All depends on how much you want to dump into it. Buying the boat, and doing all the work yourself, all gaskets, carb rebuild, top end, stator, your going to be into it around 8-1000. The stator is pricey, you'll want to time it also. The thing is, if your going to rebuild it you might as well go all the way

Should I just get one that is running

 

[p10sdad]

If you have the tools, time, and know how, you can basicly have a new ski for the same price

the guy told me the ski ran last year but slow.i think it needs a crab cleaned what do you think?

 

[p10sdad]

If thats all it is, carb rebuild kits are 35-45 bucks, and pretty easy to do. Just pay attention to how you take it apart, my 550 had 10 or 12 pieces. bikebandit.com has some schematics on there site. Go for it, at that price you can always turn around and sell and only be out your time, but you'll pick up some knowledge of jet ski's

i priced out everything rebuild kit w/ piston,stator,carb kit it would be like $350

 

[p10sdad]

I would go with all that. Stators alone are usually 200

 

[bam290]

i will get it first and see what it needs

 

[bam290]

Should I chew guy down on the price?

 

[p10sdad]

Won't hurt to try
