The prices can vary drastically depending on what you want. The biggest factor is if you want it new or used. Depreciation on is huge on watercraft. If you want to buy new, you will pay a premium. However, if you don't care as much about keeping up with the Jone's, you can buy used and save a ton of money. The other major factor in price lies in the features of the watercraft. You will pay more for a longer boat, and you will pay more depending on the size of the engine. The same can be said for Jet skis. If you want more power, you will pay a more, and a craft that can carry mor people will cost more as well. Because of the reasons, it is hard to put a solid number on the item you want. A new jet ski can run near the mid 20k mark if you get a high end one, and a john boat can run for similar amounts depending on the engine.Now if you are savy and can find the right deal at the right time you could pay $1000 and up depending on the age and the engine size. The best time to find a good deal would be at the end of the boating season. Keep your eyes open, and you can find deals at any time of the year. People may have to sell for reasons such as not being able to keep up with payments or moving, so you may find that special watercraft for a special price.Good luck.
