Which one

I am new to this sport and 15 years old and was wondering which ski I should get. I will be riding mostly freestyle with some crusing and it will be in freshwater if that matters. I want it to be 2-seater and able to pull a wakeboarder/wakeskater if needed but probally want need to. I don't want a standup so don't suggest it. I would love to spend $1000-1500 is that a reasonable budget? Which model(s) would be the best buy and what years should I look at? I am thinking maybe a

Sea-Doo

XP

SPX

GSX

Yamaha

GP

Honda

R-12

R-12X

If this is posted in the wrong place please tell me where would be a better place to post it.

Most state require 3 seaters to tow, your not going to get much in the 1000-1500 range

or this http://www.pwctoday.com/viewtopic.php?p=594782#594782

or buy a stand up you get the most for the money in your price range.

I didn't really want to get a standup because we frequently take long trips to other parts of the lake to see family and friends and would like to be able to sit down on trips. But it looks like I might have to go with a stand up. I was going to try to find a ski and talk my parents into paying for half of it. How much would I have to spend to get a decent 2-seater?

Id say a decent 2 seater, maybe like $2000? I dont really know. get a stand up. Believe me ( all of us actually ) that once you get one, you wont regret it.

I was set on a 2 seater but now I don't know what i want. I am still leaning more towards a 2 seater but I am thinking about a standup. Plus I don't think my parents really want me to have a standup.
