go a jet boat. i been watching prices for the last couple of yrs and i will be buiying one very shortly.
You can do so much more with a boat as aposed to jet ski's. DOnt get me wrong i love jet ski's but you can hardly pack a picnic or go fishing off one.

that's what i was thinking and this one has Ski tow poles so ill still get to have the intense sensation of hertling across the water at insane speeds

jap cars generally are not meant for towing well high revving short stroke ones anyway
for that side of things something like magna or commonwhore etc is perfect its the whole torque thing
and go the boat as simon said soooomuch more practical and by what you want to do maybe best option

Doesn't mean it can't be done. If you only did it occassionally, it wouldn't be so much of a problem. And if you didn't have to thrash it up any long hills.
But you'd probably be better off finding a friend who has a ford/commodore/magna with a towbar and either borrowing it or going part-share in a boat with them etc.
