    Sit down, standup or seadoo 3D???

    Hey guys new here and new to jetski ownership in general.
    From maylands in perth WA and am about to pull the trigger on a 2010 seadoo GRX 155. Buuut, I'm second guessing it...which is never good when your about to buy something. My worries lie in the fact I wont get the thrill out of the couch Im Lookin for. And Please don't say it's cause it dosent have a supercharger. I mean in jumping ability, surf riding and general tomfoolery. I also want to tow biscuits and wakes as well, cruise for long periods in open ocean and have a nice ride that female companions can enjoy.
    My question is, will a seadoo 3d cover all these requirements or am I better off getting the couch and then a yamaha or kwaka standup to fool around on???

    Any feebvack on any of the Points I've made would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey buddy and welcome.
    Well with a PWC it pretty much ticks all your boxes.
    A 3d won't be comfortable for long rides and believe it's a single seater (misses won't be happy)
    My opinion would be grab yourself a two seater PWC which you can still take in the surf and have a bit of fun on as well + tow (laws permitting in your state).

    I'd be looking at a couch for cruising etc. and a stand-up (or a yamaha waveblaster 1) as a second ski to really be able to play with. This is the way we eventually went andI ride the stand-up most of the time. I only take the big couch for tours, or when need to take out others with me. I ended up getting a blaster for the missus to have real fun on.
    As for the 3D - I've got a couple of mates who really enjoyed the ones they had, but they definately were not skis to go on long rides with - smallish fuel tank and a narrow seat that apparently felt like it was going up ya bum.
