You'll get more use out of the Vette, take it to work, pick up a date/wife, just driving down the freeway. I have a sea doo, and they're fun, but I'd much rather have a sports car.

People always gawk at Vettes and always give them respect, not always like that for the sea doo

Get the Vette man. I used to have a 2000 Seadoo GTX. It was a blast for the first few summers then we just stopped using it. I do miss it at times but we still have a ski boat to go out in. Waverunners can get very expensive.

Vette. If you lived in Florida, maybe the waverunner. In Jersey, a Vette or BMW is almost a requirement.

Being in college you'll probably still get more use out of the vette. Personally, I couldn't imagine any type of payment like that while in college, how long till you're done.

Get the Vette. Trust me I did the whole buy the truck and Sea Doo RXP thing. Yeah the Sea Doo is fast and fun...but even in Florida where we can ride like 10 months out of the year it still gets old and boring. If I would had the chance...I would have bought a Vette instead of my truck and ski. Now I am stuck with the ski which drops in value so much that you can hardly give it away. So take it from experience. Unless you want 2 toys which you end up unhappy with...buy the Vette and never look back I was just lucky that I built a second truck...LS1 S10 so at least I still have one good toy.
