I've run one around the lake a few times, I jumped a few wakes, did some rad 360's and all but after about 30 minutes of it I was done having my fun. Seems like it would get old real quick yet people just run around the lake all day on them.

I don't get it either. But I'm an old. They seem more like attention getters to me. Just listen to them and replace the motor sound with ....heyyyyyyeeeeyyyyyyyeeeyyyyyyeee....looooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.....attttttttttttttttttttttttt......meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That's different, but he could have bought a boat for all the money he put into that thing.

They're loads of fun, as mentioned, for about 30 minutes...

Even as a kid, I got over jet skiing in one outing.



A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Thats why I rent them, do my best to destroy the engine, get tired and turn it back in.

I'd rather listen to the sound of them hitting the stump than the jetski itself. grin roflmao

I dont have a jet ski but did when we had a lake house. They are more fun than just riding around in a boat.

Wouldn't it kinda be like....what's so fun about riding a motorcycle? I mean you just ride on the same streets you do with a car except it sucks when it rains and bugs hit you in the face.

We used to ride these as kids, took a little skill and flat wore us out after riding all day

x2, essentially the same thing - useless noise, uncomfortable, lots of "look at me" appeal

I saw 2 wave runners on the lake this week, both of them looked bored, both were outfitted with good speakers, and both were wanting everyone in the marina to listen to what they were playing. Kind of a competition between the two of them until a wake boat came by and drowned both of them out. Haha whip

I imagine its only a matter of time that noise will be enforced on boats like they do with vehicles.


Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart
