nomames Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking out at the wonderful resource we have here and how rarely I see it being used I can't help but want to get out on the lake. I've been thinking of looking for a couple of used Jet Skis. Any idea where to even begin looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feewee Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 May I suggest trying kayaking - peaceful, good exercise, great way to see birds and mountains, no fossil fuels burned, make new friends ...the Ajijic kayak club is a great bunch of friendly folks.

Aquaponicsman Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 How about an Airboat? I hear they are really fast and can go anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The last noisy one went...........away. Not sure what happened to the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yes, RV. Fast, noisy watercraft are not much appreciated on the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valbogyo Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Before trying any fast watercraft, I suggest kayaking. There are many hidden trees and fences under the water. It is very shallow in places. Kayaking would allow you to learn about where these objects are, and where it would be safe to jetski. The experience of kayaking is just amazing. Try it!

pappysmarket Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Try posting on the Puerto Vallarta Scene forum. There are many jetskis down there and with school just resuming and high season being several months away I wouldn't be surprised if you could make a good deal. By mid to late September everyone is hurting for cash down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court0503 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 You don't see jet skis on the lake for a good reason -- as mentioned , not safe because of submerged debris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio G. Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 My name is Sergio and I'm interested in bringing jetskis to Mexico, specially to Guadalajara and surrender areas like Chapala, Ajijic, Guayabitos, Puerto Vallarta, etc. I travel twice a year from LA to Guadalajara for business. If anybody needs a toy (jetskis, boats, atvs, etc) please let me know and we can arrange something. I work for LAUSD back in LA and also do maintenance on jetskis and boats, such as carbs rebuild, etc. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

traderspoc Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 About two years ago, I remember a story of someone that told of how a friend of his damaged his jet ski, and thank god he had a friend with him to help him out. they hit an tree stump he did not see. the lake is very shallow. thats why you do not see much traffic on the lake. theres a reason for it.

gringal Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Just what is needed on the lake to ruin a peaceful walk on the Ajijic Malecon...NOT! I'd like to see those jet skis appearing here just about like I like the leaf blowers. One nice toy often seen in California is the very shallow draft "Hobiecat" sailboat. Easy to haul, easy to launch, speedy, and probably wouldn't have a problem with submerged objects. Great fun, too. There may be some here, but haven't seen them. The kayak users seem to be having a great time without blasting noise, but some people can't seem to have a good time without going fast, making noise and annoying the hell out of other people.

Yup. You heard right. The sewage water from a million and a half people in Guadalajara is dumped into Lake Chapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a constant convoy of huge dump trucks driving 35 miles each way to dump human waste into Lake Chapala 24 hours a day, which is why it is so shallow and full of sh*t, much like your comments.

HoneyBee Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hello Chris, Good study which will require more time for me to evaluate the actual health condition of the lake based on the results available. The WQI-NSF Sampling campaign diagnostics results show the following. 2 good results 13 medium results 4 bad results. The 2 good results are not even shown on the sampling map The 13 medium results are border line bad In other words from what I can see and understand from the data provided is that the lake chapala water quality is in essence border line bad.
