I went riding today and as I was pulling past Hanuama Bay I saw a guy on a jetski. He was coming around from portlock and I saw him zooming really fast all the way past blowhole and wasn't turning back when I lost sight of him. The tank can't be very big...how far could he go with a tank?
 
I've done some jet skiing across lakes, I'm pretty sure they have a very good range.
 
I just hope it wasn't a tourist off on a joy ride with a quarter of a tank :wink:
 
I used to have a 75-100 mile range on my old Waverunner with 2 scuba tanks in the footwells.
 
I saw this and thought maybe you were gonna take up jet ski diving!

Soon...girlie. Just gotta get my docking lesson.

I recently sold my Sea-doo gtx. It had a 15 gallon tank and would get pretty good range/time depending on throttle. The newer one's should be the same or better than my '01.
