Jet Skis... am I crazy?

[mardyn]

So did you have to quit your job just to have enough time to maintain all those vehicles? 3 boats... no fuckin thanks

Really just 2 -1/2 boats, one main ski boat, one race boat that's primarily a project/parts source and another older Sport/Ski boat that I'm in partners with my buddy... his boat & trailer & money with my engine & labor (& money).

I was in the marine biz for many years... it hard to get away from it once it's in your blood.

That's why the thought of getting another watercraft is so outrageous.... I can't even believe I'm considering it.

Maybe the urge will pass before I can act on it.

Jet ski + s/c

bro! get a stand up and i will get one. i always wanted one.

Can't remember... didn't they quit making the stand up ones for awhile? But it looks like they make them again now. Also looks like they got bigger. I'd want one of the smaller ones. Looks like they'd be more fun.

However, if you are buying them to drag to crazy busy "in-town" lake boat ramps every weekend and take the whole family out.... I'd pass.

I'm still looking for a lake that doesn't see very much use. Or at least, is a lake that just happens to be used somewhat less than most others. Know any like that?

Can't stand jet fleas.

Getting targeted by boats is less than ideal.

I own both and you must obey the law when it comes to right away no matter which vessel your using. Not sure what you mean by targeting

It's like dirtbikes and quads. There is just a level of disdain between the two. I get that you have to obey the law, but boaters tend to have a certain disdain for jet skiers.

Jet skis are a blast for about 30 minutes. After 30 mins you’ve done everything you will ever do on them. If you have a boat already and can afford jet skis too then go for it. If the choice is between the two, I vote boat.

Another reason I'd like to find a low usage lake.

Does seem like you could just go where there weren't any boats at the time though. Whoever is there first, the other guy should fuck off.

The euphoria of the "missed deal" is kinda' wearing off now and my common sense is coming back into play...

I think I'll rent a ski for a day to see if it's something I'd really enjoy or if the thrill is gone after a few quick blasts around the cove.

I appreciate everyone's opinions... I'll keep y'all posted as I continue along this path.

Super jet is my favorite OG badass but there are so many different skis for different things. What are you wanting to do with them?

[soap]

The new RxpX or RTX are sexy AF.

Possum Kingdom Lake is an awesome lake to Jetski and or boat on but then again I’m sure you probably already know that. There’s a place called Sam’s dock boat rentals and party barges. Phone number 940-779-3737. They have an awesome selection of pontoon boat and Jetskis. Great place to try one out because the lake is so big and diverse.
