Other Complete newb about to spend $$$$$

There's the problem and are you really going to blame that on Seadoo rather than on the previous owner neglecting the machines and possibly not knowing what he was doing when modding them?

Yes, I would agree with you on the sitting for years issue, but the exhaust valves dropping, flywheel bolts breaking, ECU resetting, and most of all SC clutches shattering are very common problems with these RXPs.

And turbos rusting, pumps and engines blowing altogether, fuel pumps failing, etc etc etc is nothing new in Hondas, Kawasakis, and Yamahas. I wouldn't say the Seadoos are any more susceptible to problems than the others.

Really? I have had exactly one 4-Stroke Seadoo come to me for repair (other than owner inflicted stuff like rocks in the pump) in four or five seasons.

Lol, our shop does at LEAST one 4-tec rebuild each week.

Maybe I got lucky :dunno: I just haven't seen it around here.

(Except for that one destroyed block a couple years ago. "I let my buddy use it")

Were gonna do 360's until the pump falls out.

Put some music to that!

Before limetedslip7 replaced motor for said buyer. He was quoted from a local shop a price of 8000 to tear down and possibly replace motor. So if you don't feel comfortable doing all maintance and repairs yourself. I would say pass on it. If your OK with doing a lot of prevention maintenance go for it
