This jetski has never been beached on sand or rocks; always properly anchored. It has only ever been used in fresh water, and after every ride, I flushed the engine, rinsed it thoroughly, and sprayed down the engine with WD40 to prevent any rust or corrosion. The engine runs beautifully and has always been maintained in top condition.
A few important details:
Polaris no longer produces or services most parts for these older models.
A while back, the electronic dash control board (mounted on the handlebar) developed a logic issue that caused the jetski to run rough. The team at Mount Hood Polaris resolved this by disconnecting the board. Now it runs flawlessly again.
The gas level is easy to check visually while riding.
The steering cable and battery are the only parts ever replaced.
All other components are original, with no rust anywhere.
The jetski comes with its original trailer (lights will need replacing as my kids have bumped them a few times while mowing). I’m also including a brand new, never-opened jetski cover with the sale.
This jetski has given me nothing but great memories. I’ve realized that while my heart still loves riding it, my knees and back remind me it’s time to pass it along to someone who’ll enjoy it just as much.
Asking $1,800 firm due to the excellent condition.
Happy jetskiing this summer! 🌊
