I am looking for a very realiable used jet ski. 4 stroke versus two stroke? I am Looking for advice.?
I am looking for a reliable used jet ski. I want something reliable so should I go 4 stroke versus two stroke. Should I go Honda versus SeaDoo. This would be just for family fun pulling tubes and maybe a wake board.
"Head Tate" is correct and I may add. 4-stroke gives "smoother", "better", "less noise", ride. "Oil mixture" and MUST be considered on 2-stroke engines. YOU cannot "burn" just any oil in these 2-strokes and the proper "oil" is expensive. Older 2-stroke jet skis (PWC) have a "tendency" of NOT being well maintained or proper oil mixture, or proper oil, period.
ALWAYS have a used boat or PWC checked by a qualified tech, approx. $120. Better to spend "little" than purchase spending a LOT. Remember, VIN's are located on the right/rear and the last two digits is year of manufacture. If NOT there WALK AWAY! If the unit is really old it may not have a VIN or located elsewhere, WALK AWAY, as well. If owner reluctant on having "checked" by YOUR mechanic of choice, WALK AWAY, something is NOT right.
SeaDoo is "far" superior than Honda. Honda is relatively "NEW" to this market, therefore, may be a good "fit" if priced right because it cannot be that old. When I sold PWC, mainly SeaDoo, we many times had "trade ins" of Hondas to purchase SeaDoo.
If pulling is important stay 4-stroke. I would also HIGHLY recommend Yamaha 175, SeaDoo 185, or higher in POWER. YOU and other family members will enjoy a "lot" better than smaller engines. NOTE: Many in North Atlanta area purchased the MOST powerful PWC, SeaDoo's 215 3-seater. This is what I own, and not much on any water, boat or PWC can "compete". Point is, the POWER is just TOO much for some and YOU may find one at a great price because the current owner wants to "down size" due to safety issues.
