seadoo or yamaha, which should I buy? and why

[ekendra]

I have a Vx Deluxe and a Fish Pro Trophy. Depends what you are trying to get out of it. Both companies produce solid machines, seafood produces the new 325 which is the fastest stock ski on the market and engine seems to be sturdy, and built up. Yamaha GP and FX SVHO both super fast and great skis as well. If youre going for accessories and fishing I say go with Sea doo as they have a whole line dedicated to fishing and exploring. You can add aftermarket parts and items to the back of the Yamaha to get a similar effect. Before I bought my trophy I was torn between which one to get. The Seadoo hull design is pretty different than the Yamaha and rides differently as well. The larger SeaDoos ST3 hull is a much drier ride compared to all the Yamaha models. You can add any of the linq accessories to any of the SeaDoo skis that have linq attachments which is a win in my book. SeaDoo seems to be more innovative as it seems IMO that Yamaha is more traditional with mostly color and dash updates over the years. So it really all boils down to how you want to go use it and what ride style you prefer (hull design). I would say if you prefer the wetter hull of a Yamaha vs a drier ride of the Seadoo or vice versa. Also, if you want to be more open to the Linq accessories maybe SeaDoo is the way to go for you. The carbon seal on SeaDoos is really not an issue, just pay attention to maintenance and taking care of your ski and you will not have any issues. I also prefer the audio system of the Seadoo over the Yamaha although it is not a huge difference. SeaDoo ST3 hulls are compatible with their new windshield if you are into that (industry first), may improve music, decrease wind noise, and keep splash down. I would say if you are really still stuck in between, see if you can test ride different models from the big 3 kawi, Yamaha, and seadoo. See which riding style and accessory line up you prefer, what your use will be, and make your decision based on that. At the end of the day it will be a sort of Android or iPhone sort of decision IMO. There exist aftermarket parts and accessories for all companies, although OEM accessories are nice options. Best of luck hope this helps. I have zero regrets with my Trophy, I can fish with it, play music with it, tow sports with it, hit the sand bar with it, hold 2 passengers with it, and still hit about 60mph, while getting better fuel economy than the supercharged ones with it. Cheers.

Yamaha for reliability, easy maintenance and ample storage options.
There's a reason Surf Life saves use then.
FX HO is a fantastic ski.
I have the 2023 FX SVHO Cruiser.
Fantastic piece of kit.

I buy Yamaha and Toyota for reliability and resale value if I ever have to sell them.

[Luuuugn]

Seadoo or yamaha for reliability? dont wanna be stranded with a machine failure on the sea. Ive heard the seedoo's are monre at the workshops more than in the water?

[mortalking]

I can’t wait to get a sea doo myself. Going with the fish pro sport hopefully end of June this year

[fernandomartin]

Kawasaki ultra 310lx 22 and up for me.

I've had 2 seadoos bought them new. I haven't had alot of trouble with them but I would go with yamaha on my next one cause seadoos are having too many issues like the carbon seal and that reverse thing that clears debris from the jet pump and I feel like seadoos quality is declining in reliability. For the prices that the new ones cost it's ridiculous that they don't run at least 10 to 15 years with out issues for that money that's what we should be getting

Ask: Want yourself a torpedoo or a Wavrerunner.. Yamaha all day.

[rockcity]

With the price increase and colorway of the Rec lite Seadoo, it immediately had me look at Yamaha. Japanese manufacturing is leet.

[alanshaw]

want a ski to ride ?..yamaha. want a ski to work on ?..seadoo.

[EdwinHernandez-iifb]

I love yamaha faster and low maintenance, stronger💪

[HeyDudegt]

I went with a 2023 Kawasaki ultra 310X for the savings. even though Kawi isn't accessory friendly as the other two brands, and I figured that wasn't a big deal. I'm a simple person and so far, I'm happy with my choice

[nevonline]

Seadoo is nicer. Closed cooling means less cleaning. Also seadoo looks cooler

[Sandman]

I have a 2022 fxho with the rec deck and fishing accessories. I couldn't ask for a better ski. That thing kicks ass. Plus the ladder on the rec deck is pretty awesome.

[minom.]

Definitely Seadoo. I bought a 2024 GTI fully loaded. It's amazing

[Cummins]

What Yamaha model has the highest HP of the brand?

[sweetanddiscreet]

FX SVHO and FX CRUISER hold Low profile Chairs and a 24 can Cooler AND towels WAY MOST Storage for a beach day.

[billyburnett]

Yamahas have a drains in the fool well

The GTX is the only one with the mid storage. It is not the biggest storage of the larger skis. Kawasaki is the largest internal storage. GTX is actually smaller storage and no cupholders. The GTX storage is conventient but the glovebox is tiny and you can not access that storage while driving because your handlebars flip up. Kawasaki Ultra gullwing storage is great and easily accessible while driving plus cupholders. Sea Doo link system is great but you have to buy the expensive link accessories. But system is great.
