So huge dilemma in my life atm... i need you guys to help me make a decision! im planning out my summer and trying to figure whats the best way to use my money to make sure i get asmuch shredding in as possible! so here goes...

Option 1: buy this seadoo 1999 for $2500 off craigslist... and pay for gas everytime i ride (whats fuel consumption on those things anyway?)

Option 2: get a Ranch cable seasons pass for $500 and pay $13 everytime i go for transit there...

I have my big boat and my winch but winch is a bit of a mission sometimes even though i love winching and my boat merks gas... HELP ME!!

cable pass is a better deal for your money. You dont have to rely on anyone to ride with, no maintenance fees, no gas fees, ect... but also it gets kinda of boring after riding the same cable multiple times. I cant do it, but I know of A LOT of people who can and enjoy the hell out of it. Also it kind of depends on what kind of obstacles your cable park has to offer! My only experience with cables is Rixen in south Florida and it gets very boring... but if I had CWC at my finger tips every morning... thats a whole other ball game! <3 Hope that helps. Good luck with your decision!

if you definitely have people to ride with, I'd get the ski. if you have a hard time finding seconds or thirds, the cable pass might make more sense at this point. One other expense with that ski will be insurance also (just an added "something" to consider). either way, both will be fun. Cool

QFT. I usually get away with about 15 bucks in my ski for two 45 min sets or so.

dude
get the ski and take it around the country this summer. the cable might get stale after a while but with the ski you can hit a bunch of gnar spots
