Made a purchase

Hope you're not planning on waterskiing behind it. Jet-boats suck *** for waterskiing. Having no propellor, you can pull the back end of the boat around almost as easily as behind a jetski. I bet you could drop the boat speed 10 mph+ with even a mild slalom pull.
Regardless, congrats on the purchase. At least you didn't buy a damn water mosquito. <_<

Good luck with it then, if you need any Mercruiser parts, let me know, and if you god forbid should smack it up, let me know as well.
Will do. Thanks.

Ok, rather, I hope you don't plan to get very good at waterskiing behind it.
If you're slaloming at 50 mph you're insane. I'm just saying if you're doing a normal 36 mph slalom run, carving it up behind the boat, it is going to take one *hell* of a driver (if it's even possible) to keep the boat straight and on-speed. Whereas my dad's old outboard which was a 140 hp, maxed out at 45 mph (with no skiier) would probably be a much better waterskiing boat (because it had a prop).
I'm a tournament skier, so I'm a little more nit-picky than most. Gotten a little too used to my friends' high-end ski boats. I'm sure for your purposes it will do just fine.
