I wanted to create a poll to determine how many jet skis you guys have? What is the perfect number?


I have always had two - one superjet and one SXR. It has been the perfect combination, I can carve or jump wake all in a days work. Over the years I have aquired more skis and they have some and go. Right now I have a Superjet, SXR 800 and SXR 1100. I notice that my SXR 800 never gets any use because I would always prefer riding the 1100. I am hesitant to sell my 800 because I like to keep it for my wife or friends to ride. The truth is - my wife doesnt really ride, and I dont really like letting my non-jetski owning friends to ride for free.
Three always seems like alot to haul to the lake, clean, and load/unload. The 800 ususally just ends up sitting in the garage all summer. Ive also had more than three at once, but then my garage is too crowded and I really never ride #3 & #4

I notice on here lots of guys seem to just have one really nice ski. I think that might be more ideal for the ocean - where you really only want to haul/ride one during the day. At the lake its nice to mix it up between carving and jumping - but maybe once nice A/M hull provides that for you?

I only NEED 2. But I just bought my 19th jet ski in 2 years so it's safe to say my needs have been taken care of..and then some

I have a blaster that I love riding , a x2 that's bone stock that I enjoy and a square nose I keep for friends to ride/girlfriends them my surf/main boat my aquabot that's coming . Each boat is different in it's own but I enjoy them all. Them I have 2sit downs that my dad rides
 
You've got to have a flatwater ski, a surf ski, a carving ski, a Blaster, and a couch for the friends who just can't balance a barge but you don't want them sinking any of your other skis.

That being said, I've only got a Brawler and a Blaster. Just picked up a GP1200 with a blown cyl and maybe next year I'll score an SXR 800.

I have somewhere around 15 skis right now. But most of them are for parts.

As far as personal skis go I own two. 2008 Superjet and a minty 1996 blaster. The blaster just sits in storage. My girlfriend and I share the same trailer and she has her own skis. I suppose if we had a bigger trailer I'd own more skis.
So I guess I have 2 skis and my girlfriend has 4 (I think)

Two is enough for me, I need my freeride ski and a backup but lately I've been wanting to grab another blaster for the woman.
 
I just got into the sport 2 years ago. Started with a new couch for the family and all I did was stand up all the time or sit on shore and watch others ride what I pay for:( . Last season got my first SJ. LOVE IT... No one rides it but me. Need to focus on basic skills and then some minor mods once I have the basics down. No need spending $$$ when you don't have the skills to exploit it. Last stand up I was on was a 1990 SN in 1992. Man is this a blast great community and great fun.

We have 2. My SJ and the wife's SXi. If one goes down we just take turns. I would like a real flat water ski but we don't go enough and I don't think my balls or bank account really justify one. I have been trying to talk the wife into upgrading to an SXR though. Ever since I got the SJ I really don't care for riding the SXi.
