I almost never mess with Yamaha's, I stripped down a few of them in the past but it took forever to get rid of all the crap I had left over. However, these dont' look that bad, and at $100, how can you complain ?

I don't think they ever looked good, lol.
I hate that style. It looks like a shoe lol
Lol, could you imagine back in the day walking into the dealer and thinking "I have to have that!"
 
ahahahahahah! I agree! they were referencing these ski's when they made that jingle, "Jump on dee boat, da banana boat!!!!"
 
So do you guys remember the hx I posted about a few weeks ago? Well I finally got back to SC and went to look at it..... everything looks good except for this....yes, that's a wheelbarrow

Brother in law took it apart, and needless to say, [MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] , I might have to pick you up on that 717 offer
 
As long as everything is there you will be fine. At least if something isn't it's family so you can have him look for it.
 
That is plenty to work with. I still have good 717's so no problem there. That was a newer 717, you can tell by the mag cover and mounts.

It has a Factory pipe and flame arrestors. That set up is guilty of blowing up many a 717 but it really rips. You will have to decide if you want to keep it Aftermarket and "edgy" or go back safe and reliable.
 
i'll start a thread soon. I'm hoping for this to be my first "from the bottom up" project, so will definitely be needing yalls help! stay tuned....
 
Poor skis I feel so sorry for them. But I don't know if I could stand to look at them in my yard with that ugly ass paint job.
 
I would take that RXX. You take the engine and pipes and I'll take the rest. We just need to get him to separate the wounded one from the pack.
 
It's very clean the seat looks mint decals good condition as well I'm pondering detuning mine did you change the water box in the one you detuned
 
No I think the pipe and the carb jets were all that were changed. I'm trying to get a new house right now or I'd probably just drive there and get it. A deal on a RXX does not come up that often.
 
Yeah it's pulling at me. I'm the kind of idiot that "can't afford" new paint and floors in the house before we move in but meanwhile has added an eighth "keeper" to the fleet. I must say it has always worked out though. A great deal on a great ski might be worth paying a little credit card interest on (I tell myself) haha.

Honestly I'm more worried about the stupid finance company freaking out about a "large purchase". They are so strict these days since the mortgage scandal. I used to just tell them how much I had and it was good enough. Understandably that was part of the problem.
 
If you were to break the value of each item 750 for the kawasaki 500 for the trailer 1750 for the rxx. If I didn't have a tax payment due on January 15 I would consider it. Sometimes self-employment sucks...
 
Yes it sucks sometimes cause the hammer stops with you and the world can deal some tough blows. I wouldn't trade it though. :patriot:


Yeah the deal makes sense. That guy has been softened by the reality of the market by now and he's primed for a pro to move in. Just the fact that he has taken the effort to rearrange his toys and put forth this new offering shows that he could use some Holiday cash. Not a lot of people shopping jetskis this time of year.

I'm both tempted and afraid to text him and ask what he would cut loose the RXX by itself for.
 
I hear you. Once I make contact and start a pre negotiation it's hard for me to walk away if I get them in my comfort range price wise. But you have to keep your wife happy too so if mama wants a house better hurry up and find her a house.
 
[MENTION=51824]Matt Braley[/MENTION] you know I'm the guinea pig who will call and talk to anyone.. Get me the number, and write back with what questions you want to ask and I'll report back..lol, I usually find myself getting the best deals anyway when I claim to just be "the messenger"....
