The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I'm considering buying a 1997 Jazz as a family runabout/skiing/tubing boat. The price is $4500. What do you all think? Are they good boats? Any known issues with them? Thanks.
remember with a jet, you loose 30-40 % horsepower because of the ineffiecency of the jet drive, compared to a prop driven boat. jet 200 hp = 140hp out the drive, propped 200hp = 200hp at the prop. thus you are going to burn more of that $3.25 a gallon gas. to achieve the same speed and power.
i agree, it's ashame your not in North Carolina, Gary H NC, just put his starcraft on ebay, will sell just in your price range. just take a look for kicks, ebay # 250120383194
those boats are ok with just 2 or 3 people, they don't ride very good either. that 120 sportjet is a 2 stroke and it will burn a tank a day easily. the pulling power is low and unless you get the weight in the boat just right, it takes awhile to get on plane when pulling a skier. they are great for low water lakes and rivers, a 17 to 18 ft with a v-6 is usually the best way to start out
i am new to boating and bought a 93 bayliner jazz with a 90 motor
