The Pros and Cons of Used Jet Skis

By Kathi Janine


Just like cars, when you consider buying used jet skis there are some things to think about. There are definite pros and cons. With jet skis, there aren't too many disadvantages.

This article is all about buying a used one. Not saying that buying brand new is such a bad thing, but you really should consider the benefits of going used.

First of all, used jet skis are cheaper. When you purchase something already used, the price is definitely going to go down.

The value is not the same for all jet skis. You need to consider how old it is, the condition it is in and of course the model. Usually the price will be lower if it is in worn condition and several years old.

Most sellers of used jet skis are private owners. This usually means that the price will be significantly lower than the actual price. And, it is very possible that the jet ski was hardly ever used.

You will usually have no problem finding a used jet ski to buy. People usually sell them because their garage is too full and they hardly ever got around to using it as much as they had hoped.

Actually, when it comes down to it, a huge reason why sellers want to sell is because jet skis cannot be used all year round unless you live somewhere warm.

I mean, why have a brand new jet ski when you can only use it in the summer? It is really only worth buying a new one if you lived right by the water and in a very warm climate where you will get to use it most of the year.

Finding used jet skis for sale is actually quite easy. There are websites and online auctions where you can pick one up. I would also suggest looking in your local newspaper and classified ads to see if there is anyone local who wants to get rid of theirs.

If you find a jet ski that is in great condition you may want to consider making a little bit of extra money by renting it out.

Much like a motorcycle, acceleration in a jet ski is provided by a hand-powered throttle located on the right-side grip. By twisting the throttle, the driver can increase power to the motor. Steering a jet ski requires a combination of pointing the front-mounted grips and maneuvering the body. Unlike a street motorcycle, a jet ski often requires significant acceleration to accomplish sharp turns in the water.

Boom Brakes & Preventers, Preventing Injuries.

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:32:21 +0200
Not wishing to pre-empt the findings of the investigation into the latest tragedy in the ARC rally. But taking a good hard look at preventing injuries from being hit specifically by booms:-



During racing, the controlled gybe manoeuver may be performed many times without the use of a boom preventer - this is understandable. However, when in a cruising mode and when setting a course for a distant destination, is there a good reason for not using a boom preventer, so that if an unplanned gybe occurs - possible injury is averted ????

Full discussion ....
