    yea i know but the 3 of 3 watercraft i brought from trademe were fucked !! wanting to get it from someone who isnt going to fuck me over. think something along the lines of a superjet.


    1) seadoo - fucked out on the first ride and had major problems
    2) yamaha Gp800 - only ever went 70, powervalves never worked, which caused motor to have problems
    3) thundercat 50 Hp engine - sat on my lawn for 2 weeks and completly seized. the motor had been for a major swim. fucked crank,bent rod,fucked pistons, everything rooted to the max

    Realistically given your price range your only option is trademe. Any ski from a dealer will be way more than that.

    This one is completely standard, looks to be in exceptionally good condition, and is very nicely priced. If you were going to take another punt on trademe, this would be my pick.

    The other option is to buy locally and get Kevin from Ski MD to do a pre-pruchase inspection on it; that way you have very much reduced the risk of buying a lemon.

    Good luck! - Dazza

    The three skis you bought wernt superjets, they were buckets of shit that were abviously going to give you problems so you shouldnt have bought them

    ... I kno of a SN superjet.

    701cc 61Xmotor , rebuilt two years ago.
    alloy pole
    factory b pipe
    rideplate
    intake grate and pump stuffer
    13/17 stainless prop
    bilge pump
    46mm carb

    probably closer to 3K, but he may take bits off to bring closer to your price...but really you'd only want them all again, it's reliable and fast
