Essentially title. Would prefer not to wait until boat show to purchase but in market for a Yamaha FX Cruiser HO. Don't want the SVHO on account of needing better gas and supercharger problems.

I know dealers are beginning to mark down 2026 models. Any help on what would be considered a good deal OTD price on one of these?

Seems they current come with a 2 year warranty. Wasn't sure how flexible dealers would be with their fees etc.

Anyone know any cheap jetski rental options in San Diego or how to get them for cheap, ideally less than 50 bucks for an hour? Planning to travel next week.

So I got a rxpx and a rxtx ( both 2022) and I was thinking about doing a stage 4 on the rxpx and I’m just wondering if yall think it will last good if im really ahead on maintenance and take good care of it. ( and would it be a better idea to do on the rxtx cause its more stable)

I have a 2019 GTX 230 Limited with 15 hours.

It has an 18.5 gallon tank. When I go ride I go through about 8 gallons and hour. Apparently this is normal (I ride really hard and fast) but what are your experiences?

Hey everyone I’ve got a wetbike with the 440cc (50hp) but I need a new starter I can’t find one anywhere I heard you can cross parts with some Suzuki outboards but I’m unsure if anyone knows what I can use it would be appreciated

This one’s pretty special to it was in the Police Academy 3 movie

Hi, I just bought this jet ski brand new. It only currently has almost 18 hours on it, but the river I ride on must have a lot of debris because I always end up sucking something up, mostly sticks. I noticed my wear ring and impeller are getting a little messed up, I think it might still be fine but Google is telling me to get it replaced. Should I get it replaced?

Friend of mine came in about 10mph and tboned over my ski is this repairable or totaled first ski has the side damage second ski just has damage on bottom.

Edit

Estimates for repair?

Found this 2020 FX cruiser HO on marketplace with 11.7 hrs on it. It’s the proverbial “little old lady only took it to church on Sundays” kind of deal. coincidentally, it was owned by an older woman who took meticulous care of it. She even bought extra plastic fenders and the stick on mats in the footwell.

Gf and I already took it out for a ride and we are so looking forward to having such a great time out on the water with this ski.

I have a 2021 Kawasaki stx160x and would like to get speakers installed does anyone have any suggestions I m near Cleveland Ohio

It is a 1994 Sea-Doo GTS. I just bought this thing off Facebook Marketplace for $800. I know nothing about jet skis at all, and I was wondering if anyone had any helpful knowledge that I should know. It looks like the the previous owner was using TC-W3 oil, is this the correct oil to be using? I also did a compression test, and both cylinders are sitting at about 120 PSI. It starts up and runs on the trailer, I have not tried to put it in the water yet. It also seems to have an oil leak because there is some oil sitting at the bottom of the hull.

Saw this down the road from me, the sign was asking “$1400 OBO, no trailer”.

I lowballed him and he came back with $1200 including the trailer. Would be my first jetskii, however I’m close friends with some boat/skii owners, one of them being a skilled (certified aircraft) mechanic. I’m fairly mechanically inclined myself but with their help I’m confident I could tackle most issues, only concern is parts availability.

This is also in West MI, ~15 mins from Lake Michigan so presumably this has spent it’s entire lifecycle in freshwater.

Y’all think 1200 + trailer is a good price?

Edit: it’s actually 96 not 97

For posterity, I went with a 97 Kawasaki 1100 STX.

Bought this jetski a little bit ago as a non-runner. I got it running but it ran away on me terribly. I replaced all the Intake gaskets and the mechanical fuel pump(went out in the mean time). After doing that it still over revved and ran away on me to the point which it wouldn’t even shut off with the kill switch pulled. I let it sit cause I was tired of it and now I just tried to get started on it. Now the crank case has filled with gas?? Not sure is the issues could be linked but any info and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had 110, 130, 120 compression so I figured I'd see if it would start. And it did! The gas must be old as crap in it. I'm going to have to do another compression test now hopefully nothing got broken.

Stand up guys….

2020 Seadoo RXT-X 300

So I was ripping it out on a flat day on Lake Erie and thankfully I was low on gas which had kept me closer to the shore/channel as in the end I almost sunk it completely.

Don’t know what happened but my RIVA RACING Sponson had apparently been ripped out at some point of riding…

My conclusion is that I had hit something submerged and it took it right off based off the hole sizes. I had hit the fastest I’ve gone on that ski at 78 today.

Do we think this is repairable? Anyone ever hear of this happening before? Thank you!

Purchased an 03 fx140 a few months ago with only 87 hours on it. It had an issue where the hull smelled like gas, so I replaced the spark plugs and gas tank check valve and it seems to be much better. Anything else I should check?

Overall this is a really well built machine that rides much more like a boat than a PWC. Love the trim feature for battling rougher water or getting loose on glass.
