How to Choose a PWC?
Personal Watercraft (PWC) are to water sports what ATVs are to off-roading. And if you have finally decided to step into the world of marine sports, then getting the right model is crucial. With hundreds of designs on the market, choosing the right PWC requires a lot of research and scouting.
But there’s no reason to worry. Your friends at Holzhauer Pro Motorsports have come up with a list of considerations that will help you to zero in on your dream PWC. If you’ve already started your search, drop by our trusted dealership in Nashville, IL to check out our impressive inventory of watercraft for sale, including the latest lineup of Yamaha PWCs.
Seating Needs
Are you heading off for an aquatic adventure with your significant other or would you be hosting a bigger group? Depending on the company you plan to have, look for models that offer more seating options, allowing you to bring others, including children.
The larger and wider models can seat multiple people, but are not as fast or easy to maneuver. These vessels are ideal for beginners and for people who are looking to party and relax, rather than an adrenaline-pumping ride.
Generally, most personal watercraft that seat multiple people have room for up to three passengers, including the operator. You can also find models that seat up to four people in some cases, with removable modular seating that can turn the back of your vessel into a larger swimming platform when you don’t have passengers.
Buying New Or Used?
Buying new or used watercraft both come with their own set of benefits. If budget is a concern, then used is a smart choice. Not only has it already been broken in, it might also come with upgrades and customizations made by the previous owner. With careful inspection, you could land a relatively new craft in mint condition, at a much lower price.
However, if you want a brand new Yamaha PWC with the latest technology and all the bells and whistles, new is the way to go. The latest PWC on the market come with things like Bluetooth sound systems and high-performance engines along with sleeker frames that cut through water more effectively. Make sure you visit a reliable dealer (like Holzhauer Pro Motorsports), so that you can check out an impressive inventory before heading to the lake with your PWC.
Stand Up Or Sit Down?
There are two styles to choose from: stand-up and sit-down. Sit-down PWC are great for a more low key experience, they’re wider, easier to steer, and great options for beginners. They come with more storage space and make for an enjoyable family adventure. The stand-up counterparts promise more high-octane fun, are more agile, and can pump out greater speeds. There is generally room for one rider, the operator, and these PWC are ideal for people with a competitive edge looking for a stunt machine.
Features
With so many options out there, there’s definitely a Yamaha PWC that’s right for you! The most basic models will get you from point A to point B and will be more affordable than the high-end ones. You could also opt for watercraft with more upgrades and features. You could go in for a swimming platform where you can relax with the engine turned off, a charging bay for your phone, grab handles for extra passengers to hold on to, towing eyes to tow wakeboarders or inner tube users, waterproof storage to keep your valuables safe and dry, and a bluetooth-enabled sound system to enjoy your favorite numbers. Our expert staff at Holzhauer Pro Motorsports can help.
