Opinions on jet boats

Yamaha has certainly been the powerhouse for a long time. I believe Seadoo got out of jet boats, but they provide the power for Chapparal and Scarab boats. I don't think you can go wrong with Yamaha or Chapparal. I don't know enough about the Scarabs, but their offerings are pretty minimal as far as different models. Both Yamaha and Chapparal have multiple models, more than I actually knew about until taking a look.

I have toyed with the idea of getting one as my next boat. I think it will end up being a pontoon but I would have no issues buying one.
