    i know both the previous owners, and combine they have put about 20 hours in its entire life, give or take 5 hours. new fuel tank in 03 and a new batary this year. i believe its a lower end model. im 22 years old and not looking to be ripping around on it just looking to get out on the water to meet friends. is this a good first jetski for me?
    person is asking $2,000 for it, i offered $1,500 and waiting for reply
    sorry, it may have a few more hours. it hasnt sat for any year. it was used at least a few hours a year but the guy had a few other boats. he just bought it to have and takes care of stuff.
    has been winterized all years too.

    I think for my first seadoo, I had a 93 bombardier, and I had a great time with it! I was in the same boat you are in, I didn't need anything too crazy, just wanted to have fun with them, and I had a blast. They get up and go!

    Price seems resonable.

    sounds pretty good .. very popular jet ski ....depends on your size really ...if you are a bigger person they are harder to get back on if you fall off...i have friends that own them and they are happy.....infact 1 friend had a turbo in his....i am a little larger so i bought a Polaris sl 1050...its more stabil for me and this thing with 3 clyinders and three carbs does about 70mph with me on hit...it halls asss....sea doos are ok..... sounds like an ok buy

    if it has set around for 13 years dont be surprised if it cost another 1500 in repairs in the near future.Do you get a 10 second or 10 feet warranty?

    1500 with a trailer maybe. 2k, no way. go to greenhulk.net and ask them. They are the Doo specialists. Good luck.
