Used PWC questions

One thing I will add about Sea Doo is check to make sure only Sea Doo oil was used. I know it will be an hot topic but it WILL make a huge difference in longevity of said machine. Any blue in the tank or oil lines (which are painted white) and will need to be scraped to check. Also the ethanol in the gas will eat the fuel lines.

Jetskier is correct. Look for an older 2002 to 2004 4 stroke Yamaha, Sea Doo, or Honda. Give DaSilvas in Moultonboro a call. He always has a few older 4 strokes for sale. Also check Craigslist. I picked up a 04 Sea Doo GTX Wake with 98 hours on it in 2012 for cheap money. Had three different 2 stroke Sea Doos and they were nice, but 4 strokes are way better.

There is a 2002 Yamaha FX 140 4 stroke waverunner in Woodbridge CT that was just posted on Craigslist yesterday. Comes with trailer and only has 117 hours. Look good in pics. They are asking $3,300.

My 2002 Seadoo GTX is still going strong. We put it in the water at Lee's Mills yesterday and it is now at our house until mid- October. It is so much fun. I go all over the lake in it and I don't live close to a any ports.
