Jetskis are fun, but they aren’t real practical. They get boring after a while. Its fun to load a bunch of friends on a boat with a cooler of beer and just head out on the river, anchor and just drink, bs and listen to the radio, something you cant really do on a jetski. Everyone I know from my marina that bought jetskis, used them maybe for the first two seasons, and then barely took them out again after that, they always take thier boats out. You cant pull anyone behind a jetski, and if something were to happen to it on the middle of the river, how comfortable would it be to have to just sit on it to wait for help, at least with a boat, if it breaks down, you will be alot safer and comfortable while ou wait for help
