they are 2 stroke 170hp engines, usually purchased to drive fast and ride hard, nada lists the value as 6 to 7 k each with a trailer. they may not be the ideal ski for your use, it really depends on what you want them for,, if these are your first skies and you just want some reliable skies for general use, you may do a lot better if you look at a couple of vx110sport skies, they sell new for a similar price and are 4 stroke engines of similar hull size with 110 hp and are quite popular with the rental ski companies because of their reliability.

As a fisherman, I detest PWC's. That being said, I think you'd have to be crazy to pay that much for each of them... BOTH together maybe, or maybe if they were brand new, including the dealership markup.
