My son just bought TWO Seadoos from his girlfriend's father!

Where have I gone wrong?

Used responsibly they are a lot of fun.
Trouble is most owners appear to be lacking a substantial quantity of
grey matter.

Perhaps, but I think the chief issue is that jet ski buyers generally get no
education about waterway rules, etc. Many don't consider themselves to be
boaters, rather just assholes with water toys. They ignore no-wake rules,
etc., until someone yells at them. Then they flip the shouter off and
continue their undesirable behavior until they get yelled at repeatedly and
the lesson begins to sink in. Ultimately most of them begin to ask
questions about what's right and what's not. Only the true idiots continue,
oblivious to boating rules.
