I have zero knowledge in jet skis but according to some post, yamaha are #1 in reliability. I will take it to a garage and do a full test

Re: Is this a good price and is it a good jet ski

NADA says low retail at 3000.00, average retail 3380.00. That is with a trailer. If everything is perfect, well maintained, then it might be worth it, but I wouldn't pay it. There are deals out there, you have look and wait.
I would seriously consider buying a later Yamaha 4 stroke because of the fuel consumption of the 2 stroke. I have 2 '97 1100 Waveventure's and just bought 2 '06 Yamaha VX110 Deluxe. The 1100's go through 12 gallons of gas(with oil) in 2 or 3 hours. Cruising on the VX110's sip fuel compared to the 1100's. If I don't push hard,I can get all day on the VX110.
Can you tell Yamaha is my choice for my water toy's.

It comes with a 1 year old trailer. I spoke with them yesterday and the final price is 3300$ (BTW he was asking 5000$ at the beginning ) .
I guess the prices are high because its the jet skis season.

Thanks for the fast reply!

We should are consider that I live in Canada (prices are higher here) and the jet skis have never seen saltwater
