01 GTI issues

[myjay95]

i have a 2001 gti.. i was unable to ride it before buying, but it cranks right up on first turn. i noticed a very small amount of oil and water in the hull when i got it home.. i cleaned it out and it hasnt seemed to return.. heres the first problem, it smokes at startup, the guy told me it hasnt been run this year, the tags went out july 08.. he said it would clear up after i ran it for a while... so i hooked the hose up and let it run for about 5-6 mins, ran real smooth at first then it died, probably because it was leaning foward on trailer.. i turned off water immediately and tried to re crank it, got nothing.. sit the trailer up level pulled and put back kill switch and it cranked... so i let it run abnout 15 more seconds then cut it off... then i noticed water in hull about an inch or so deep.... is this normal? i didnt have drain plugs out while hose was hooked up.... also my fuel gauge dosent work.... someone give me some insight on this as im new to pwc's.. thanks

first, post in the PWC section the the boat section
second, dont run on the hose more then 3min

second dry out the hull again in the sun rags whatever, start it up again and look for leaks for where the water is coming in
