I do and know for a fact that he runs it that far off shore with a buddy boat. You will also see him out in the middle of winter chasing striper. He turns alot of heads out on the water but he also pulls in alot of fish.
Don't know much about the waverunners but I think they have 15 gallon fuel tanks.So if they can get 8MPG on the water, I suppose 60 miles is possible?120 miles round trip!
Mighty impressive I'll say
That man cave looks like Carl Spackler's crib from Caddy Shack.
Can I get a ruling on this?

Actually, You DON'T disagree with me. You THINK you disagree with me, but you're mistaken. You're simply experiencing an illusion caused by the limits of your comprehension. -Dilbert
I've heard some good ones..but 60 miles offshore in that jet ski takes the cake! Man what have you been smoking??? You actually think The Hull Truth gang will believe that?
I was thinking the same thing.........so that thing has a 120 mile range? Even if it did who in their right mind would travel 60 miles offshore on it?
car port lol i have a whole other lot on the side of the garage i use for my fire pit ... could squeeze a 60'X100' building back there ..... neighbors would love me . when ever my buddies come over we hang out in the dome . no worry about anyone droping a cigarette butt on the floor spilling there beer ( man foul and against the law in the cave) it all sweeps up most the time ( weeks later ) with out too much of a hassel
Got tickled at you guys thinking Jetski could not run offshore that far. Guys have you no adventure in you at all? Bless your hearts. Your cave/shop looks great jetski. Says a lot about the person. On a few of the pictures. 1 800-get maid!!!
liveaboard we were talking about man cave not a compound , man I envy you , so much space . centuarynick you crack me up.
If I show you guys my man cave you would think I'm a caveman .
Here are a few more pictures from the shop and at the track. Some of the cars belong to customers and I certainly cannot afford some of them that are pictured. I have had the opportunity to experience all of them throughout the years. Everything you see was built, worked on, or engineered through my sweat, blood, and tears...man cave included. Enjoy!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE "MAN CAVE" OF ALL. BEING BELTED WITH THE SIX POINT HARNESS. THIS IS WHERE MY HEART IS.
Thanks for the replies.
I have a Yamaha SUV 1200 that I modified so that I may fish and dive from it. It is the largest and only 4 person that Yamaha made from 1998-2004, that is why I chose it to modify. Size equals stability when it comes to PWC's. The SUV has 115 gallons of storage in three compartments of Items up to six feet long. It holds 21 gallons of gas and two gallons of oil. I can go 80-100 miles depending on the seas. I can easily carry 12 extra gallons to give me 50 more miles. I do not usually go any further than 30 miles offshore by myself. When I go further than that I have a buddy boat fill me up before going back in.My last trip 58 miles out took three hours to get out in 4-5 footers, I caught 12 amber jacks on jigs in 4 hours. The seas laid down and it only took me 1 hour twenty minutes to get back at 45-50 mph. I have not been "towed" out or back, where would the fun be in that. I have put over 600 hundred hours onit in two years. I also have a 25 ft Grady White but recently I have been fishing from my ski more than the boat, I find it fun and some times challenging. Last year I fished from it over 70 times. Most of my fishing is in the Chesapeake Bay, Coastal Virginia and North Carolina. When the weather is right I do like to go offshore. I am very safety concious, Some of the the things I carry are: Flares, hard wired gps, hand held GPS, hard wired VHF, Hand held VHF, EPIRB, Spot GPS Tracker, Dye Packs, Compass, Peronal strobe, cell phone and in the winter I wear a Wet suit, dry suit and or Mustang Survival Suit. Here a couple more pictures.
Those are some nice looking fish Brian, and that sunrise isn't bad either. You prove what I have told many prospective boat buyers, It's not the size that matters, a cork can float in any storm, it's making it home that counts.

I’m a woman, yet I can certainly appreciate a good man cave when I see one. I myself have a pretty impressive collection of tools . Half of them I purchased on my own… half were inherited from my dad when he passed. All of them are located in my very unimpressive garage.
