Hey, I have recently bought a 1996 Seadoo XP jetski, and I was looking to get a jet boat. I loved the Jet Ski and will probably sell it to a friend who wants it. I have decided to stick with Seadoo, and found the Jet boat I wanted. One problem I have is most people don't know what their jet boat is so it is EXTREMELY difficult to find accurate posts. http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/boa/910768159.html is the one I was looking at especially since it has a bimini. The year I was looking for would be around 1997-2000. I was curious what would be recommended to get as I do not want one with two engines, only single engine. I will be searching activly during the winter but most so come early spring. Are there any suggestions as to which one would be optimal? (I like to wakeboard and bring other people tubing/wake boarding) And the second thing I was wondering was the price range and what is far for a 97, 98, 99 or 2000 because they range from 2500-8000 and never seem to be solid price brackets as jet skis are. As I am going into college I will not have a enormous budget as I would like to buy a brand new one. Any suggestions on what to look for and what not to would be highly appreciated. Thankyou!
