Get an older Seadoo XP or Kawa ZXI 1100. My favorite though are still the older Seadoo XP's . 95 XP720, 96 XP800 or 98 XP 951 LTD. My favorite ski was still 95 XP Full Race Setup or my 98 XP LTD.
You can find them pretty cheap but make sure you do a compression test on the older skies.
If the compression is good and the skies are bogging when you test them mostly the carbs need to be rebuilt and the fuel lines if original need to be changed out. The XP's will run ya about $45 for the kits per carb and rebuilding isn't that hard.
The ZXI's run 3 carbs so a little bit more.

Yup haha the older X4 hulls I think are still the best. Turn that thing on a dime and be long gone before my friends even complete a full turn on their newer ones.
I used to run it in the ocean all the time and you can get like 20-30ft of air no problem with them haha.

Yea the stock were were crap. Someone used to make heavy duty ones that I had installed and the problem was solved. You just had to make sure the motor was shimmed properly on them to. If its not shimmed properly the motor mounts will fail quickly.
