Need advise on buying boat

[Josh4402]

Hey everyone, I am trying to find out which boat I should buy for our first boat. Here are the 2 boats that I am torn between

2013 Yamaha ar210 jet boat 100hours

2010 four Winns f224 duo prop outdrive 150 hours.

my biggest question is what is the best boat for a first boat, drivability, maintenance, reliability etc......

thank you,

I don't think either of these boats are very well known in the UK, which might explain the lack off answers.

Ultimately, what are you going to be doing with it?

The jet boat will be safer for people in the water, if you are into water sports, but will be a trickier boat to learn to handle.

The Four winns will be a better family boat for days out etc.

Thank you for the advice.
Our main goal will be to just hang out on the lake, maybe do some tubing, boarding, fishing, etc......

Just guys, or girls as well? I think the Four Winns has a small toilet compartment, which the girls might appreciate.

The servicing and repair bills will be less on the Four winds compaired to jet drive as well.
