I am new to the forum. It's been a while since I've shopped a PWC (last time was '99) and I'm looking for some assistance. I am going to check out a 2005 F-12X this weekend. The unit has 110hrs and is described as being in "excellent condition". This is the 2nd owner, purchased with approximately 90hrs 3 years ago. It is female owned and operated (always adult driven) with detailed maintenance records.
The last time it was used was the end of last summer (Sept - Oct '09). It was winterized, covered and stored in a garage. Two concerns I have that I'm hoping someone can help me with. First, is the lack of use - I know it sounds funny, but I was under the impression that these things like to be run - and they only put 20 or so hours on it in 3 years. Second, once winterized, how long can the engines sit unused without causing long term effects to the motor? Will I be able to start the unit on Sunday if was truely winterized?
I am very new to this, so any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
