The sea-doos for fooling around. Hondas are fast and can tow though but not too fun otherwise.

OMG! Dude, I hope you didn't pay $10,000 for 2 2001 Seadoos?

 

[hogwild]

yup i did with double trailer,what would you have paid?.

 

[JayDawg]

Wow, no offense but you got seriously taken! For both ski's and a dual trailer, maybe 6k tops but I also would never buy a Sea Doo as they have the worst reliability. Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda are the only 3 I would ever own and even with the Honda's, that would only be if a really good deal fell into my lap.

10 grand canadian, my dealership here siad it was a good deal, if you can buy pwc that cheap you should bring to canada and sell

 

[buzzman7]

what to buy

that was a lot of $$$$$ for 2001's!!!

 

[bobby bahama]

OOHHH $10 grand Canadian. That's why. I was thinking American dollars (in which case, $7500 would have been lots.)

 

[JayDawg]

So what does 10k in Canadian money equate too in American money?

 

[Count me IN!]

still quite a bit $ 9,130.16

[no fear here]

Yeah $9100 would be quite a bit for them in the U.S. But up here in Canada our prices for PWC'S is out to lunch compared to you guys down south.

I recently sold a relativley stock '89'SX 650 for $1500.00 within a week through Craigslist.

I wish I lived down there. I would be buying cheap, and listing them up here for a fortune. I would even pay the duty fees, and still make a fistfull of cash.

Hey! That gives me an idea......
