Most reliable?

Is there a jetski that is just “the” ski. One that is known for the most reliability, least problems, easiest to fix if anything happens. Or are they all breaking every 5 rides?

Are bigger jetskis better than smaller ones. Is there anyone that if I don’t dog, do maintenance it will run or are they all problems?

My 17 year old Kawasaki STX-15F (that still feels "new" after all these years) hasn't needed a single repair. Zero.

I'd be making sure that pump is good still before it craters and shoves the crankshaft forward destroying the engine. The retrofit parts and just rebuilding the pump is probably good maintenance at this point
