Thread: Pulling skiers AND riding rough harbours waters

    Hi Guys, (and Gals)
    I am looking to buy a jet boat however I have some specific requirements.
    A) it needs to be able to pull out 2 fairly heavy guys on single skies.
    B) be able to be smooth in Sydney Harbour (and YES, that is how you spell "Harbour" )
    Sydney Harbour has heaps of very rough days on account of ferries and swell that rolls in from open seas.
    I want to be able to tackle the swells and not have my back pounded 3 inches shorter and not pull back power all that much.
    I was thinking of Sugar Sands OASIS (with 250HP Optimax) however it may be a little underpowered for my needs.
    Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Are you thinking of using the boat for ski race training? Seems like a jet might not be the best choice for the harbor (yep,, that's how I spell it!). Fuel economy is going to be poor at best with a jet, unless you need it to race in a "jet" class, probably would do well to consider other boats.
