I'm looking at buying a used JetSki. Preferably a three seater. What should I be looking for while trying to buy one. What questions should I ask? Know any good places to look?

I have one that seats two. I've used it twice, and it probably has a whopping 18 hours on it. Unless you have a camp somewhere, you'll never use it.

ETA: Twice in about seven years...

Drive down False River. Pull up to every camp that has a jet ski and offer the dad money. He will take it.

dont get a 2 stroke, just for service records. just look for anything that doesnt look right. ask to test it from a cold start-up. not with him there prior getting it all warmed up and perfect

They're a shite load of fun if you live on the water and will actually use it. Op might be, but from his questions I'm gonna guess no.

They're great during the week. They suck on the weekend when everyone else and their brother are on the water.

Make sure it's a 2004 or newer Yamaha and not turbocharged or supercharged. Most reliable you can get.

QuadSki for the win.



ETA: Tried to post a picture from Google Imaages but it didn't come through...it's not used but it is a jet ski that turns into a 4 wheeler...or a 4 wheeler that turns into a jet ski...

Those are very cool and have seen a few of them here as well and am thinking about buying one and fishing it out as well.
