First, walk don't run away from that ski! It is a crusty salted ski and the engine has overheated at least once. That is the most powerful 2 stroke that seadoo made but also the least reliable if not properly maintained and that one has not been. For a first time buyer I would suggest looking for a ski with the 720 or 787 engine.

What kind of rider are you and what and where will you be using the ski?
 
This is the write up from his add

Hear we have for sale my 99/ 2000
Year seadoo xp 951.it comes on the bunk trailer as shown, both are in good condition the trailer dose have a couple of cracks in the muds guards but this dose not affect how the work. The ski has had an engine rebuild 2 1/2 years ago , the work was done by Allan at Jetshed in Sheffield. Also had throttle and carburettor and fillers, choke disconnected and set up correctly.Since I had that done it’s done roughly 20 hrs. The ski has not done anything since its last service , also by jet shed in August of last year.the ski dose have a couple of marks on its underside from usual wear and tear , I will have these sorted for the new owner. It also comes with everything show in the picture, 1x ringo 9x wet suits 4 kids sizes and 5 adult. 3x adult large gloves. 1x pair of jobe ski glasses. 6x yellow bouys.2x ski ropes.1x large kit bag.5x life jackets 2 kids sizes. A pair of wet boots size 8 with inner socks along with a large gul vest .A full cover for the ski as shown , 1 new 4ltr of oil. I have tried to list everything and explained everything honestly, if you have any questions please ask. This is a collection only item due to size, but may be able to deliver at cost please ask. I will be sad to see it go but I just don’t have time to use it at the moment, so somebody will get a great toy and hours of fun.may end at any time as advertised elsewhere also.
 
Like I said, engine is filthy with corrosion and I can see it doesn't have the correct carb boots and still has bad Gray fuel lines. IF a professional shop had worked on it they would have not kept it in that condition or left the gray fuel lines. Anybody that knows seadoo's knows to change the gray fuel lines before doing anything else.

Your money to spend but you have been warned.
 
Thanks for the advice I will give it a miss. I shall probably return when I find another I want one that will pull a skier
 
What are the main thing I should check if and when I go look at one and can they be run out of water when I'm viewing
