Ski Boats
When wanting to buy a boat you have to know exactly what you want to buy it for. What will be the ultimate purpose when using it? A lake boat for instance won’t be good in salt water. A ski boat won’t do for fishing or cruising. So before choosing a ski boat you have to be sure that that’s what you want to use it for. These kinds of boats are specially manufactured so they can drag a water skier who is attached to a rope tied to the front of the drive motor. They have a high horsepower and very good acceleration. They have to have a very good trick-system, easy and safe maneuverability. A ski boat is tested by Water-ski Committee. There are a few rules that need to be followed when practicing this hobby. These boats have to be driven in deep water, starting five-six feet in depth, away from any obstacles. The ski-jet has to be well equipped. When purchasing this type of boat you need to consult a specialist. You can find cheap ski-jets and find out that they have no accessories attached. So be careful with the cheap ones. A well equipped ski boat has to have an under floor fuel tank, a sounder, very important, a GPS that will guide you through your way, a marine radio, a ski sole, a bait board, a boat cover, ballast tanks, mirrors, an automatic fire extinguisher. It has to drive and turn easily. Of course the seating are also a major criteria while choosing a ski boat. You have to be comfortable and enjoy the ride, not get all kinds of aches from the bad seats. If you buy this kind of ski boat you’ll have to take over 200,000 dollars out of you pocket.
If you are not a big amateur of adrenaline, you could go for the cheaper ones, which are not very well equipped, but also won’t drive very fast and won’t allow you to make very impressive tricks. These are ideal if you like to chill and work out while doing it. Doesn’t matter on what side of the boat you are, supposing you won’t buy a ski boat just to drive it.
You can choose between sizes from under 20 feet, up to over 40. You can find inflatable ones as well as racing ones. These cost between 2500 dollars (the smallest inflatable kind) and 300,000 dollars (a 40 feet long boat, well equipped).
Brands like Calabria, Lewis, Viking, Monza, Javelin, Millenium and many others are brands that made a name during time due to the competitions and ski tournaments that placed them in the top. You can also order custom-made <a href=”http://www.squidoo.com/ski-boats”>ski boats</a>; these will cost you more though.

How do I keep water out of my boat when it rains?
My small 14′ Bayliner constantly fills with water when it rains. Although I keep the cover on it when it’s not in use, water is constantly pooling up on it and leaking through.
The cover was purchased from Wal-Mart and it’s in good condition with no rips, tears or holes. I keep it tied down with bungee cords but it’s no use – the water still pools up. Also, the boat is stored with the plug out, but the carpets retain the water instead of letting it drain out. It just seems that every time I open up the boat, the carpets are moldy and soaked and it’s getting annoying.
I was wondering if anyone had any cheap and inexpensive ideas to keep water out of a boat during storage. I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
The wal-mart covers are good in ways and bad in ways. The good is that they are semipermeable meaning that when its sunny outside and the boat is covered, some sun will enter the boat allowing what moisture that was trapped under the cover to evaporate. The bad thing with this is that if light can shine through it, water can also get in. These covers are made with a low polyester count so they are not very water resistant. My cheap solution to you is buy a can of scotch guard, its a water repellent, and spray the whole cover with it, inside and out. Allow to dry. When you re-install the cover, do not stretch it too tight, the tighter its stretched the larger the pores in the fiber are. Instead, place a pole of some sort, piece of pvc pipe works good with a tennis ball, cut slit in ball stick on end of pipe, on the end touching the cover, in the front of the boat, one mid ways, and one towards the back. This will sorta make a dome tent that will allow the water to run off the boat and not puddle. Hope I have helped.
