How to Buy a PWC

Before you rush out and score that once-in-a-lifetime deal on a PWC, there are a few things you should figure out first. You'll want to address some basic concerns: the activity you want to do on the water, how many people are riding, and your skill level. When you've covered your bases, or have more questions, swing by RideNow Austin near Round Rock, New Braunfels, and San Marcos, TX to view our full selection of new and used models.

Size Seating

The size of a PWC affects everything from acceleration to wake displacement, so getting the right size PWC for you should be a priority. Extra seats mean a larger craft, which can actually enhance the stability of your ride and are often the preferred choice for beginning riders. Those seeking an adrenaline rush usually opt for a smaller, lighter one seater PWC designed for maximum performance and thrills. Later models of PWC can even feature seating for four, and boast a launch platform on the back-end for towing.

New or Used

If you're trying to stick to a budget, choosing the used PWC can seem like a no-brainer when compared to the more expensive new model. Most of the time, you'd be right, but as when buying any other vehicle, you want to pay attention to more than just the sticker price. Although new PWCs are often more expensive, they often come with a warranty, a data tag registration number, and of course aren't accompanied by any history of damage or mechanical issues.

A used PWC, however, takes careful and patient inspection before committing to taking one home. Often a reduced price comes with a reason, so you'll want to be sure to check for rust on the hull, the intake grill, and any fluid leaks or hints of wiring issues. Finally, finding a used PWC with lower usage hours could save you tremendously. If you compromise on a watercraft with tons of hours, it'll cost you less immediately, but nickel-and-dime you for years to come.

Skill Level

Your skill level effects what style of PWC is best suited for your ability and that deal-of-a-lifetime you found doesn't mean a thing if you can't ride it confidently. Long PWCs with wide hulls afford newer riders plenty of control and stability even when riding at higher speeds, so they're an easy choice for developing your skill level.

A more seasoned rider may enjoy a less stable shorter, narrow-bodied PWC that affords a skillful rider more maneuverability. Regardless of your skill level, ensure that the PWC comes with a kill switch lanyard connected to your ignition. This proves invaluable for when you become separated from your PWC and ensures your new or used PWC doesn't take off without you.

Now you should have a better idea of how to shop for your next PWC. So when you're ready to start shopping or have questions that need answers, our skilled professionals at RideNow Austin are here to help you find the PWC that's right for you.
