Yeah, except jet skies range form what? 500 - 10,000 or so, whereas a car can run from what, 10,000 - 150,000 or more. But the similarities are there.

In the past 3 yrs i've owned.. hmm
92 polaris sl 650 (turd masquerading as a pwc)
95 seadoo spi (bought with blown motor, put a new sbt motor in it and had no problems whatsoever)
97 kawasaki 900 zxi (never had a problem with it)
92 Kawasaki X2 (loved it, great fun)
89 X2 (putting a motor in it right now--personal rebuild)
85 kawasaki 550 (transplanted a motor, painted it...)
91 Seadoo GT (bought with blown motor, bought one on ebay and it works great)

7 Jetskis.. and I'm looking at at 93 SP also...

do you want New,or used???

have you looked in the local newspaper?>

this is the right time of year to buy,as its almost snowmobile season,and personal water craft prices will start to drop,as the pwc season is basically over after Labor Day.

Where did you want to use it?>

if in the ocean you better get a Big one,that uses stainless props.,

go talk to local dealers?
