I am looking at getting a couple jet skis under 10 grand (like a couple of 2002-04) jetski / sea doo or wave runners.
Questions are: I live in Charleston, SC so probably everything will have seen salt water. What should I be looking at when I go to look at PWCs? should I ask for a wet run or simply just turn them on and check for salt residue. I am a total newb at PWCs, I drove a motorcycle so that is my own experience with smaller engines.
Also how do you clean these guys out, I was reading some other posts, can you simply hook up a hose to the impeller and run it for like 15 minutes then throw some 'salt away' in there? I am trying to figure out what I need to do everytime I pull it out of the water. Any advice would be appreciated.
My last question is is there any advantage of one company over another. I really like my Yamaha motorcycle and my family has a Sea-Doo boat which was OK, but this is def going to see salt water if I buy one and I know sea-doo and yamaha and different cooling systems (yamaha draws water n to cool while sea-doo doesn't). DOes this matter in salt water, or should I stick with Seadoo?
