Its a 1996 SeaDoo GSX. Mine is the white one, the yellow one is my roommates.

I got it for free. It ran before my brother shipped it to me, and now i can't get it to start. No beep, no nothing.

Not to state the obvious but I'm guessing you've already checked the battery.

yes, its charged and everything. I even tried to start it with the charger on it.

I'm not sure how the key works w/ your ski. I know some older ones don't have a coded key like the newer one but have more of just a kill switch. But saying that your key is working properly I would check to make sure you are getting voltage to the starter solenoid when you push the start button. If you don't you know your problem is between the battery and the solenoid and if you do then it is probably either the solenoid or your starter.

well we still cant get it to even try to turn over. I still dont get a beep or anything when I put the key "in."

I talked to my step dad about and he said it ran great last year before they winterized it. So my roommate and I both think that its the key or the battery is messed up.

got it running, it was the battery.

Good!! It's always nice when it's the simple fix.
