Buyer beware totally, we have had customers get totally burned,..,happens every spring/ summer.,,,often for $ 3000 ( motor is done) , last summer $14 000 on a jet boat with twin 4 tecs,,,It had been totally sunk! The boat was junk!!! Do not buy a jet boat, unless you see it being driven in the water for at least 20 minutes! Even then, it is going to cost you money! People get rid of boats/ pwc's for a reason, usually it is for a bad reason! Once in a while it is for a good reason! ,,,and this is not the norm!!!
I work at marine maid in grimsby, we have the best mech on the planet,,,yes,, we inspect prospective purchases,,,but it is rare for the seller to allow a mechanic to go thoroughly through a boat or pwc.
