Took my new toy out today. SeaDoo GTX Ltd. Brilliant, especially in a 6 foot swell. Lots of airtime

the seaside does that to you.

Seriously, I never though I would get on anything with a saddle, but god the thing shifts. Different sort of thrill, but great fun notheless. I'd recommend any TVR driver to try it. Downside £50 of fuel in 2 hours

You'd love it if you tried it, yep dont ever do it, its too expensive, boring towing, have to travel to wales to use it or to an expensive lake, expensive to insure and register to use, expensive to launch and you end up buying far too many things to go with it.

And thats why i love it so much !!

I was wondering about doing this. Can you get one without a seat?

Yes the "stand up" ones, they are designed more about stunts / being more agile. go for size and then you have seats and lots more power.

Certainly can - they're the best kind! Personal preference is the Yamaha SuperJet. Although Polaris make a rapid one..

the next door neighbour has one. He has spent the thick end of £7K on engine repairs over the last 12 months
