having both I completely understand. I think overall owning/operating a boat is more of a headache/hassle than a jetski. If you run 2x pwcs the costs are probably similar to a boat in terms of gas mileage/maintenance costs at least in my experience. Both have pros and cons. That said, I get similar usage out of my boat vs pwcs but for entirely separate reasons…

Pretty darn similar. Sea Ray 270 Sundancer (much like yours but with the fixed rear deck), 6.2 Mercruiser with a Bravo 2 I believe. Not the fastest thing, but it moves pretty decent and keeps the rum cold.
91MR2 - Between schedules and weather, last summer was a pretty weak one for me, but it’s still worth it. There’s nothing better than a nice full sunny day on the boat.

Looking like it’s going to be a nice start to the summer:

yeah pretty close. With the single 5.7 I top out at 36mph wide open on gps, but usually cruise at about 23-24mph, plus pulls a tube fine. Having a fridge is def really nice, although if I have a big crew with me I might still bring a cooler. Occasionally I will stay overnight on it also.

I don’t have a fridge, but usually 2-3 coolers depending on the company, haha. I top out at 39-42 depending on the conditions, but like you said, that really doesn’t do much for me.
Here’s a good day out on the boat:

I would love a boat, but I have a pool and I can not get a DUI at my pool, on the way to the pool, or on my way home from the pool

@Onyx_Z32 Nice dude. Badass. Are these crazy fun or are you just not a stand up jetski guy? Educate me.
