I'm with you stinky ;D
the lake I use to work on was ruined by jet skis( iI refuse to call them boats), they would take over the ramp and pull wake boards thru the no wake zone. they followed every boat going out jumping their wakes. they used to get pi$$ed when I would run up behind them and jump their wakes with a 20 ft ski boat. At lake Tillery in NC, the land owners are pitted against each other because of the skis, from sun up to sun down, all you here on that lake are skis constantly running. you either have one or you hate them. Down here on the coast, they arn't too bad. I have seen them pull dock start skiers off the docks at the ramps, and they allways seem to practice driving in circles just close enough to the boat I'm working on to keep it rocking. Sooner or later they end up in an oyster bed "ouch". Yes I know they are not all bad, it just seems that the bad apples are drawn to jet skis. A friend of mine told me once that ridding a snow mobile in a safe and responsible manner is broing as watching snow melt, but cutting a fool on one is a blast. I guess it goes with jet skis as well, driving one around in a safe and responsible manner gets boring. But you know if i drove my V like some jet ski drivers do, I would get a ticket for unsafe operaton. I saw a ski at the boat show a couple of years ago that had a booming stereo on it(big 12" woofers), i walked up to the sales man with several customers around and told him I didn't think you could make jet ski any more annoying, but by putting a loud stereo on it, you did.
