Sell my jet ski and get this old, Fully restored Ski Supreme. Its like retarded immaculate and the Owners are friends of mine. His wife just died of cancer and he is slowly loosing his site to diabetes. So I am looking at the possibility of getting it from him, because he said he wont be using it much and he would want someone who would take care of it and use it, to have it.

i have no detailed pics of the interior but its pastel orange and bright yellow, has a brand new motor and its sooo super fun to skate behind.

gas is coming down

should i get this thing?

IMO If gas will never be an issue cause you never no when prices will go up I would get the boat. Good for w2w, i/o are super fun. It also depends were your riding in a skinny canal that needs a good turning radius or if your in shallow water hitting a flat rail that jet ski would be the way to go. In the end its up to you. We have a similar boat and you can fit more ppl than a ski and the wake is just perfect.

bump for more pics

soy- this boat is too classy for a tower. Id put a pole on it just for the practical side of the pull , but i would NEVER drill into that hull for any reason. Its too pretty.

POPTART, basically a ski is a ski

a boat is a boat

POPTART, thats a really nice boat looks like its in great condition. both a boat and a ski have their ups and downs, you just gotta see what you want more. if you've had the ski for a while maybe you should get the boat to switch it up a little bit. also your family guy quote at the end made me laugh so hard i loved that episode.

Pros and cons to both. I loved my 80's malibu, but on the other hand a ski is soooo damn convenient!

pw, my bro has a ski
so i can take it out when evs

so why not have a boat

MAJOR DRAW BACK

im serously OCD and i wont let anything happen to it , so that might not be as fun to go out on if im stressing over the way my boat is treated the entire time. i have a feeling that it might be a little much. But i also couldnt have a really expensive boat because id never let anyone drink, smoke, or have any food in it.

but i can overcome that for the sake pf having my fat bitches with meh

I dont owe anything on my ski either , but i just bought it last year.

id have to take out another loan wich is ultimately going to slow my process of buying a house.

pffffff

idk what to do

i just dont want to see him sell it to someone else.

hmmmm well . . . . . . . . What's the price of the boat ?

depends what you will be using it for an how deep your riding area is

I would pick getting a house and keeping the ski over buying the boat unless you can sell your ski to pay for the boat and still get your house

I had the same problem when I bought my boat I was trying to buy a house and also trying to decide between a ski and a boat I was able to buy the house wait a while and then buy the boat and picking the boat over the ski was probably the best decision I've ever made
