Not an owner, but a member of a 'part-ownership' scheme, which sees me out on the water as often as I can! Loving it so far, something quite liberating about going 50mph into a massive wave and almost falling off.
Where?Is it this? http://wavetime.co.uk/

I have one for sale, but I'm more of a RIB man myself.
What's Wavetime like? Seems like a pretty good scheme. We run a similar scheme here with RIB's but you actually own a share of the boat. We've only just started the scheme but seems to be going well. I'd consider the Wavetime thing myself if I lived closer to Poole. Do you get much use out of it over the winter? My RIB gets put to bed over the winter, too cold for me!

I've only been doing it for a couple of months, so I'm getting as much use as I can out of it at the moment. It's a pretty good deal when you consider your own personal costs etc. There has only been one time so far where I haven't been able to get one booked out at a time I wanted so that side of things is good.What's Wavetime like?

I can envisage using it a bit over the winter, but it'll only be on those odd sunny days I would imagine!
The main reason I signed up for it was to see how much use I would get out of it, or if it just turns out to be one of the blokey fads, that we lose interest with after a few weeks! If I'm still using it a lot next summer, I might look at buying one, or investing in a proper boat/rib.
BTW there is a company down here doing the same thing with a rib for about £300 per month, something I would definitely do if I had a family to take it out with.
I too could help form the USA wing of the club 
Sarasota - We have 2 Yamaha 1400's which have 165hp each and 500ft/lbs thrust iirc
Awesome fun, especially the day before the hurricane arrives - Biggest I have been out in is 10-12ft waves, And in hindsight pretty stupid, Brown trouser fun, but very stupid
