My friends Sea-Doo you have to push buttons every time you start it into full power mode. What a crock that is.

Well you've all had a lot better luck with the yamahahas, than me . 2 years and and engine rebuild has been my unlucky experience. :argue:
