buying a 1998 951cc XP limited

[kadidle]

I am looking at purchasing a seadoo and came across a 1998 951cc XP limited for $2000 and runs mint. I researched and basically came up with this. The 1995 xp are slower than the 96, the 96 hand and accelerate like crazy. the 97 was the redesign but same motor 90lbs heavier but same motor as the 96. then the 98 model received a bigger and better engine bumping the speed up and from 98-02 the xp models are pretty much the same hull and engine. My questions are is this a good buy ? is it worth buying a 98 limited or go with a 96 model ?
