We just started talking about getting a PWC this past week. I want to buy a used ski. Probably get a pair of them if I can get a good deal. I have a few questions.
1. What is a good stable ski for a beginner. My 14 year old son will be riding and has never ridden one. I rode a friends Kawasaki about 20 years ago right after they came out with sit down models. I remember at that time they said that the Jet Ski was more stable than the Waverunner. Of course there are new mfr's now.
2. We will only use this a few times a year so I need reliable and easy to maintain. Do I want a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke?
3. We would most likely pull a tube with it and I would like to be able to slalom ski behind it once in awhile.
4. Besides the obvious checks for oil leaks and corrosion. What other things do I need to check out with the mechanical system. Impeller (just look into water outlet?), etc.
5. How many hours would be considered high and would be getting close to needing a lot of work?
Thanks and if you have any other things I should know about or check on I would appreciate any advice you can give to this newbie.
