Jet Skis are not as common as some people might think in the Bahamas. I've never seen a Bahamian ride one, but I've seen some of the junkers left on the islands, so I suspect that a hand full of Bahamians have tried. The Jet Skis are generally limited to use by resort patrons.

This couple took their Jet Ski for a ride until it rolled over. After watching for a several minutes, it became clear that they were unable to right it. So, I went out to lend a hand. Once righted it started right up. This jet ski got a thorough salt water bath, which probably means that it will be non-functional within the next few months once the corrosion sets in.

If any of you think that Stainless Steel means rust/corrosion free, just take your boat on a salt water cruise for 6 months and don't stop at marinas for a weekly fresh water wash down (at $0.40 per gallon).
