Hello everyone. My name is Scott and I am new to this forum. I also am a member of Correctcraftfan.com as I have owned a 1975 Correct Craft Skier for the past 22 years.
I just purchased a 2004 Honda Aquatrax FX12 Turbo from a friend and know hardly anything about it. It was bought new in 2005 so I would be the second owner. It has 45 hrs on it and not a scratch. Service has been done each spring and fall. I have only rode it once for about 10 mins so I literally know nothing about these machines or any other PWC. I am going out on it with the kids in the morning and don't want to mess anything up.
My question is: What do I need to know about this boat? Is it a good boat, bad choice, hard to maintain, a nightmare, etc? I know Honda quit making PWC's but it was a good deal in my opinion. Bought a nice Shorlander trailer for it used for $300. It looks almost new as well. A local mechanic told me that if I never did anything else to this boat, he would always:
1: Winterize it
2. Get a Spring tune up
3. Don't let strangers ride it.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
