Florida Classifieds

[nammer]

There is a thread like this on another forum I am in, I thought it would be an interesting place to post finds, or things that you are selling so possibly other members could pick up good deals or projects. Also a good place for members to comment on the finds.

i'll start

thought this could be a decent project

That's actually pretty good for a 96 hx with umi, worx sponsons and trailer. Looks like full umi anyways.

 

[nammer]

can anybody suggest what a possible problem with this one could be

Well, it's a 97, not a 98. Carb or fuel issues?

 

[nammer]

i'm assuming you can tell the year by the hull color? do you think that ski is worth 500-600?

 

[Matt Braley]

Nammer you should pick all these up. My fave is the SPX, it's just the rectifier. I guess I never was meant to have the clean ones.

 

[nammer]

if that spx is still there in 2 weeks, i'll offer him 450 for it, he already said he'd take 600, I wish i had time to go up and down FL picking up skiis that I don't even know how to fix. I only live bout 5 min away from that spx, so i would go look at it, but i'm in gainesville for 2 weeks.

and btw none of this is dibs, i just put it up for discussion and in case anybody else wants to hop on it

 

[nammer]

i'm pretty addicted to craigslist, new "deals" can pop up at any moment

 

[nammer]

here's another good project

Yes, graphics give it away. Also, I have a 98. FL has really good prices. I'm no where even close though.

 

[nammer]

yea i'm starting to find that certain color schemes are only found on certain years. I just wish they had a central database of what colors were made when from the manufacturer like cars, because my best reference to it is google image, and I really think 1/3 of owners have no idea what they own, or are complete idiots when they want to sell it

Best way to tell is by the hull number on the back of the ski. Mine still has the sticker by the oil cap of when it was produced. A 98 was made in 97, 97 made in 96 and so on, just like vehicles.

 

[nammer]

yea now that you mention it, I remember mine has it to, but I meant moreso for looking at skiis off craigslist, but I trust the title will tell all, if there is a title, I can't believe how many skiis are sold without titles.

 

[Thumper3322]

You guys have so many awesome deals down there... Up here you can double our triple the price.

 

[nammer]

yea we're def a ton cheaper than Canada, but most of the time, u just get what you pay for

thanks for the link ocod, i already had that top one bookmarked, but i don't think it's 100% accurate, because 2001 GS should be blue and camel, not red

i'm assuming whenever you buy jet skiis or cars and stuff that you can't bring unnoticed (smuggle ) you have to pay taxes right? how much would that be for like a $2000 jet ski

Tax used to be 8%, now it's 13% since they combined our federal and provincial tax. There's also a 220.00 registration fee which is a scam. The price has to be right, at least 1000 less than what the market would bring in canada, for me to buy something in the states

 

[nammer]

nice trailer
