I have an 97' Sea-Doo GSX that I just bought from this guy. Its not running like it should though so I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I just took it to the lake today and when I first got on it, it was going 45 mph. As the day went on it was only reaching speeds of 35 mpgh. I was watching the rpm gauge and it was very speratic. I don't know what the problems and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what it might be. Also, I am trying to find some aftermarket preformance parts for it, but I have no clue what to get. Thanks for the help.

You need to start with Oceans Pro Sluts advice first, if that doesnt work you need to check the compression! As an X Sea-Doo Tech I can tell you they are notorious for low lube and PTO piston failure!! You need to find your problem befor you move to performance JET-SKI upgrades!!! Remember you ski is almost 8 years old!
