I am looking into buying a Polaris 1200 ski and need to know what ya'll have and if you have had any problems or injuries. My dad is going to co-sign but he is worried that I will get killed on it. It is not my 1st Jet Ski to go on, my freind has a '99 Polaris 1050 and it is a lot of fun. Another one of my friends is picking up his new 2001 Kawasaki 1100 ZXi this month after he has a hitch installed on his new truck.
Tell me what ya'll think about them and what models you suggest.
All the companies have 3 person skis that are equiped with fuel injection, what do you think about that?
I want either the Polaris SLX (1200) or the Polaris Genesis i (1200) Or maybe a Kawasaki 1100 ZXi like my friends new one. I had also seriously considered the Pro 1200 by Polaris but I don't know.
Sea-Doo has a cool feature for kids called the learning key. the Ski comes with 2 different keys, a normal one and the one called the LK key(learning key). The LK key tells the Ski to limit RPM's to 5000RPM or 35mph so when you put a beginner or a kid on it they won't go to fast right away.
Sorry for the long post, just need some help and opinions.

I have a Tigershark Daytona 770 right now...a 97. It's sorta broken now....bc the jerks @ tigershark/arctic cat decided to install a crappy drive shaft/cuppler system that would need to be replaced very quickly to the more expensive one I got it new in 99 & it's already broken! Getting it fixed now tho If I had it to do over again,....I'd have gotten a Yamaha! They seem to ride smooth...but the thing I like...they are very stable. It's ashamed ya can't test drive them first!

I have a 2000 Sea Doo RXDi. It is absolutely awsome. It is 130 hp and it soars. I got it up to 74 mph!!! I would suggest a two seater if you want a persoal watercraft. Anything larger and you might as well get a boat. Have fun!
