I've seen the description on Sea-Doo's materials, but there's nothing on how it actually mechanically works. What makes it special? What does it actually do? Here's Sea-Doo's description:

An ALL-NEW feature for 2012. The Weedless system is a device controlled from the helm that removes weeds from the engine’s intake grate. It all means less maintenance – and much more time on the water.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks!

We're looking to purchase our first boat this Spring. Right now, I'm looking at either the 2012 See Doo 210 Wake or Yamaha 212x.

I'm a bit conflicted as I much prefer the Sea Doo features, design, layout, etc. But, the dealer network in my next of the woods (Cincinnati OH) is nonexistent.

Having said that, I'm curious. Can anyone explain to a newbie why the 212x top speed with 360 HP is pretty much the same as the Sea Doo with 430HP?

As a new boater, I favor reliability, but want to have enough umph to ensure when the kids get older (currently 9 and 10) and bring some friends on the boat it can still pull effectively. Will the 310HP Sea Doo have the umph? We'd like to be able to tube, ski, and wakeboard.

Finally, anyone know a good Sea Doo dealer in the Cincinnati area? I think if it's within about an hour it's still doable.

Thanks!

Newbie here!

I'm starting my quest to find my first boat! Right now, I'm definitely leaning towards a jet boat and am in what seems like the standard Yamaha vs. Sea Doo comparison stage. Before I start hitting up a dealer (likely in spring), I'd like to have a feel on option costs. Both Yamaha and Sea Doo put there MSRP right on their websites, but I can't seem to find ANY information on option costs (Like upgraded Trailers, Wakeboard Towers, Weedless System on 2012 Doos, etc.).

Any insights where I can find the option pricing before hitting dealers?

Thanks!
