The yearly cost for that was under a grand, which I thought was short money to pick up in spring, use it all summer without issue, and return it in fall without having to think about anything else but having fun.
I do the same with my pontoon with Melvin Village Marina.
To me, getting into an activity means having the money to enjoy it without worrying about the money.

I agree, I had Sea-Doos also, no issues other than the ones self-inflicted. Sea-Doos also have enclosed cooling system with antifreeze running thru the motor, which is more benificial for ocean use. You can't really go wrong with either one in the lake, Yamaha makes a great ski also.
Personally, I would stay away from the supercharged models, they require more maintenance, and you can get a non-supercharge model that will do 60mph plus.
I had one of each and I had just as much fun on the one that went 60, plus I felt more stress when my grandson was out on the supercharged sea-doo which did 75mph!
