Same procedure as airplanes. Price your budget, and then find the best model in that price range.
SeaDoos are usually regarded as the best watercraft and they have changed a lot over the last few years. Do you want a short 2 seater, or the longer more stable 3 seater? I have had many and the GTX 3 seaters (with perfect room for 2!) and very nice. The early ( pre 95s) had a "slippery hull", which allow them to be spun quite easily, after that they went to the v-hull which are much more stable. @ 97 or so, while all still two strokes, you can also get a fuel injected model, and the 4 strokes came out. @ 2001 or so. My brother has two newer 2009 models and i can assure you, they are much faster than any two stoke ever was. They are Supercharged with @ 240hp each, will do 0-60 in 3 seconds and you WILL fly off the back if you are not holding on tight on a speed launch!
