This is the second one I've seen rolled over. This one in lake allatoona.

 
This is the other one

 
My wife and I have been talking about buying one since we saw a few variations of it at a boat show recently. This makes waiting to see how the newborns gremlins are addressed before buying easy to justify.
 
Jet Ski maneuverability on a pontoon, should have saw that coming.
 
Wow. Saw one for sale leaving the lake a couple of weeks ago on the side of the road. Started a conversation about "If we ever moved on a lake, it would be nice". Seen them on the water in LSC 4-5 miles off shore as well as in the Detroit River. Not the places to be rolling over.
 
Their biggest downfall is no clean out ports…. The only reason I even considered a jet boat was because of Yamaha’s clean out ports.. wonder how cute that boat will look to the infatuated when they have to get in the water and get underneath the boat to remove debris.
 
In a rough area, full of weeds and full up with people and gear. That could be game over.
