The boat runs great and its in amazing condition for an 88. The vinyl looks great, the engine like I said is brand new and still in break in period. The trailor looks great with all pretty much new tires. I took pictures of it just don’t have a memory stick reader with me. > > I am kinda leaning towards the no on this purchase. I want something to be on the water and maybe for right now I just go with a jetski. This way its portable enough to take it to the river or up to the island house. Granted I can’t take out all my friends but I would just encourage them to buy one as well. Going to think about it over the weekend. thanks for all the info! 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 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-people-with-boats/191839)._
