Congratulations on getting your boating license!
Now that you have finally passed the test, here comes the most exciting part: Choosing your personal watercraft (PWC). There are plenty of options available online, and as a beginner, you are probably thinking about getting a dinghy or a pontoon boat. However, if you have previously tried your hand at these boats, then perhaps, you might love a challenge.
How about getting a Waverunner, or another brand known as a Jet Ski?
A Waverunner costs between $7,000 and $18,000, making it an expensive buy. But, we would like to point out a few pros that will help you make up your mind:
- There’s not a single boat out there like the Waverunner! At 35mph, you will feel like you are flying on water.
- Compared to a traditional boat with the sail and all, there’s nothing you have to fix or move in order to start the boat. It’s fairly simple as 1 and 2: Turn on the engine, and you are good to go.
- All a Waverunner has going on is speed. If you can master that, you will have nothing to worry about. The brakes provide additional safety, something which you don’t find in older boats.
- It gives excellent gas mileage
We could go on and on about the advantages of buying a Waverunner, but that’s not what we are focusing on. Unlike other boats, a Waverunner requires extra maintenance because its repair service is quite costly. This is why you need to winterize your PWC so that you don’t end up choking the engine. This is a topic for another day.
For property storage, you will need a boatport so that you can easily get your Waverunner out of the water and into the shed.
Following are different types of PWC ports for your Waverunner:
A boatport, also known as a drive-on dock, is a platform that allows you to easily bring your PWC on the shore from where you can take it to your storage space. EZ Dock offers multiple PWC ports in various sizes, which are listed below:
EZ Port 280
This boatport has a wide body design and is one of the widest ports with an additional walkway space of 10”. This allows you to easily load and unload your PWC without any effort. This boatport is ideal for lakes that have freshwater or saltwater. The surface is high enough to keep your Waverunner completely dry.
EZ Port VXP
This is a boatport for smaller PWCs. It will protect your Waverunner from bad weather, wakes, and waves. The VXP is specifically designed for small jet skis that weigh less than 1,300 lbs.
EZ Port 2i
This is one of the most common and popular PWC ports. Its self-adjusting design makes it a game-changer. The 2i can board any type of PWC, as long as it does not weigh more than 1,700 lbs.
- Z Port 2i Bow Stop
The 2i Bow Stop is a part of the 2i boatport. It is fastened to the surface and assists in porting your PWC safely.
EZ Port MAX System
The MAX system boatport had a modular, adjustable, and expandable system. It’s ideal for more than PWCs, which makes it perfect for boating enthusiasts who have multiple watercraft. This boatport can be customized for tandem inlines and tight slip spaces.
So, if you are treating yourself to a Waverunner, don’t forget to buy a boatport that matches its size. You can get one from EZ Dock. They have various boating and docking products such as boat docks, covered floating docks, industrial floating docks, railing, gangways, etc. For more information, call on (800) 654-8168.
