Do people use jetski's anymore?

Question

where can you use them? how much do they cost? what is the upkeep cost of them?

Answer 1

They have kinda gone out of fachine but they are still fun

Answer 2

I live on a lake. Trust me, they do. And if you want one, be aware of other people. *sigh* lol

Answer 3

I own one and use a lot.  I bought mine used for around $2500, but you can spend less or far more.  they are still around and quiet popular!  They are easy to use and quite fun.  I have other boats, so for me I use now and again - especially when it is hot out!  Upkeep can be model dependent and depends on how much you use.  This year I have not used mine as much as I have in the past for no particular reason.  The biggest expense is fuel.  Mine holds 13 gallons of gas and burns anywhere from 2-4 gallons per hour depending on how fast I am going.  I also have to but special oil for mine (which is a 2-stroke) that is about $100 a case, but 1 case could last you all season.  But, to put it simply, most these days are 4-cycle and they will not consume as much oil.  If you have any more questions feel free to let me know!

Answer 10

ive got one. mine cost me AU$12,000 but you can get them cheaper.

it costs me about 7 to 10 dollars to fill the tank and it lasts a weekend or two sometimes more.

i havent had to have it serviced yet but the say you should at 50 hours and 100 hours and so on.

i use it at the beach where i live - in a bay. sometimes i take it to the river.

oh and a service can range between 100 and 200 bucks

they are good fun and you can pick up second hand ones fairly cheep.
