Default Jetski help?

I'm planning on buying a jetski pretty soon, does anyone know if buying one with about 100 hrs is bad? Is that considered like a car that has 100,000 miles?

As long as it's been maintained well, I wouldn't worry about 100 hrs at all. Two strokes are similar to deisels, in that the engine is lubricated on both sides of the rings. I ride a 96 Blaster that probably has 150+ hrs, and an '89 650 sx that probably has over 300. The best way to check on a ski is to do a compression test. If your cylinders are within 10 psi of each other, you should be good to go.

We bought a used jetski and have had great sucess with it. Be sure that you get one with enough power or you wont be happy with it we have a yamaha 1200 and my husband has so much fun with it on the river and in the gulf. I hope you have many hours of fun with it.
