NK, that's a little more boat than I am looking for. I want to stay with something under/ up to 18' and under $10K.

I agree with all the above threads. Checking fluids regularly (and any filters) is more important than people think. It may save a rebuild down the road!

If you take me out in it along with you........it would be called a submarine :p not a jet boat! :evilb:

Yeah but at least your head would be sticking up above the water like a periscope!:drink:

You realize this is your fault. I want to run in the JetSki poker runs too! (You and me on Jetskis would look like an elephant and an ostrich on tricycles!:eek: )

Well.....I also want something to leave at Mom & Dad's since I can't pull a big boat in.

The 4 strokes sound ideal. But are they available on a 2000 ish model year - or only 2 stroke?

Also, any other comments on the 2 strokes?

I'm might pick one up also...

Thanks, Mark

As they say: Buy your 2nd boat first. The learning curve is so steep, even if you've owned boats before, you might get bored / frustrated with a 2-stroke quickly. I'd go for the 4-stroke for the extra $ with a little extra length and a few more amenities. The worst thing is having to climb around the engine compartment tearing apart a 2-stroke while everyone else is out on the water. Trust me on this.

Thats what I'm concerned with. 2-stroke motocross bikes took a lot of work.
