Mornin', lake friends!
I've been avoiding buying a jet ski because I'll have to trailer it in and out for each use, but a friend got me on his the other day and now I'm thinking of picking one up.
His is a Yamaha 2-stroke around 2005 or something and I might be able to pick it up cheap.
I have 3 questions, if you would:
1. The machine seems to smoke a bit and needs a fair amount of throttle before hitting a power band. Is that the nature of those machines or will some tune-up steps remedy that?
2. Do the new(er) machines add features that would be worth investing in a later model?
3. If yes on #2, what might I look for and what should I be expecting to pay?
It would be either for me and my wife together or alone, or with my 7 & 9 year-olds, though I'm not sure if we'd be more likely to use it independently or by following/towing our boat out and tooling around while anchored out.
Thanks!
