I am kinda new to the "hot boat" scene. I have always been around and worked on boats, but nothing really exciting. Lots of boring crap though. Anyway, I'll get to it. I am considering a jet, and by looking at the hull on most of these things, they don't look as though they would handle anything more than a "smooth as glass" lake or river very well at all. I live in Minnesota, and alot of the lakes around my area tend to stay pretty busy. Will I have to constantly be worrying about eating a wake from anything bigger than a Bayliner? How do these things ride? Can you easily pull a skier or someone on a tube with a jet? Is there more or less maintanence needed on a boat like this as compared to a sterndrive or OB. Any help would be great. Thanks
