I wound up purchasing the SeaDoo Explorer, a 2009 model. Took it to 40 feet and the battery compartment leaked. Called the distributor - he shipped me a new one asap. Will put it in the water next weekend, keeping my fingers crossed that this one doesn't leak as well. It is built pretty tough for the price - pulled me nicely through the water with doubles and a drysuit. I'm looking forward to trying it when it doesn't cut out every 45 seconds. Good customer service from the distributor - hopefully will have success on this next try.
I have a used Mako DPV in very good condition if you're still looking.
$900 firm. Includes battery charger, extra battery, Tekna handle, tow leash, & spare O-rings. Never flooded and been to 140' with no leaks or problems. Pick-up only in the Cleveland/Akron Ohio area.

Your Mako only has one handle? You must be required to attach it to you or can you cruise and steer with only one hand?
You said TEKNA handle, why did you modify it? (just wondering). I prefer one handed operation of a scooter over two handed anyday of the week. Sometimes I tether my Torpedo but mostly I just freestyle it.

Seeing as he said it includes a tow leash, pretty sure he rides it one handed after clipping it on. At least that's how I ride my Mako (a la Gavin).
A legitimate adventure has no predetermined outcome. - Chatterton
A flawlessly working rebreather is almost as dangerous as a completely unreliable unit since reliability encourages complacency. - Howard Hall stating the Richard Pyle Paradox
Decompression algorithms are akin to measuring with a micrometer, marking with chalk and cutting with an ax. - Rick Murchison
