Hello all,

I am 19 and have saved up enough for my first boat. I mainly saltwater fish for trout, redfish, and snapper. I have a $12k budget and have been looking at small carolina skiffs, makos, and boston whalers, but recently came across a couple of Seadoo Fish Pros. I like the idea of a boat, but everything I can afford is older and most do not have the amenities I would like. The jetskis, while smaller, can go more places, is more fuel efficient, and newer/lower hours.

Im now at a crossroads of deciding which would be better, and am looking for opinions and advice. Thanks!

American Ridsmiths Genesis Titanium Series. Couldnt find much on them.

Unbelievably impressed with Takomo so far. Fully customized only 3 weeks to ship. Look beautiful feel great. Cant wait to take these to the course.

super excited to break these in

Little backstory…
Played high school golf. Peaked just above 10 hcp junior year. Broke my back July 2024 as a college freshman. Sold clubs. March 2025 bought beginner Wilson Profile to get back into it and relearn my swing. Went from 36+ hcp to now 17.8 hcp and decided I was due for an upgrade. Had a fitting session with Edwin Watts this morning. Felt the best with Taylormade Qi Max Irons ($1100) and Callaway Triple Diamond Driver ($700). But, ultimately decided against both, mostly due to price.

This evening put in the order for my new set:

From Titleist:
52.12F, 56.10S, & 60.12K SM11 Vokey Wedges

From Takomo:
201 MKII Irons 4-PW

From Callaway:
Paradym AI Smoke 3 Hybrid, 3 Wood, and Driver

All in, customized to my fitting standards for $2442.

How did I do?
