Was working on a friends boat today and was thinking about all the different jet boats out there. Which one of the under 20ft. boats that I've seen is the best all around (price, performance, reliability). My choice is Wrightnow's 18ft. Calif. Performance. I've watched him tow his kids on inner tubes for two summers and then run the boat in the low 90's at night without changing a damn thing. The boat has a nice interior and the whole set up cost less than $20K! I doubt many folks could get the use he gets from his boat for that kind of price range. Yeah, some of the big motor/race set ups might be faster at night, but they can't run all day with the family in them and their motors cost more than his whole set up. Oh, no major repairs either.
WN, Wild Bill, Don and I all agree you have the best all around ski/river racer around. Hats off to ya. Just put it on the trailer at night from now on! J/K

Anyone else have stories of good all around small jet boat packages?
