Yeah, but I am anal. I usually spray it down with quick detailer, wipe the windows, etc. Plus loading stuff like beer.
I don't care with the ski.....just get on and go.
With a PWC you can shift around your body weight to turn better and launch yourself off wakes etc. I think the characteristics of a jet pump makes for better acceleration. Not to mention the lower weight helps them plane quicker. I've raced plenty of gofast powerboats in my junk 75hp ski and I can always out accelerate them to 40-45mph. Then a few seconds later they pass you by like your standing still.
For me, jet ski = cheap fun

they're never on time. be there at 11? 12:03 text message: hey I got caught up in traffic and had to run three days worth of errands, I'll be there soon. 12:30 response: soon as in now or soon as in you still haven't left yet?
I love my waverunners. They are like summer snowmobiles. I love going out for a BRAAAP early in the morning or after work when traffic is low. I will say however I couldnt ride one all day or have it as my only watercraft. Also I wouldnt use them nearly enough if they were not already in the water and ready.
This is my 94 Waveraider. Bought it years ago from my dads friend. It was sitting in a semi trailet behind his shop for years and years unused so it's pretty minty for its age. Had the carbs rebuilt. Runs awesome, not a single issue with it. Took it miles offshore Lake Michigan not giving a single fuck. It now sits at home on my floating lift on the Fox River. I got a new larger waverunner for Lake Michigan. This was downright sketchy with two people on it.
Lol if that things tippy imagine a waveblasters. That's a shortened version of your skiThis is my 94 Waveraider. Bought it years ago from my dads friend.

Dude I shit u not. Chicks asked me all the time to ride the thing, and I kept telling them it isnt for two people. I didnt want them taking it out on the big lake by themselves with the waves and weekend traffic. Told this one chick you might fall off so if you don't mind getting wet I will give you a ride. She jumps on the thing with all her weight on one side. THe waverunner flipped right the fuck over and we both fell in the water.
So I'm still on the market to buy a Spark. I've decided I want to get one with iBR (Intelligent Brakes & Reverse) mainly because it has all the necessary hardware for variable trim. There's still a few dealers that have leftover new 2015 units in stock that they are willing to take a few hundred off.
Anyone have good experience with any particular Sea Doo dealers? I went to RJ's in West Chicago earlier. He's local and I've bought some stuff from him in the past. He also charges a $399 dealer cost plus $40 for title which I think is pretty fair.
Another place called "Action Motorsports" in Waukesha wants to charge $640 +$40 reg
Then there is also Jim Potts in Woodstock that claims he'll beat anybody's price OTD by $300. You have to bring in a quote/sale order physically into his store and then I guess its till up to his digression.
Damn f me... that $4999 starting price turns into $7500 REALLY fast!

and you're so much better off just buying what you want instead of trying to be cheap and wishing you'd have spent the money.
