My brothers, myself and friends used to be into the jet ski thing when we were young but now its just lame and costs way too much to ride. The real shit is a wakeboard boat, its big money but thats the real fun on the water. Tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, etc... Thats WAY more fun than riding jet skis, uses less fuel and entertains more. Its about time for a new boat, the 23yr old runs great but the hull is showing some wear.
