[QUOTE="jason burt, post: 499367, member: 8059"] The small jets like you have pictured are fun boats for sure. The yamahas are better quality but I don't think you will find them around $5k. The twin engine seadoos with 2 strokes are ok boats. If a motor goes bad you can get new one from SBT for less than $1k or typically it is just top end damage that can be repaired for $500 or less. The seadoos have a plastic impeller lining that cost $40 bucks and takes less than an hour to change out. Like said in other replies check compression, check impeller for bad nicks and always water test. One common problem is the small plastic oil lines from oil pump to carbs will break or come loose. They are easier to work on compared to a pwc because of engine bay size. The motors are time bombs but are easy and cheap to fix. [/QUOTE]
