r/jetski

Really just looking at the black one. Its an early 2000 maybe an 01?. Virage TX sti 1200. With just over 100 hours. The red one has some issues. It supposedly will run with a little work, but the owner basically wants to just cut it up and scrap it. So the deal is 2300 for both, and the trailer. The black one runs pretty good. Its got a little bog when you start it, but once you get going it runs great.

Do you think 2300 is a solid deal for these?

This is a 2013 Yamaha supercharger Fz-s I just bought the jet ski and in the first day I almost sunk because this, the video show where the water is coming from (the video is upside down but I think you can understand the view), I put my hand and I fell like a rubber piece I guess is like a gasket that is moving, could you guys help me understand what piece is the problem and around how much it will cost me please.
Thank you so much for the advice

I found another on marketplace for 900$

Just looking to get everybody's opinion on this ski I heard it's very reliable. I have been on jet skis before and my mom had a Sea-Doo GTX... I know it may not be as fast as that or as luxurious but I'm okay with that I just want something fun for the weekends to see if I really want to get into it and maybe eventually upgrade to a jet blaster pro.

Also the guy said he doesn't know the hours is the gauge hasn't been working the last 3 seasons, he also said I could water test it. I also do you plan on buying a compression kit to check compression as well.

Also what else should I take a look when I go to drive and look at this ski if it's worth it?

Price is in CAD not USD!

Seller wants 1500 for both with the trailer.

Neither start, one turns over and one “clicks” which sounds like a dead battery at the least.

Are these worth getting running with decent part availability?

I know nothing about jet skis but am an aircraft mechanic and also work on old cars all the time, very mechanically inclined.

Looking for a fun cheap entry into the jetksi world. Mainly looking for a double trailer and pick the best one of these two for the wife and get myself a wave blaster 1.

1 complete, 4 in progress and 1 on the shelf for parts

Sorry it won't let me add to my last post (that I did earlier). or I would have done that.

This is CAD not USD just wondering if this would be good for my first jetski, compared to the 1996 wave raider I posted earlier.

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone! Super simple question which way does this check valve go? It’s the one on the bottom (Hull) under the trim. Should the arrow point to the water or to the inside of the boat?

I’m looking into buying a Yamaha wave raider 700 after buying a old 2000 seadoo gtx I was able to fix it but there was no title and titling is hard in my state. Do yall think a wave raider is a good beginner ski I have mechanic experience. It is for sale for 1600

It’ll turn over without the spark plugs but won’t with them in. Took it out this weekend and it ran idk what happened

Going to remove it tomorrow. Winner gets an upvote.

Stick the head in the oven at 425° for 45 mins, put cylinder sleeves in freezer for 1.5 hours, get it lined up quick and drop em in, you have about 60-90secs before head shrinks and sleeves get stuck.

Boom.
