balaormiga Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Ok. Next Spring/Summer I've been debating on purchasing either a quad or a PWC. I haven't selected any specific model. Just getting comments on which to purchase based on avauilable trails/water bodies etc.Any opinions are welcome..If you have a preferred model shout it out.

balaormiga Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 buy a ski boatA good ski boat would most likely be out of my price range.. though I've thought about a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I love Jet Skis. If youre close to lakes I would definitely get a pwc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 i would go with quad but that is just me........ im clost to the country and have alot of land to ride it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjascott Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 pwc's are fun,the two strokes are kinda of a pain to deal with, 2cycle oil and plugs foul out. 4strokes are less work but cost more to buy. I have owned several different skiis and the thing with them is you have to have two to have fun and if your like me my friends trash my shit plus the time available to ride is limited in ohio to about twelve weeks or so, for me I work during the week and have weekends off so that limits me to about 24 days avaliable now out of those days i have stuff around the house to do mow the lawn and what not so that cuts my days down to 12 it usually rains on the days I want to go out so truth be told I have $7500 wrapped up in two pwc's rode them 4 times this year. now I have to winterize them and store them. On the other hand my raptor I have been to wayne more times than I can count and I ride year round its actually pretty fun in the snow. With just about $3500 in my 4wheeler. It seems bang for your buck you get more frome the quad. I have a friend that is selling an 07 raptor(fuel injected) for like $3500 which is about a grand less than what they go for on craigslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being near a lake and not too far from the "country" leaves me in a dilemma. I do believe I would get more use from a quad. However the PWC would allow more of a family outing since you can get ones that seat 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 youll get more use out of a quad .+1 Jet skis are only good if you live near the ocean. Riding them on flat water is pretty lame and they can be expensive to maintain.You can ride a quad year round and the Wayne has great trails and lots of them.Get a quad.

Bad324 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'd say get a jet ski....but I'm biased because I have one and am only 20minutes from lake erie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that dude Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 neither. but i vote for quad. jet skis suck ass and are lame. buy a 250r or a 450r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 3 seated jet skis are no good fast but don't turn well. And who eve said I earlier. You have to get 2. Unless you have friends hat have them. I'd get a quad or a dirt bike. Then get stuff to supermoto the dirt bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 ski boat if you live near the water....it'd be worth itotherwise get a dirtbike. I had quads. Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thGix Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Not to be a follower but buy what your friends have if it doesnt matter which you have. My thoughts are that having either and riding it by yourself aint no fun. For the price of a new PWC you could get 2 nice but used 4 wheelers. One for you and the wife and one for the kid. Sounds like more fun than all packing on one PWC. Thats just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We each have our own and it is a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 like 20th said. Buy what you can afford to keep yourself entertained.You can't have just one ski. You can't depend on a buddy to buy one and wanna go riding either. For most toys, you need to be able to entertain your buddies if you want to actually enjoy it with friends. Look at most used toys for sale, 'my buddy sold his XXXX and now I never ride.'I have a few small dirtbikes and it has been worth every penny to keep them maintained so I can have friends or family over to play.My vote is for a quad. You can get more use out of one IMO and it's easier to go out solo and have a good time. Unless you live somewhere near a big lake to keep the ski and will get a lot of good use out of it.

RVTPilot Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 You can't attach a blade to a PWC and clear the driveway in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
