We have had this jet ski for two seasons now. My son and I did a lot of research before buying and have never looked back. It will do 63 MPH and get there faster than many bigger machines at twice the price. CONS, It may not be the smoothest on rough water and the hull is a little nose heavy while in a no wake zone but that is it. More PROS, it's easy to maintain and just does not break. The SXT15F even handled 15 foot seas with ease. If only a smooth ride on choppy water is important than look into a 260 or LK. Other wise save almost half on fuel and buy a 15f.
We do always flush only with SALT-AWAY (great product) and change the oil only with Kawasaki jet ski oil and don't forget the cover, but that's it. I would buy another STX-15F in a second.
Upgrades/Accessories: A factory cover and the most important accessory, Salt away. There are over 20 PWC's Docked where mine is. Only after one year the others show a lot of salt water damage. Mine looks like the day I dropped it in the water. I should have taken pics.
