looking for a used wave runner.

[littlev21]

if anyone knows someone....looking for a late model if possible.

 

[littlev21]

bummer 80 views and nothing. I guess wave runners have similar demand as bikes.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

haha. I'm kind of too!
There was one on craigslist last wee, sea doo supercharged, but speedo no work. Was only $4k.

I'm looking for one because I'll probably use it more than a moto

Ill advise you on this...if you are buying a supercharged ski, you need to find out the last time the supercharger was rebuilt. I know Seadoo changed their recommendations to 200hours, but they really should be done at 100 hours...you dont want to find out that It was never done and blow apart on you. Check out greenhulk.net might be able to find something used there

Yea F super chargers. So many blown up skis
i found a 1997 Yamaha Raider and some old ass 1991 yamaha 600 (bought it just cause I was there really). Vintage. Two stroke, 3 cylinder. Fired right up. Engine and engine bay looked cleaned on both. supposedly the Raider has a strong following. I love the throw back colors. This is worth the gamble and cheap but I’m in the dog house. 😬

if that is the fuel fill on the bow, check the seal on that cap. They dry out, cap comes loose, and then you are royal F'd. (dont ask me how I know)

 

[THATmanMANNY]

Yes and thanks for tip!

And change the trailer hub bearings. (You can ask me how I know)

There’s a ‘96ish sea-doo in my garage that hasn’t been started in 20 years.

I had that exact model and year Yamaha Wave Raider (but is was the orange and purple color scheme). That machine was bulletproof for me...oil, gas, winterized it every season. No major issues. Miss it!!

So I’m sort of squatting in my uncles lake house at the moment, I asked about the seadoo when I spotted it and his response was “it ran great when I parked it 20 years ago...” I’m tempted to unbury it...but you can see that’s a lot of work lol.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

I think it’s time to find out!
