Hello, not really sure where to post this but, I have recently purchased my first ski, owned some boats but never a ski. I bought a 2002 gti le, it has about 250 hours on it and engine replaced roughly around 200 hours. Engine and inside looks great, no rust and no noticable problems. Seats are worn and sun faded and definitely need new traction mats. But I'm not to concerned about that. Now I live near alot of water and most of the guys at work have skis and boats. They are all telling me I made a mistake buying a 2002 ski and a 2-stroke and that its gonna break down and be a endless money pit. Now I've been getting nervous. Did I make a bad purchase? Do these have a decent life span? I know nothing but the basics when it comes to skis. I did purchase from a dealer that only sells and works on sea-doo skis so the ski was fully inspected by a certified seadoo mechanic.
