tigershark

[6 balls]

I am not real familiar with pwcs i used to own a pair of yamahas about 8 yrs ago but i have a friend at work that has a 97 tigershark for sale for 1800.00 it has sat for 3 yrs and he bought it new. He took it to the dealer to be tuned from sitting so long and it runs out great my question is how are tigersharks?? i know names like yamaha and sea-doo etc but tigershark is one i dont see a lot are they prone to having problems??

Re: tigershark

no idea as to there reliability. i'm thinkin theyz got suziki engines in them. they've been out of production since perhaps 01. some time around then. so i'd guess parts is gonna get harder and harder to find. an 97 is 9 years old. it will need lots of parts i bet. pwc wear out fast. cables, impellers, electic connections, pretty much any other part. espesialiy 2 stokes. no use, or lots of use, no maint. is bad. pwc require much maint......or you'll pay to get it back to sevicable......oh, first pwc i rode was a montego, got me hooked instantly, it rode great, nice hull design.......

Re: tigershark

they stopped production in 1999,, go to nada and look up the book value of it 1800 sounds a bit high for any condition

I've owned a 1998 for 6 years now. I think of it as an old VW beetle. No bells or wistles but reliable. Mine has not needed any work on it yet.
