The performance expected of a 4-stroke engine should be higher than the performance of a 2-stroke engine. However, in recent times, there has been gradual reduction in 2-way engines being available on the market due to the high degree of pollution they can produce. But you will still find them when buying on the used market. Another reason to consider a 4-stroke engine is that the spare parts of the 2-stroke engines are scarcer, so maintenance and repairs can be more difficult and expensive.
This scarcity of parts can mean you get a lesser lifespan with your jet ski if you decide to buy it. Whilst you can go on forever debating how many hours on a jet ski is too much, it might be worth just getting a professional to check it over. A professional can check both the engine and body of the jet ski and also take it out for a test run it on water.
They will give it the full throttle out on the water and take the RPMs up to the maximum to check for any jerking which could be a sign of engine problems. They will also check the pumps and compression in case any fault. With the aid of a compression gauge, they can examine the cylinders.
Just run in! Still under warranty! Rebuilt Supercharger, new battery. Incredible condition for its age. Full mechanical history available. Number 2 has just had the valves replaced, also still under warranty. Excellent condition, Rebuilt Supercharger also. Trailers and Skis are registered. Kind Regards, Wayne.
Sounds sweet to me. The superchargers being rebuilt lately is good too. If you can get it for a fair price then go for it. Comes with double trailer. Anything to watch out for other than the supercharger? Me personally, I would get the supercharger rebuilt at least every hours. The manual says hours for that model, but the safer bet is every hours.
I really care about best value, keeping value, fun value and then speed as they all tend to have similar top speeds. Speed and value would be the GTR The GTR is the only one with ECO mode that gives you good gas mileage but if all you care about is gas mileage the Spark will be the one to go with but you give up a lot on comfort and speed compared to the GTR. In the pictures it does look very nice for the year. Supposedly serviced every year and new battery installed recently.
What are your thoughts on the deal and the all around about the ski? Thank you in advance you are doing us all a favor. I would for sure get a RXT supercharger looked at before buying or see when it was serviced. Some salt water use but not much. With the way the market is now that is a great deal on two VX with a trailer. Those hours are quite low for that model too. Sounds like you found a good one if it checks out. Said they were stored for years without use but did put two hours on them this year with a new battery.
What are your thoughts? Should I be looking for something? We are new to the PWC, but my Uncle always loved his sea doos. Thanks so much. Seems a middle aged couple bought it new and then he had some medical issues. Thanks again, Steven. If the hours do check out and they run fine you found a gem for sure. One is a sport, the other is a deluxe. They each have around hours. With trailer for 8k. It seems like a fair deal and both have had annual oil changes.
I am just wondering if it makes sense to buy a 15 year old PWC with hours? Great site and awesome information. That model did not have fuel-saving features so it will consume more gas than other jet skis made after with similar engine. The double trailer is a huge win, those always hold their value in the used market as everyone is looking for one. As models get more advanced, their engines tend to become more intricate, which can lead to more difficult problems.
The easiest way to make a jet ski with high hours have a longer life is through proper maintenance. That may seem like common knowledge, but often times owners still neglect their personal watercraft. Exactly what consists of proper maintenance can vary. Usually it consists of keeping up with oil changes , replacing spark plugs, and properly winterizing a jet ski after every season.
Most maintenance is fairly simple and inexpensive. When it comes to oil, I recommend Yamalube. Without the correct maintenance, even a jet ski with low hours will break down.
If purchasing a used jet ski, be sure to ask about all maintenance done. Be wary of any major or unusual repairs that the jet ski has needed. As a general rule to go by, a jet ski with more than hours is considered a high hour jet ski. On average a jet ski should have approximately 30 hours a year.
Most jet ski models have a lifespan of approximately hours, but if properly maintained they can last much longer. There are a few different ways to tell how many hours a jet ski has.
First, check to see if the pwc has an hour gauge. Most newer models should have their own version of this easily displayed.
A jet ski without an hour gauge can be taken to a dealership, where they can then run some diagnostics to check its hours. Although a PWC lifespan is usually around hours, there are plenty of stories of jet skis lasting times longer.
This also decreases costs associated with any potential repairs which could arise as a result of use. Daily and seasonal maintenance ensures that the jet ski runs as it should and reduces some of the safety risks associated with operating it. Frequent use exposes the jet ski to flooding — when it takes on water — and corrosion of certain parts including the engine.
Owners are strongly recommended to carefully flush the PWC of excess water after each use, as well as change the oil after every 50 hours of use. Carefully adhering to basic safety and operation rules as well as appropriate storage and towing as necessary will also lend years to the enjoyment of your jet ski.
If you do not have the means or the desire to sink this amount of money into a hobby, then pre-owned jet skis might be a viable option.
