Utopia 205 SE 430 HP...Do I pull the trigger?

Not sure how much more we can beat this around. As I mentioned before you guys win...I understand--it all is an OPEN book. I'm now being analyzed to determine whether or not I am a nice guy.....what more do you want me to do at this point???

I dont think anyone is beating you up. Just stating their opinion, that you did ask for.

Am I wrong? Maybe I don't understand what my function is as a member of this forum?

maybe just post up 2-3 of the major problems? Or what was the big turn off for you that you couldn't overlook? I'm not even interested in the boat, but now I'm curious as to what was wrong with it. lol

I've only been on this forum about a month and everyone has given me extremely helpful, free advice, especially Dr. Honda. If I had to pay for this great info I wouldn't be able to afford my ski!

I think the nature of this forum is such that withholding Information is not in anyone's best interest. I personally love this I hope to get to a point where I can actually help someone else.

The SeaDoo was not in stated condition and Never serviced since new.

If it has issues why not tell us? The seller is trying to sell a turd so why try and keep it a secret?

Hey Guys !
I must jump in Nitro's defense a little bit. I actually PM him in the beginning stage of this post and he promptly responded multiple times. I'm currently looking to get a bigger boat myself and I was very curious to learn from his experience. The first boat that I ever bought I was clueless and I got screwed.
I must say he is a nice guy and was very helpful and perhaps too nice not to bash this seller who knew that this guy flew down there and paid someone $250 to inspect the boat only to refuse a sea trial and didn't even want to allow it to connect to the garden hose along with other things. I understand where he is coming from because we all sounded like we are interested in the boat and wanted to know all the details after he did invested his time and money into it. Also, he did say to PM him for more info rather than making it public.
But on the other hand, I personally think sharing is caring and the seller should get a negative review here, as well as on eBay for being an A-hole and to warn others before putting a bid on this boat or any other future business with them.

So getting back to the original point of this thread... I've seen a few posts on here about engine issues but have noticed that they were mostly from folks running in salt water. Is there generally more issues with jet motors due to salt or possible due to lack of proper maintenance? I realize any engine in water needs good care, just wondering if there was a trend with the salt being harder on these machines.
Thanks
