Hope ya'll are wrong about the next generation going to let it die. I don't know, I mean just about any boater who is a die hard boater loves a short cockpit with a long deck speed boat. It's SeeeeEEEEXxY 
(in my best fat bastard from Austin Powers voice). Sexy never dies, and if it does then count me out anyways, don't want to be around for that chit. 
They sure don't seem to be getting any cheaper, so demand must still be there. And driving slow boats still sucks so I think prospects for the sport still looking pretty good.

I was riding up Fort Myers Beach yesterday and caught a glance of a roughly 26' twin jet center console at the boat dealer, maybe Yamaha.

I had a older SeaDoo twin 2 stroke carb jet, got rid of the safety so I could go from forward to reverse without touching the throttles. Loved doing the jet ski spin out 180's. The thing was a blast but I had to work on that thing more then my big boat and those little engines where buried.
Now the second boat is a Key West DC with a 150 Yamaha 4 stroke, gas and go.

I get the notion but there are toons that will outrun an old school flat-bottom and every seat is a lazy-boy..... if you are contemplating getting out of the offshore V's you are already picking and choosing the days you are going out in the boat already in terms of "ideal" conditions

Them #6 supercharged boats are fun but last summer I ran a 19' jet boat and had just as much fun if not more nd spend a 1/3 of the money on gas and breakdown (because there were none)
Pretty stress free.
Liked it so much we upgraded , I can see the advantage of egg beaters ( I think theyre reliable right?) especially not haviing to fit into a bilge. These Yamaha motors in the jet boats are pretty bullet proof.
