However, how many 18' jets do you know that can seat 6 adults and still have room for a full size cooler, tube and skis?
Mine handles the chop very well, especially if I trim the diverter for the conditions.
As far as being from Wisconsin, that's where mine came from as well. The manufacturer's plate shows that it was made by Ski Boats of Wisconsin, which is also out of business.
Don't try to make the boat too fast. 70 is about the safe limit due to the hull design.
