I am interested in a powerboat for the family. This will be used for
running around the Chesapeake bay in Maryland, skiing, tubing, and day
trips.

I really like the new Yamaha SR230 jet boat but I am not sure whether that
would be a good choice for the bay waters. Is a jet boat still an option in
rougher waters like that of the Chesapeake bay and will it be a decent
performer in the salt water? This seems to be such a great boat with nice
seating and a decent size.

Any advice or things to think about?

A little more info would be nice. The difference between Annapolis and
Havre de Grace or the C&D canal (all in MD) is astounding. If you're
near the Solomons, the rules are entirely different than all the above.

In other words, WHERE in MD?

Yes, we're sailboaters, but we raft up with a bunch of powerboats many
weekends.
