What I love about my tritoon is that it's practically maintenance-free and has lots of space and we have a great resource in Melvin Village.
Someone in my association bought a 27' jet boat last summer—can't recall the brand—but he said he loves it.

So: does a 20' jet boat exist that might be lower maintenance than an inboard/stern drive/standard fiberglass but also has decent space? Our Harris is going into its 7th summer, so I'm beginning to think about what might be next.

I’m not a jet boat fan. They don’t steer/dock as well, take more power for the same output, last less hours and fuel consumption is high.

In fact, the first point is so true I stay far away from the Yamaha boats at the docks. Had 3 close calls this year, all Yamaha jet boats.
