Budgeting for Your PWC Purchase

Before setting out to find the perfect PWC, make sure to set a realistic budget for your purchase. Keep in mind that your budget should account for the ongoing costs of maintenance, fuel, and insurance, in addition to the purchase price. You will also need to periodically invest in new safety equipment for PWC riding, as your old equipment wears out over time.

Selecting a PWC Model

PWCs come in many different shapes and sizes, and they can accommodate anywhere from one to four people. When choosing a PWC, consider how many passengers you wish to accommodate, and how much storage space you need. If you want to take long rides with your PWC or store fishing and watersports equipment on board, you should consider touring models that feature plenty of storage compartments. Meanwhile, if you prefer a small, maneuverable PWC for racing and stunt riding, you should seek out a performance model.

Power levels can vary between PWC models, even within the same class. If you’re new to PWC riding, we recommend choosing a low-powered PWC. These models will be easier to handle, and you can always upgrade to a more advanced model when you gain the necessary skills.
