Hey all.

So I'm new to the world of PWC, well new to owning one not riding. I was looking for a cheap jet ski and I actually found a free one on Craigslist. It's a 1992 Kawasaki 750 SS, and it's pretty beat up. The person that gave it to me said it only needed a new "battery", which is generally code for you just inherited a nightmare. The owner stated he had it in the water this year, but from the looks of it, I doubt it. I wanted a project to work on, so if you guys think this doesn't look like too much of a nightmare, I may pour a few hundred into it and see if it runs. I am pretty handy with wet sanding and using buffers, so I think I can do some of the repairs. I think it's called the Gelcoat? that's peeling, and how hard is that to fix? I need honest opinions, which from what I've read, I'll get on this site. haha. Let me know what you think. Thanks and I hope I can contribute.

Cheers.

It looks like you got what you paid for She looks very rough. I'd try and get the motor running first. Who knows where you'll get with this. FYI: when you burn fiberglass it lets off a thick black smoke.

Possible part out the pieces and use some of the proceeds to get a newer model. Then again if you can get it to start well it was free. I wouldn't put much into it cause you would be able to get another one for what you put into this one ... good luck
