a hell of alot cheaper

Seriously don't buy one, after an hour or two on it you'll be bored stupid not to mention about £25 an hour on petrol. they really do get boring and i've spoke to a load of guys who are ready for off loading theirs. My advice would be to buy a boat instead, far more craic and you can chill out on the water and open a beer and throw the feet up.

Jet skiing - the nautical version of joyriding, but without the excuse of social disadvantage.

illdecide is right. You'll get bored in no time, even if there are a few of youse have them. Is it for the sea or lakes mainly? If lakes, get a speedboat and a set of skis/wakeboard, far better craic, and you can fill the boat too. Its a great way to spend the summer days...

live beside loughneagh,alot of my friends have jet ski's and i am never off them and think it's about time i got my own instead of hogin my mates and i am always worried about damaging them.i would only be going out twice a week at most so i wont get that bored.

i think they are great.  nothing like going for a spin in the sea on a warm evening to cool off!

I just think youd be far better buying a speedboat. I used to think jetskis were great, but once you spend any time on them you realise theres not that much to do. You open them out, do a few donuts, soak your mates and thats it - all done in 15 min. You cant even race, cos its just about the fastest jetski - its like having a motorbike on a motorway. With a boat you'll be straight into waterskiing/wakeboarding, and then in no time at all you'll be like the rest of us and resent jetskiiers cos the only way they can get any thrills is to follow your boat and jump the wake it makes (thus nearly running over the person you are pulling).

There is no adjectives in the English language (or Irish) strong enough to describe my hatred of peoples who use these big boys toys. No regard for swimmers or anybody, fit only for the useless fat rednecks that ride them, cause quite frankly its the only way these boys would get any sort of a ride .
