I have a 2003 Yamaha fx cruiser that i got for $5000. Yamaha is very reliable. I hear Seadoo's are fast but are in the shop alot. Just make sure you take your time and inlist someone who know alot about small engines. Otherwise you may buy something cheap and end up spending a bunch of money to keep it running. Make sure you take the ski for a test drive and check hull for leaks as well as the oil for milky looking stuff.

i don't know if a could afford a 4 stroke there mostly in the newer model jet-skis. i was looking at something like a 97 sea-doo.

don't the Yamaha's have that water spray that fly's out the back?

J.BLAZE, For sure, Yamaha is VERY reliable. I've had a WaveRaider from 96 and it still works flawlessly, I'm buying a 08 Vx Deluxe after Spring Break though. I'm so stoked about it.

And Guy, yes they have the thing that shoots out of the water in the back but I'm pretty sure that it can be disconnected.

are all older Yamaha's all four-stroke?

2 strokes are simple engines. the may not last as long as a 4 stroke there are many things that can go wrong with a 4 stroke comparable to a 2 stroke. now, i'm not saying two stroke are better they both have there advantages and disadvantages.

does anyone know what to check for when examining the propulsion system?[/quote]

that`s true-if something goes wrong with he 4 stroke,it`s gonna be way more expensive than on the 2 stroke Smile

but for daily youse you might end in working more on your 2 stroke,than wakeskating!
but 2 strokes are cheaper for sure!
the Yamaha water spray that fly's out the back is made for toe in surfing in big waves-it makes it easier to spot the ski!!!

i have a 2004 yamaha 700, it has 86 horsepower and it can pull me up with ease (220lbs). it is a 4 stroke and i bought it in 2005 for 6k, im actually thinking about selling it, not sure on the price though

i think he was implying that 4 strokes require maintence less frequently, but i think when the 4 stroke does require it, it costs a pretty penny.
