Default be cautious....

Also, no matter what machine you buy, always be careful of docklines. Your machine will suck them up and get wrapped around the impeller...quite a mess.

I would like to reccomend that you purchase a lift with the PWC. I have found that PWC's and docks and lines do not mix well. You could build a ramp with a winch or purchase a lift to take the PWC out of the water. This will prevent corrosion in the jet and save it from scratches and dings from heavy weather at the dock.

You will be able to experience the lake in a whole different way on a PWC. I ended up going places that I havent ventured in years in my power boat. They are very economical to run and fun on a hot summers day.

As always on the big lake, watch the weather and bring a change of clothes. You will get wet...
