When purchasing a jet ski... what's considered to be too many hours on a jet ski, thanks

depends on a few things.. some jetskis have 20 hours but it's a '98 model. some jetskis have 100+ hours but it's a '09 (like mine). post up some deals you saw and get some opinions!

Here are some pretty good deals
-these first two are right down the street from my house, and are priced to make an offer
1) http://www.legendarymarine.com/Page.asp ... F-12X.aspx
2) http://www.legendarymarine.com/Page.asp ... DELUX.aspx
3) I have a guy offerring a Kawasaki stx-12f for $3,500... and it has 64 hours on it, i think it is a 2006

what yall think? thanks!

You want to try and find one that has been in "Fresh Water" only if possible.

i like the 3 one because of the price and the hours. the trailer has some rusts but the jetski looks okay. make sure when you check out a jetski, look very carefully inside the hull, around the engine, etc. you want to spot if there are any leaks and make sure it starts right up!

If you are considering the F12-x Turbo, you need to look at the turbo and the waste gate underneath. The turbo is cast iron and is where the rust accumulates if not cleaned at every exposure to saltwater.

The f12 is really a better machine for fishing in saltwater than the f12x in my opinion. 50 mph is fast enough in saltwater and you don't have the turbo issues.

So money aside, whats the best ski in yalls opinion.. these are all in my range so what yall think?

if money is okay for all of them, look at the engine and see how they sound. that's extremely important. but in general, all the ones you found are good for fishing. i can tell you that the hondas tend to hold more water in the footwell then thee rest. out of the ones you listed, i recommend the Seadoo because it's a bit bigger than the rest, it's a reliable model, and it will feel beefier in the water. (i know.. i know.. i have a Seadoo. but that's my unbiased opinion!)

My only concern is i think this seadoo model is a 2 seater, it is certainly my favorite though... and also its super charged, but is that really such a bad thing, i mean i love going fast! and im not planning on going out farther than 10 miles most likely... my only concern with super charged models is that it seems like thats just more to break, and more expensive repairs is that true? and my second favorite would be the yamaha i think due to the huge size and large back deck. whatcha think?

and also heres a picture of the seadoo's engine... hows she look?
