Do all Jet Skis cause trouble?

Seems they look mighty suspicious.

Define trouble.
I think they do quite often, but my 'trouble' is maybe a bit on the environmentally friendly side.

Nice shot btw!

Well they are heading up stream where it gets very small and where people live on the boats to start ripping...

Cheers Peter,   just before they setup off they all waved to there drone.

It's not fair for 'all' the jetski owners, but I feel like a lot of them are not in for the environmental friendly way of travelling.

You're welcome!

Don't know. But if there's a road (a river) then there's traffic.

Certainly plenty of traffic recently.  

Such a craft cannot fail to stir up sediment in shallow waters.  Nice capture though.

Cheers Mr B,  just before they took off they waved at the drone so they must have seen me.

That's a reasonable assumption
Not a two-finger wave, I trust?

Great shot DA.    From what I see in my area most jet ski drivers tend to flaunt the no wake zones, etc and do tend to operate in a dangerous manner.   When I'm out on my Seadoo I get other jet skis blow by me like I'm sitting still and this is in a No Wake zone.  Just like some auto drivers seem to think that the laws weren't written for them but everybody else.  Don't get me wrong as there is a time and a safe place to go full throttle but not when it endangers others.

What's the difference though between a jet ski and seafood?

No,  they were polite.

Indeed they bearly do 8-10mpg when been driven nicely,  and of course no one uses it for travel,  just cruising about and ending where they started.

I recently noticed they are really big too.
(when overtaking one on a trailer)

I think it depends on the model,  I saw a huge three seater the other day,  but there are also much smaller single seaters about too.

Well, I don't know what type this was, but it was huge (it looked like a single seater)

Probably very fast then.

DAFlys Posted at 9-7 01:37

It did look like it.

Montfrooij Posted at 9-7 02:08

The water equivalent of a motor bike I guess.

Well, they serve a purpose some of the time. (getting from A to B)

A lot of people have them here to just to ride for fun.

Yes, I think that is most of them.

Just the brand name only.  

There like the biker gangs of the river so yeah I would assume there up to no good, but they sure are a lot of fun.

Now that was an epic autocorrect that I missed. :O

Never tried one Fred so I'll take your word for that.

DAFlys Posted at 9-8 00:20

We have one and while it is quite old it’s still very fast!

You got to love autocorrects.

I try not to love them to be honest.  they seem to do more harm than good these days.

Fred Fred Fred Posted at 9-8 09:41

Is it really bad a fuel economy Fred,  I read that they only do 5-10mpg.

For sure you have to be careful using that "feature".

Can’t really say for sure as we’ve only taken it out only twice and I have no knowledge of how many mpg it gets.

no worries,  I was just curious.
