Best of Boating is a good site if boats or jet-skis are on your gear
list this summer. There isn’t a whole lot of information on the site, but the little it does provide in gear, gadgets, boat
reviews, and good getaways are all pretty decent. They’ve also got a tiny little read originally found
in Watercraft World magazine on the Watercraft of the Year. (Note: I can totally see sparks flying as Dad unwraps
this one on father’s day, but even if you can’t work the watercraft of the year into your budget at least take him for
a spin on one.)
The Yamaha VX 110 Deluxe is supposed to be one of the most affordable
full-featured, four-stroke powered watercraft pricing out at a nice $7,700. Ride comfortably with three
persons or tow along a wakeboarder or skier as the Deluxe has the power to do so. Sounds like a good first time
but if you haven’t purchased a summer water ride before, but take a look at some of the other features and if you want
to save more they’ve got other suggestions as well.
