Nice,
what's the road tax like on one of them ;o)
 
Oooohhh very nice, bet thats fun!!!!

Sure is, i have been jet skiing for about 10 years, have had many skis over the years but always had yams as they are the most reliable and efficient, also the best made!

I was going to go for the yamaha FX SHO which is the supercharged version and has 220bhp, but it isnt that much quicker and i will be using this mainly on the south coast (on the channel).

My parents live on the isle of wight so i have left it down their and use it when i go down, i could get to france in 1-2 hours lol.

Although it gets quite scary out at sea, you go a few miles out and all of a sudden your jumping 10-15ft waves.
 
some scary **** dazmo!!!Looks great.Scares the crap out of me though

Yeah it is mate but also extremely fun as long as your careful and keep your eyes open for whats around you, i also have flares,mobile phone and plenty of emergency equipment.

I went right up to an oil tanker once, i was litterally 10 meters from the side of it and i went all the way around it, absolutely massive things!

You're an echo of me (prefer Kawasaki) and the sea is a completely different environment on one of these than on even a small boat. Can't claim to have crawled round an oil tanker though - a ferry, yes lol.

Have fun, stay safe and take the filter out the aqua-jet, they go faster lol.
 
WOW!!

Mate that looks awesome!!!

A neighbour of mine had one a while ago, dont know what he was going to do with it, living in the centre of Brum!! LOL

Would love to give jet skiing a blast!
 
Nice man Very Nice.. I used to ride a Seadoo Bombardier when i was in the forces, now you got me wanting another after looking at that little beauty.
 
Always been interested in getting one! How much does a working used sit-down one cost?

All depends what you want, plenty of models, you can pick up a 2009 yamaha fx ho with little hours on the clockfor up for £8000-£9000

Or if you want new your looking at £14,000-16,000k
 
Niiiice! :cool:

I'd take half an hour on a jetski over going to the gym any day of the week! Proper work out! You tried the 255bhp monster that is the Seadoo RXP-X? A mate of mine has one. It's an absolute ANIMAL! :scared2:
