I just sold a 97 gp760 and a 97 seadoo SXI on a nice double trailer for $3200 to a friend and i gave him a deal... so id say thats a pretty good buy at 5200 if they both run well... im just not sure how many more hours the one without the rebuild will last (not that i think its going to go, i just dont track hours). Just make sure to do a compression on both skis before you ride/buy

And my friend just left my house, he sunk one on the trailer while unloading the other.
Long story short, one had a dumb modified exhaust and a cap over the original thru hull in the pump tunnel. Well the cap broke, when he was unloading one ski that he was going to ride that day, the other was on the trailer strapped down still. Engine full of water.
Pulled the plugs and shot as much water out as I could, it just kept coming.
Pulled the ski off the trailer and rolled it upside down. Shot out as much as I could. Flipped it back over and..... shot out as much as I could.
Little fuel down the cylinders, put in plugs. Cranked and sputtered.
Pulled and cleaned crud off plugs, tried again, same story. Few more rounds of sputtering and cleaning plugs and finally it fired up, let it run about 30 seconds and turned on the hose.
Let it run on the hose for about 15 min. Revving it every now and then.
Then fogged it. That’s all I can do for him for now. We can’t run the ski until the stock exhaust parts come in from eBay later this week.
Do you guys think that if I fire it up on the hose and fog it daily until we can run it hard to dry it up, it will be ok and rust free?

Sounds like that is your only option at the moment. To get all the water out you have to run it hard on the water to be 100% sure.
