First of all, what a neat forum!!
OK here we go: Bought a house on a canal off the Manatee river south of Tampa. I will be buying my first boat soon, and I really think I want a “jetboat”, a Yamaha more specifically. I have some questions for the group:
Thanks y’all
OK here we go: Bought a house on a canal off the Manatee river south of Tampa. I will be buying my first boat soon, and I really think I want a “jetboat”, a Yamaha more specifically. I have some questions for the group:
- My buddies in the area say ONLY buy an outboard boat. They tell me the Yamaha will suck up sand and jam up the impellers. I have seen quite a few Yamahas out there before though (seems like the younger generation is the typical user, Im 40)
- Is the ride “bumpy” (more so than a comparable boat) in small chop?
- Primarily my wife my two starter dogs and myself will use it. My wife loves the seat layout. Can the 21 hold a “day head” in the console or is it too small?
- We would like to go to cortez, lido and maybe Egmont.
- What is not a good reason to buy a jet boat?
Thanks y’all
