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?
