I have a 2003 Honda Jetski, F-12X, the Turbo model.
I love it. I went with it due to hardly any maintenance required and its reliable its a Honda. Sea-doos are so unreliable its not funny. Stay away from them.
www.pwctoday.com has alot of info.

Honda Jet ski's IMO are too big, but that might interest some people. I would look at a Sea Doo XP or Yamaha 800/1300R. Those will give you a more dynamic ride.

snowdude 1, what kind of water will you be riding in, and what kind of riding will you be doing? I got spoiled with a pair of 3 seater turbos, jumping in 4-8 ft seas, with the softest of landings, and an almost permenant grin from ear to ear. If your on a small inland lake, you'll get bored quick, imo.

If it was modified, once I put on my boost kit, its all over for you. Which its sitting in the garage as I speak. But Riva, one of the big raceing people know the Honda isn't easy to beat, and its one of the best skis out.
I already beat a SC seadoo....

You forgot about the RXX silver.
Fastest out of the factory , but not a production machine.
It was made in 2001 only and they made 175
12,000 firm from sea doo----NO WARRANTY
You needed to be an AWA sanctioned driver to get your name on the list.
Radarred at 72 mph

thanks
ok thanks so much for the info, the reason i am not looking at the 1300 is bc it is a 2 stroke and i heard they are alot of maintance and also they eat the gas, the reason i was leaning for the honda is bc i heard its problem free until sea doo which needs alot of maintance, also i plan on doing back water riding and some wave jumping for those who were interested. so is the honda the way to go or what should i be looking at more carefully?
thanks
marc

Go find a stock Honda and see if you can keep up! :P

Burn some dust here
I have a Yamaha GP800R and love it. Its not as fast as the 1300 obviously but its plenty quick (gotten it to 70) and will corner on the dime. Theres alot of good ones out now from the Sea-Doos, Kawasakis, and Yamahas. I dont know alot about the Hondas so reading this is pretty new to me.

Russ, I know Riva works on Hondas, but their specialty is GPRs.

My friends XLT-1200 has the same engine as the older one, I walk away from him. The 1300 though is very close match, they are almost the same speed. One mod would put the other one behind. But one mod to the boost on the Honda, its all bye bye to any Jetski out.

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
My brother has a waverunner from around 1996 that's still running great. Even after a bad accident... They're built strong I, on the other hand, still have a scar on my left arm
