I can't believe that they are ruining the fun of jet skiing in dr with stupid regulations like in the US. You are right, I could probably get a boat with the money I would spend shipping a jet ski, but I dont have the space to store a boat right now, whereas I could put a jet ski away at any of my relatives' homes whithout taking too much space. Another thing is that jet skis are a different ride from boats. They fly up in the air very nice and easy at higher speeds, and specially when you do wave jumping which is a lot of fun. Even the sound of the hydro-jet engine is beautifull. I will try to get more info on this, and find out if there are any jet ski dealers in DR. Thanks for your response PJT.
