i had a jetski in college and a friend had a pontoon boat. Believe me, we had WAY more fun on that old pontoon boat.
I hear yeah, but I would just about shoot myself if i couldnt go fast. small, cheap,fast is the magic combo here.

Really? What the name of the company. I alway wanted a place to look around when im home. No one in this part of jersey likes fast boats.

No company just a big detached garage that over the years of buying, selling and redoing. Somehow you always wind up with piles of parts.

It is private. If you pic something up pm me and I will see what I have good luck to you but again I would really think this before buying. I have to get back so to work talk to you later.

Coming from a Mini-Hawk owner...

For what YOU are looking to do, and have fun with... get a PWC instead.

A MH is a toy. It's not a primary boat. We have a LOT of fun with mine, but we just use it as a toy.
