I bought a 1990 Waverunner from Clint also known as funmotors123 on Bay and was told the the engine had be rebuilt.He said it was ready to go to the lake and that I should go take it for a ride that day.It was full of gas and oil so  paid the man and went to the lake and it left me 5 miles out when it broke down.It turned out to be a 650 cc engine that had a used 700cc head gasket on it that was held together by blue gasket sealer.

The engine lasted about  15 minutes and blew up.After I go back to shore hours later.I called Clint the Ebay guy that sold it to me.I was told it was my falt because I did not check the oil pump."Remember I was told it was ready to go"

When the shop tore it down they saw that it had a broken piston,bent rod,cracked exhaust and looked like some one peaced it together with  used parts from other broke skis.

So basicly I bought a Used pwc trailer with a trashed ski for 1000 dollars.

If you work hard for you money and value your time like I do,Don't Ever take some ones word for it before you buy a ski with out a test ride or you might get burned just like I did.

I realy hope that any one that reads this prevents them from getting screwed like I did.
