Another interesting resource for general boating is The Hull Truth. They have a wealth of knowledge on boats, but mostly bigger cruisers. There are a few there that turn their nose up at Jet Boats, so don't expect a warm welcome from them when it comes to Jets....but that is true for many cruiser sites.

At some point, a bandwagon of them criticized the bimini trip. They think of them as oversized jet skis, not a true boat. I have no idea why so many of them have such a snotty attitude about the Yamahas, a good chunk of them have boats smaller and cheaper than ours.
