Re: Crazy Jet-skier
Allot of the new PWC (jet ski is kawasaki's name and wave runner is yamaha's) are four strokes and are cleaner then many of your boats. they are also built tougher they can take one hell of a beating. The Yamaha FX-140 four stroke I ride can quieter then most of the boats you guys have. I am a responsible rider I don't chase boats to jump wake (becoming airborne in a pwc from another boats wake is illegal) I SLOW down to idle when I see some fisherman and I follow all navigational rules. The sad part is they only 1/10 of the pwc riders are like that. Most people think of them as toys that are nothing like real boats. Those are the people who cause most accidents on the waterways, most of the accidents are from lack of steering (YOU NEED FULL THROTTLE TO TURN SHARPLY) The others are from collisions with other boats and docking accidents. Only after an accident do people realize that PWC have more horsepower, go faster, and are more movable (with throttle) then regular boats... I know this makes no sense, I will add more info and pictures with cool graphics later
