After years of deliberating, I finally did it. I bought a boat! Now, my family has always owned boats, and I work at a boating magazine; so I’m no stranger to the lifestyle, but this was the first boat that was solely mine. I’m 32 years old, so you may ask, why did it take me so long to pull the trigger? A few good reasons. For one, I hadn’t found the right boat (until now) that both fit my budget and my wish list.

Back in September I had the opportunity to travel to Arkansas to test out some new PWC offerings from Sea-Doo. Full disclosure, I also come from a Sea-Doo family. We’ve owned several over the years (most recently an RXT-X 300), so I was pretty excited to experience these new models in person. The big news is of course the new supercharged Rotax 1630 ACE 325-hp engine. This is currently the highest horsepower rating from a factory built PWC engine.
