Unless you have a lot of friends with jetskis, don't get one. They are fun once or twice by yourself, after that, they suck. A good cheap speedboat is perfect since you can take your buddies out for some beers and chicks can actually jump in with you. My in-laws had a cheap Bayliner and it was fine for what it was. They're kind of like a Chevy Impala, not too exciting and build quality is so-so, but it gets you around and looks decent. Plus an almost new one can be had for under $10K. If you want to pull any skiers, don't get anything less than a 4.3, the four-cylinders are kinda doggy if you've got an 18-19 footer with a few people in it.
