Buying From A Rental Company - PWC Forum: The best hang-out for Personal WaterCraft enthusiasts

PlayoffFan · 07-18-2008, 06:28 PM

Well I have been looking at PWC's for awhile now and have an opportunity to purchase a couple of 2007 Yamaha VX110 that were used in a rental business. The have ~150 hours on each, price is pretty close to NADA guidelines. We don't need anything that will give you a face lift, just something to provide fun and reliability (although I may change that with some of the mod's that I have seen are availble from reading this board).

I have rented PWC's before and basically we would just get on them and give it all the gas it we could handle, which is what they are made for.....

There doesn't appear to be any many bruises on them and structurally they seem sound.

Anything that I should that I should be aware of. I have never bought used but don't really want new for this toy. Tell me what I am missing....
