I wouldnt just because the engine aint big enough IMO and 50mph dont cut it for me. but it is a 3 seater which is a plus especially if you want to ride w/ anyone who isnt a female and dont want to look but its not fast enough imo..

You should buy my 02 750 SXI Pro instead. Sit downs are for old guys. J/K I have both but I am selling my stand up for $2500

GTXs are good skis.

That one looks hammered, but the price is right if it rights allright.

Sea Doo and Yamaha are the only way to roll on sit downs.

I wouldn't buy it, with a jetski you get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy a jet skit that is older then 2000, the older they get the more problems they have and they are very expensive to get worked one. We have a 2001 seadoo which is a newer version of that one and I love it but we started having engine problems last summer. And we had a 99 Yam 1200 and we lost a cylinder in that. After like 6-7 yrs the jet pumps get worn and one think leads to the other. Besides like was said before 800cc is too slow.
