Oh boy,you hit a sore subject here but JRC summed it up in a nushell.If your boat is bigger than the ones that complain then it's excessive.Now in my case,I have an 11 foot PWC but if some members here don't own one then that's excessive in another form.

Your PWC is 11 feet? Mine is only 10 feet. Great...now I have to get a newer bigger model.

Make sure your new PWC has a porta potty and transom shower like mine does, or else you'll still be eyeing the better model.

We've rented in a lakeside house the past two years on a small cove off Meredith Neck. It's a quiet location, with the occasional PWC or water skier, but much quiter than being on the main lake. I have a 17.5" duel console (Scout Dorado), that while on the small-side, I have not felt unsafe in. We looked at locations further North, but like being close to Meredith/Weirs and all they have to offer. If you really want quiet, chk out Squam.

I opted for the gas grille option in lieu of the transom shower. And I was torn in deciding whether I should go for the PS3 or the XBox360. How many does yours sleep ?

OK now you've done it. I am going shopping!
Actually, I had a conversation with Jim Whalley at HK Powersports last week. He has a couple PWCs for sale right now, that he is letting go well below book value. I won't be able to buy until spring, so I am going to have to wait it out. Can't wait to have the new porta-potty installed in the bow compartment!
