    55mph is respectable. Some machines can go 67-75 with out modifications. And then of course modified can crank up into the 90's. Price is ok. Great to see watercraft content coming back. Fishing boats, ski boats, yachts, pontoons, and of course jet ski racing would be fun to see TFL get into. :)

      56 mph is more than enough. I'm not trying to break any records. Just cruising.

    Thanks for the informative Video, this Jet Ski Ultra 160 looks to be a good choice for someone that's not an adrenaline junkie such as myself, I'm a Retired (I will be 67 in May) Professional Wrench (Audi's are my Specialty). I purchased my first PWC 3 years ago, a used 2015 Sea Doo GTX iS 260 Limited with 54 Hours (now has 199 Hours). I personally don't believe that I would have been satisfied with a N/A (Normally Aspirated) Ski. My Sea Doo doesn't have a sound system, I don't miss having Music while Piloting around at 67 MPH (Speed Control Limited) or sliding it sideways and backwards, I'm having too much Fun to listen to Music other than hearing my 1503 cc Rotax 4 Tec Triple Engine and Supercharger making Music to my ears. I fortunately have the Mechanical Skill Set the good Lord Blessed me with and Tools to perform my own Maintenance, Repairs and Modifications. I keep hearing naysayers on the internet badmouthing Sea Doo Suspension Skis mostly because of additional complexity and technology? I find my Sea Doo with Suspension easier to work on than Audi's. Kawasaki, Yamaha and Sea Doo all make Great PWC's. Do the research and find the Ski that suits you best. BTW: less than a week ago a friend and myself took a 60+ mile excursion across galveston Bay, into the Texas Intracoastal Waterway heading West past Surfside and out into the Gulf of Mexico (jumping large Swells on the way out) about 6 Miles out to and around an Oil Rig, the Trip was a Blast, we stopped for Lunch in Surfside on the way back and to be sure we would make it back, I added an additional 5 Gallons of Gas to the 18.6 Gallon Tank which made it possible to select Sport Mode to fully unleash the 260 HP on tap during the return trip.

      @@CrochetNewsNetwork It honestly would be plenty for 98% of the people…. Canadian prices on the 160 are $1000 less then I paid for my 310 last year. So there’s no way I’m going to a 160 for the current pricing. The new ultra platform is fantastic and you can’t go wrong

    Great video dude! Just did a little bit of research, which makes me kinda want this. I’m not one to mess with the ocean BUT I read it takes about an hour to go to Catalina Island off the Coast of LA. And ferries usually travel at 43 MPH. This would be awesome to do. Again I have no experience being in the ocean but would love to experience this.
