It's cool if y'all don't have anything to add, but how'sabout just leaving it be?

There have been a couple posts in the last few months that have mentioned not wanting to be part of this forum any longer because of what threads devolve into.

Add those to the number of private messages I get from people who don't want to deal with posts/people like above, and it's clear many members are tired of it.

Please, just answer the question--be part of the solution--or go/stay away.

I think what people may be tired of is that it seems like you have made about 10,000 posts over the past year about buying one jet ski. I know that is an exaggeration but it seems like that many. Perhaps a little excessive.

Yeah, maybe you're right--being in the north, and more than likely not heading out on super busy weekends (for those, we'll take Boatie Two), we would probably be ok with either. Being new to the game, though, I'm not all that familiar with stability vs. tracking vs. "playfulness," etc. especially with passengers, and it appears there may be a significant difference between the hulls in those regards.

Like someone else once said, you need to get a life. Like, for real, how sad is your life that your researching mine?

That being said, that thread was a good one but didn't address the hull difference because, at the time, there wasn't (and still isn't) much discussion about how close the new GTI's is to the GTX.

Thanks for creeping, though!

I wonder if he ever ended up buying that SeaDoo 9 years from now.



I'll be honest...that's officially a lot of threads.

If you keep searching, you'll find even more!

No apologies--I've learned a ton about what I'm getting into, while having fun doing it. A great way to pass the time in the off-season!

It's all good man. I'm just having a little fun.

While I think it's crazy if there are 5 or more threads out there about this, I do hope you are completely satisfied with whichever ride you decide to go with...even if it is by the year 2029

I get your tone, no worries. Just note that the threads are all different: accessories for Christmas (which had great suggestions I would've never thought about) vs. hull design vs. brand reliability, etc.

I don't see that as crazy at all, especially for someone just getting into an activity, but for some reason a few of the members here do.

In fact, I'm confident that if I'd had one thread titled, "New Jetski Advice on Reliability, Hull Design, Features, and Christmas Gift Ideas," the first response would've been something about asking too much in one thread. It's always the same people.

Cheers!

Maybe you can drive all the snowmobiler's crazy on their forums trying to decide what sled to buy for something else to do in the "off season," instead of beating this dead horse!!! 2 stroke, 4 stroke, liquid cooled, air cooled, heated seat, non heated seat, etc, etc, etc, lots of choices... you could probably tie up those threads for years!!

The thing is, you're driving yourself crazy. Most everyone else just scrolls on past or actually provides things to think about.

I'll be looking for advice on jetski anchors, maintenance, storage, and food suggestions for long outings soon--I look forward to your panties getting bunched up on those threads!
