The Hondas are very reliable with the proper maintenance. Salt will kill the IHI turbo if it is neglected. I got almost 500 hours out of my '02 before I spun 2 rods overboosting it.
When I take out my Boat or ski here locally [Jax] almost 50% of the 'skis I see being RIDDEN are Hondas. Since there were not that many sold it says something for their reliability.
Honda did pull out of the PWC market, at least for now but is still making BILLIONS without PWC sales. Can SeaDooDoo say the same?
Your problem sounds like it could be fixed with just a set of IR plugs from Advanced Auto Parts [$11 each] and a can of Sea Foam dumped into the gas tank.
