I am sure I am in the minority here, but jet ski's get old after about 1 hour. All you can do is jump waves, no hills to climb, rocks to go over, or mud to get stuck in. For the water, I would much rather have a Mastercraft and go skiing![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] That said, someday I might get a jet ski again, but just for people to ride when they visit me.

Catterman,
Have you ever tubed behind a jetski it is way funner than a boat and it goes faster you can pull anythang with a jet ski that you can pull with a boat and because a foot isnt in the water it dosent drag and eventually mess it up. Not trying to sound mean or anythang.

I have done a lot of tubing and waterskiing behind a jetski. I don't think it is nearly as fun. Skiing it is too light and I can move the back end around when I cut, and for tubing it doesn't give a big enough wake, that is where the fun is! Once again, that is just my opinion.

i havent ridden it, but a guy i work with has last years model....1300cc supercharged.....he said its real fast, maybe does 60.....but he also says it gets 5mpg. that gets expensive when gas at marinas can be 2.50/gal. hes tipped it over twice, and hes an older guy....never did any damage though. still seems to run ok. i almost think id rather get a boat, that way you can hook up a barbeque, beer cooler, and invite some girls out.
