Finally got an FX140 !!!!!

I have been looking for months on craigslist, then I looked on PWC trader and found a 03 FX140 $3150 with 85hrs. Drove 4 hours today and rode it and it would only do 9000 rpm. Well after reading here for a while a decided to pull over and check the air filter.... oil soaked. Ran without the filter for a few minutes and wham --- straight to 10,000 RPM. Great riding ski!!!!! offered 3000.00 and they accepted. The other plus is this ski has been on Lake Martin Alabama the whole time and has never seen salt water!!!!! Every nut and bolt looked new. Just a few scuffs and nicks so I took it home. I am ready to go riding.

It was a very good deal! Those jet skis are solid to run hundreds of hours!

Kudos for finding a great deal. I looks to be in decent shape. It pays to be patient and shop around. Craigslist is great.
