Hello to all. I am an avid PWC'er contemplating making a jump from an I/O Bowrider to a jet boat. Thank you to all who contribute their time and knowledge to assist "newbies" like me.

Have fun with your adventure. Perhaps someone in your area will offer an afternoon to try their jetboat out and help you crystalize your thinking.

Welcome aboard! If you live in Northern Kentucky I'd be happy to have you ride on our boat.

Welcome! Lots of people make the jump from skis to jet boats! Ease of maintenance and lack of a spinning exposed prop are often cited as the primary reasons for going with a jet boat! Happy Hunting!

Welcome @vetplus40 I know that I'm a bit late to the party on welcoming you, but glad that you found us. I too made the switch from skis to jet boats and love it.
