Depends what you want to do with it & where? Fishing, playing, family boating, whitewater, adventure boating, hunting, water skiing, etc? A lot of people naively end up buying the wrong sort for what they want to use it for, I'd also strongly suggest you join Jetboating NZ & do there new boaters program & go on a few club runs, at least until you get a bit of experience.

Jet Boating New Zealand check out the forum, there's a section on project builds, etc

And lastly learn the river rules! It's not nice when some idiot who doesn't know them comes barreling at you on the wrong side or doesn't give way!

Are they the same as international boating rules IE pass port to port?

Yes, stay right in the channel your in, boats heading upstream give way to boats coming down stream, powered boats give way to all unpowered craft
