The Yamaha VX is a popular machine with the rental companies. It is not unusual to see them with 600-900 hours and still running fine. Several poster to this and other PWC forums have machines running fine with 500+ hours. If the VX you are looking at has been well maintained you may have a good deal there, but shop around. You may be able to find a nice FX with trailer for nearly the same price.

As far as fishing goes, you may want to op for the FX which gives you a larger platform to work from and to mount various stuff to. Check out Jet Ski Brian That guy does a lot of salt water PWC fishing and could give you the best advise.
