I have two 750cc 2-strokes 2 seaters from the mid-late 90's. IMO, they plenty good for occasional inland lake/river use for family fun and will run about 45 mph.
OTOH, I once went riding on a rough chop day on Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie with my 60 year old uncle and one of his friends who had modern supercharged 4-strokes. We rode the length of Sandusky Bay (probably 10 miles) with 1-2' chop with me hanging on for dear life at maybe 35-40 mph. They were just comfortably cuising along on their big heavy machines while I was getting the god living crap beat out of me. We then cruised about 10 miles on a river which was calm... I had to run nearly wide open but could keep up with their normal "cruising" speed. We recrossed the bay then entered a very rough Lake Erie..... We all got pretty beat up on the Lake, but even the big machines could no longer keep up a fast pace.
I had to refuel twice with my smaller tank and thirsty 2-stroke.... They only fueled up once at Cedar Point near the end of our trip.
Family occasional inexpensive fun on a small relatively calm lake/river.... The old 2 seat 2-strokes are plenty good.
For hard core wave blasting or long open water trips, you will probably want the bigger heavy modern machines.
