I had one SD XP as my play around sit down. Since I ride only in the ocean and specialize in Big Wave jumping, that Sea Doo was crap. I had a little Yama Wave Raider which we dubbed the Tub boat cuz it towed various SD's in every day. At one point I had FOUR Sea Doo tied to me as I pulled them home thru the Palm Beach Inlet. That would have been a great advertisising shot lol.

Lil older thread but was searching for something else and saw this. Funny you mention that, I had a heavily modded Waveraider w/ engine built by Riva. Raiders are hands down the most fun and wild ski's. I too used to always be out of the Hilsboro inlet when it was rough jumping, I've lost track of how many Sea Doos had to be towed in or had problems and the Yammies just kept going and going. I've ridden newer ski's, and had a modified gp1200r as well....still no comparison. Next ski I get will be a clean Raider to build again. Its just so light and wild to ride, all the new skis feel like bloated machines now, and none will take near the abuse a Raider will in rough water jumping. I use to liken it to a Viper, just raw and mean, one mistake and it will buck your ass right off lol.
