I'm new to PWC's and want to pick up one of the two. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know the 15f is new for 04, but how reliable is Kawasaki? My concern is the 1000cc and 10000rpm vs 1500cc and 7500rpm,but that is may be nothing to worry about.I also plan on using it in salt water.
Thanks for your help!

Kawasaki is the most reliable brand, hands down.
Also the 15F is the best 3 seater on the market, hands down.

i have both 03 fx 140 & 15f. in choppy water the 140 is a lot drier ride. the 15f eats it up out of the hole and top end. my wife rides the 140 because it is bigger and she feels more secure on it.it just depends on what you want out of your pwc and how you are going to use it. oldude

Oldude have you GPS'd your 15F?

Thanks oldude, I'm going for a '03 fx140, should be fine for an oldude myself. Want just some fun with my boys and an overall good reliable rec ski. How long can you go on one tank,average riding? Just to get an idea.

Hey Reiner- I've got an '03 FX140 and we get between 3 hrs. 20 min to 3 hrs. 30 min out of each full tank of go juice. Oh yeah, it is the perfect recreational fun model.

i would go for the 15f as less revs will mean it will last longer a friend of mine has a 15f and it is quicker out of the hole that the seadoo 4tec sc and about the same top end
