so we have just brought the jetski and are picking it up friday in time for the weekend, does anybody have any experience of one of these? i have no idea what they are like on fuel or how quick it is, called the bloke and he reckons it'll do 70mph but that seems a bit fast across the water, if any of you are in poole on saturday be sure to message me and pop down for a burn on it though :)

This vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feK1stsNsic

Shows one doing 69 flat out but dunno if that's knots or mph. If its knots then its nearer 80mph

Whatever you do ALWAYS make sure you are wearing the kill switch corde!!

I have grown up using many water power related machines (boats, jet skis, T850 series etc etc) and you have to bare in mind that 40knots in the water is a lot if you come off it!! It will be almost like hitting something solid and it will hurt!

If you carry passengers make sure they also wear a lifejacket and by that I mean a proper one that will keep them floating if they are knocked out by a fall.

You will be able to ringo and waterski easily with this one. Make sure you wash it with tap water after use as salt will eat rubbers, impelers etc.

Have fun and stay safe! Like bikes they can be leathal!! :)

And make sure you know what the "divers" flag looks like. I know people who've had near misses with muppets with more money than sense on these things. Don't be one of the c*cks.
