Stay far away from the jetski rubbish if you want a decent reliable boat.
The perfect first boat is about 3.6 -4 mtr , commodore 3.8 , and a 2 stage pump . Well set up it will pack any load you can fit in it and get close too 50 mph light. Motors are cheap as hell and idiot proof too and the pump will eat jetskis hole . (im running an LS1 on a 2 stage and getting 60mph @4800 if you wana go faster later on ).
Expect too pay 12 - 15 k for a good one and get someone from your local nzjba or your local jb shop too look first.

Thanks for that Mohawk just what I'm after. Can you give me an accurate estimate on costs or where the savings can be made. Eg 3.6-4m Ali hull, engine and jet unit, trailer, seats wheel etc.

I see you're in Hamilton, I'm up that way for the next couple weeks if you no of any where I can go to see some boats
