Were numbers before? If not, perhaps your town sent him a letter stating he must have 3" reflective address numbers on his mail box. We got those a few years ago. It was for 911 purposes. Some hoods around me even have them painted on the face of the curb.

Oh, and I'd have to ask cause that would be eating away at me if it was the town or his old lady nagging him, LOL.

Just "great" doesn't describe it so I have copied it for the forum...

OK the good the bad and the ugly. I am very honest in my description and I will do my best to describe the whole history and issues. Im a strong believer in Karma and I have no desire to hide anything or be deceitful because I wouldn't want a seller to do that to me. So here goes with the History:

-I purchased this Polaris used in June 2011 from a diesel engine turbine mechanic in the Coast Guard. He was moving to Maine and told me He did a lot of work to it and it ran great. Its fast and a good 3 piston motor.I took it out on lake Erie a few times that summer and stored it in my garage the following winter and I winterized it with no issues.

- Summer 2012 I took it out only a couple of times and once again it ran great and fast with no issues. Actually the first time I took it out from storage was In June I was on a Plenty of Fish.com date with this Pig and her 18yr old son (Big Hoss type kid) tagged along last minute and his girlfriend. They had a blast riding it for hours while I was having a picnic on the shore with his mom who turned out to be a mean raging drunk at the end of the date and too much alcohol. Well thats another story. She kept calling me after the date to take her son out on the ski again....HAHA fat chance. Actually the kid was cool but the mom was psychotic! Once again I winterized the jet ski and drained the fuel tank in the fall.

-Summer 2013 I took it out for the year a handful of times. It ran great and fast no issues. Still same battery from 2011. In August of 2013 I met some slut on Plenty of Fish and had an afternoon date with her and her daughter and her friend. I should have known better with this one. As I recognized her as the bar maid from a local bar. This one too was a drunk but slender and cute if you overlooked her messed up feet that were horribly deformed by bunions. Such a turn off they looked like a vulture picking up a twig. I don't know what was worse her feet or her crooked ass nicotine stained teeth. From her stories she shared with me she was a huge drama queen with arrests and restraining orders in her wake. Both her and ex boyfriends alike. Well the ski is running strong and she gives her daughter a ride on the back tries to throw her off but doesn't realize the power and the bitch flips the polaris over. I got it started but it just put put put like it was in low gear. I replace the spark plugs still no improvement. I take it to a motorsport mechanic and he rebuilds the carbs. I used after market rebuild kit for all 3 carbs. It ran strong again but the season was over and I only got to put it in the water one time after that. like the previous years I winterized it for the off season.

-Summer 2014 I take it out and had a hard time starting and I get error code of hot on LCD display. I take to another mechanic and he bypassed the switch and it ran fine and strong the second time I took it out in July. This time I met this girl from Bolivia at a street fair and she tagged along. We rode it together for about 4 hours and it was great. After that I deployed to the middle east for 2 months with the Air Force reserves and returned in September. The weather was nice when I got back so I decided to launch the ski one last time for the season. It started up ran great for a few hours and I was letting some friends use it (big mistake) and as the sun is setting my friend is limping it back to shore. Once again it seemed like it was in "idle" mode. I try to see whats wrong but the ski runs GREAT in my driveway with a hose hooked up to keep water flow but when I return it to the water under load it doesn't want to get up and go just idle. So I take it to the same mechanic in September and he opens the electrical box and the terminal board is all corroded. This idiot had my ski until June 2015 and couldn't or wouldn't find parts for it so there it sat outside uncovered for the winter. I tried to work with him and even tracked down electrical parts from eBay but the idiot was horrible returning calls and I had enough of his shit. I went months without hearing back from him. Not even a simple text. I would have picked it up sooner but the guy was over an hour away from me.

-Summer 2015 so I picked it up in July. When I brought it home it ran in my driveway. and I replaced the electrical terminal board myself a week later. Now I can't get it to start or turn over just "click". I take it to another reputable (or so I thought) powersport shop and they checked the compression which was good. Tested ignition but diagnosed it needing a magneto upgrade kit which starts at $600 and now the starter doesn't work they said replace or rebuild starter. They want way way too much money to fix so I am selling it. Like I said it ran until I switched out the terminal board and I don't know 100% if I may have done something wrong. I was pretty careful replacing wire by wire. Even before looking at the ski the mechanic said it probably needs the upgrade kit, but I am skeptical. I have the receipt from them if you want to view it. Im also including the repair manualSO thats my story. Any other questions feel free to ask or include you cell phone number and i can call you if you wish. Thanks for looking. Scott
- I do have a reserve price and for what I am asking its worth much more than that in parts. I am offering it for sale locally there fore I may end the auction at anytime.
 
Hahah, wow, this guy has bad luck with women :facepalm: Then again, we've probably all been there a time or two. Won't forget when this dumb ho scratched my freshly painted ski on a boat prop not even a minute after I spent a bunch of time teaching her REVERSE. Believe it or not, that was NOT the low point of that date.
 
On the listing it says yamaha, must be one of those dopes who calls all sit downs "seadoos"

I was doing a rehab of a 2nd story floor that was a 3 bedroom apartment. Into a one bedroom man cave / office. He hired 2 guys to do the ceramic tile in the bath and kitchen. They talked about this woman they picked up on an Internet dating site. Passed her around their friends. They said she was skinny with a huge chest and psycho! They would tell stories about. The one would mention. Did we tell you?: she was skinny with a huge chest and psycho! It was funny as hell !

I want me a "jet sky". sounds fun.

If i was closer, and knew how to install the "new floors to install" i'd jump on this!
 
Oh man I don't even know where to start with this one. There is a loose bunji cord holding the things down in back in case the two loose straps fail haha. The cover never comes off for the pics either. He's going for the "surprise in the box" approach. Sounds like he is missing a couple hundred cc's as well. They have three x's in thanks I just can't take it, I may have to gibe him a call.
 
Gibe the guy a break, i think that green cord is a bicycle lock, lol.
You know, just that extra layer of security in case the potential thieves decide to carry off the seadoo instead of just taking the whole trailer...[emoji1]

Wow, we need to spend a little more on the education system. Sad when English is your first language and you use it like your second or third.
