Just make sure you use the thing, the biggest problem people have with boats is from lack of use. We dont see it in our cars so much because there used pretty much daily but boats can sit there for 3mths if not more & the fuel goes off. If you know your not gonna use it for a while get a fresh tank of juice & use a fuel stabiliser. Have to use it before not after the fuel is stuffed. Also make sure it has a good water seperating filter because something as simple as a faulty tank vent or fuel cap can let water in. Any racor product is good. Also dont use e10 just asking for trouble!!!

Good luck & have fun.

Me and my old man went halves. It was $35000 Tow away ($17500 each). It's not classed as a wake boat as the hull is more 'jet boat' orientated, and it doesn't have onboard tanks to fill for a bigger wake. But we've already had a bladder made for the rear storage compartment and have a small pump for it so we can fill it at our descretion. I'm becoming more and more interested in the jetboating abilities of it, there are a lot of coastal canals, and islands within a 4 hour drive from here, like the whitsundays etc. A few more months of saving, and a surprise holiday with the missus, and the kids... This gives me time to park the car at PRE and CPV to get some more mods done.

My mate got one last year and he siad they're more fun that a house full of strippers!

Jamie, I recon we could stir up some of the canals on the goldie one time, pity we'd probably end up in more sh*t than it's worth, that and the bull sharks!!

Whats the go with XR6t's and towing? I remember reading that it's just not a good idea, it can be done, but it's not advised if the car is modded, is this true? Or general bullsh*t?
