    I have a small truck, so I'm probably looking at either a jet ski or one of those small Seadoo boats. I don't fish at all so that is not an issue for me.

    I fish some, but mainly use my boat to get to dive sites.....thus larger size is better for me.

    they say money doesn't buy happiness. Have you ever seen a sad person on a jet ski?

    boats and jet skis are money holes, the former much more than the latter. If anything can go wrong, it will. That being said, I loved growing up a water baby who learned to waterski behind a row boat with a 15 hp motor attached. If you're not looking to waterski or fish or entertain get a jetski (seadoo is the best). If you want to do those things though, a 17-20' searay multi-purpose type boat is what you'll want (at least 150 hp)

    My dad always had a Bayliner, so I'm aware of all the maintenance crap that goes along with it. Jet skis are fun as hell but I've found that they really wear my ass out the next couple of days. All I have is a regular cab Ranger with a V6. According to Ford I'm good for 2,500 pounds. So I figure I'm limited to a jet ski, or possibly this Speedster boat that Seadoo makes that supposedly has 215 hp, and weighs 2,100 pounds.

    you can ski/tube/wakeboard/kneeboard behind a jetski works just as well as behind a boat.
