I should add my uncle has a boat with a 25hp Johnson It is around 15 to 20'. I haven't been on it In a long time but I remember us almost running out of gas in the middle of the lake. We barely made it in.

In my younger days, I owned ski boats and several PWC'S.The best riding PWC (in my opinion) was the seadoo. Only craft I own now is a Triton fishing boat

I agree with that. Seadoo seams like the best to me. Those Kawasaki standup jetskis are a lot of fun..if you can stay on them without falling.

I'm sure you take real good care of it, blowing the cobwebs out of it and run fresh gas though it!

Yep, have to make sure it is seaworthy at all time. :drink:

I have a 1990 Sea ray laguna CC 18.5', She aint new, but floats good and runs great for her age. I have added the Humminbird 798Disi and a GFX1700 radio and that is about it.

When I was younger I like fishing for" Green carp/ Ditch pickles" (Black bass) and had 16-18 bass boats, then once got into the 35' lake boat "thang". Now I enjoy Hybrid striper/striper fishing mostly so the SeaRay is perfect for that. If/when I get some debt paid off, we may spring for a new CC boat.

I'm fifty four and have a pair of Sea Doo's, I get on one and ride like I'm twenty, the next day I feel like I'm eighty.:cool2:

2004 MasterCraft VRS210 and a picture of what we usually do with it. My youngest son wakesurfing behind it. Last picture is a little Sea Nymph we picked up from the neighbors. I was more interested in the trailer, but the boat came along for the ride.

That summed up just about every ride I've been on in one sentence.

I started riding PWC in the mid 80's when a couch was a rarity and I think "seadoo" was still only making snowmobiles.

The two 3 person machines I have are mostly for guests and to waterski behind. To me, going out for a day on a sitdown is boring unless I'm just going into a new area and want to site see. I MUCH prefer the challenge and action of a standup. The main reason standups fell from popularity was because they have to be light and the 2 stroke is pretty much a thing of the past in it's simplest form. The other reason is that it actually takes skill to ride one. There is a learning curve and most people are not interested in investing the time to learn, they would rather just sit there, squeeze the throttle and ride fast. Plus, they can't ride a standup and hold their beer at the same time.

AroniaFarmer - the Wellcraft has a 200 hp Johnson OceanPro 2 stroke. It is the one that came on the boat.
