[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 424874, member: 21552"] Will be buying a used boat to use on the river near me, my car will tow 1,000 lbs, I don't mind stretching that a little as I have a short 1/2 or 2 mile ride on flat lad to the ramps nearest me. I confess to loving speed, so the faster the better. I know with my weight limitation I'm looking at something 10'-16' long most likely aluminum with 15-40 HP. The only way around that would be for me to buy a modded out jet boat with a seadoo engine. I need a seat with back rest for me but don't mind if it's tiller or console steering. I'm considering a jet ski but not having a backrest is a major drawback and most likely a deal killer, so unless you have a compelling argument for a ski that option is most likely out. I prefer 4S but would not turn down a good condition 2S. Anyone else use a rear wheel drive car to tow and drop in at the ramp? I don't want to have to add a hitch to my AWD car if I can help it. So what brand is the fastest and would you prefer all weld over rivets, I'm leaning that direction. [/QUOTE]
