SeaDoos
I would also hazard to guess that there is a greater percentage of boaters
who drink while operating than there are car drivers who do the same thing because it is basically part of the boating culture... In most cases, being slightly inebriated on the water is going to have a less serious effect than doing it on the pavement... "In most cases" is the problem. "In most cases" a drunk driver doesn't kill anyone, but there are still plenty of cases where they do. While boats are slower and there is more space between them, boats operate in an environments that are far less forgiving once trouble shows up. Just say no. On topic: I think a Sea Doo sport boat is a great first boat. They're simple, safe in reasonable conditions, and not hard to operate. A single engine model is probably easiest, but even dual engine models aren't hard to handle. Don't rule out the other brands like Sugar Sand and Yamaha. The one caution: The earlier and current smaller jet powered boats have very shallow, slap-happy hulls that are punishing in anything but smooth water. -- Rich Stern www.nitroowners.com - The Nitro and Tracker Owners Web Site www.mypontoon.com - The Pontoon Boat Web Site www.fishingreportdatabase.com - The Fishing Report Database www.mysporttrac.com - The Sport Trac Web Site |
