Welcome to the forum. The 150 is a great boat, it will get you started so you can get comfortable with jet boats. You will be able to have a lot of recreation in the 150; such as cutting up in the boat (quick turning), skiiing, wakeboarding, tubing, etc.

I've had my 2007 for two years and have a lot of fun with it. These boats are great if your area is not too weedy. You must be careful in shallow places as to not suck stones into your impeller. This can cost about 400 Ca. to fix. (not warr.or insurable) BRP has been great with their warr. work as this spring my boats supercharger blew a ceramic washer and they replaced this at no charge to me (1800 bucks Ca.) and I was without my boat less than 2 weeks thanks to Gateway marine in Keen Ont. Ca. These boats are excellant handling and a lot of fun and easy to maintain. Buy new and get an extended warr. and you'll enjoy trouble free boating for a while. Ask your friends, neighbours and cottagers, about a good friendly dealership that will service your boat in your area.
