You ever ridden a stand up?

Stock ones aren't speed machines but still a lot of fun. Throw a pipe/water box, stainless prop and re jet and you'll have a whole different animal.

yes, and a 550 couldn't even get me out of the water. i was about 220lbs then...

550s are the d15s of stand up jet skis

my buddy had a stand up a few years back. picked it up for like 250 bucks, there hard to ride.. now he has like a 12-1300 one of those.. site down though, rode it 2 weeks ago.. ****** is no joke, super super fast.. they only do like 60, but you dont wanna be going any faster than that on one.
hittin wakes at 55 can get scary.

Do they even make them 1000cc? I've never seen one that big. 750cc is fast enough for most people who aren't too fat to be on it in the first place. :P

Any problems you encounter can be solved on the pwc forums.
You would take a Kawasaki 550 over a super jet? That's like wanting a D15 over an LS/Vtec. :1
