Being a current jet boat owner I have to chime in. What people say is true. Eats fuel (~ 40 gallons every 8-10 hours) hard to maintain speed, resale value sucks. When weighted to through a decent wake you loose valuable steering. If I had to do it over again I would have bought a V-drive. What initially influanced my buying dicision was lack of knowledge in regards to a good wakeboard boat. If you want a general family boat that you, or he, can have fun behind then go for it. If you want a good WAKEBOARD boat look elsewhere.
