thanks EvanPark, thats a little pricey for me. i've found 2003s and 2004s for around 1500$ for the boat itself and i dont really need a brand new one. luckily my next door neighbor used to sell them in hawaii. Very Happy

Get a F-n jet ski, they are a lot more fun than boats

this might sound lame but im thinkin about buying a yamaha full size boat. i figured there just as nice as mastercrafts or nautiques on the inside and you get the jetski style wake, does anyone know anything about them.

ive thought about that before. sea doo makes the x20 thing. i think its smaller than the yamaha one you posted.

all i know is its hard to control speed on jet boats. but i still think it would be fun.

L.O.W PRIDE, Greg T, back when I first started riding my parents had an Eliminator jet, jetboats suck for wakesports, terrible speed control, gross wakes, and they go thru gas like nobodys buisness

thanks, i heard they have a perfect pass for those boats. i'm not sure though

L.O.W PRIDE, yeah, but it doesn't work real well, we were going to get one, but the guy at Perfect Pass talked us out of it, so we got a Malibu instead LOL
