Picked it up this morning. $5199, with tax and cover, $5800 out the door.

I did alot more reading and talking to people and decided to stay with the non-turbo. If I rode just weekly, I would have gotten the turbo. But I frequently ride 3 times a week and sometimes just a quick spin, so the taking off the seat to lube the turbo would get old. Plus I do more "cruising" than blasting around. Anyway, if I hate it, I'll dump it and get the 260 hp Seadoo!
Engine sounds sweet compared to my dinosaur Seadoo. And with that, my PWC total hits an all time high (5)...but I'm still an amatuer compared to most of you guys.
Who else has one of these F-12's?

Sea-Donkey

Cool.
I do have one question thus far...what is the tube feeding out inside the jet nozzle? Never seen this on a Doo or Yamaha.

its a good habit to get in to spray your engine down with crc 656 whether you have a turbo or not

I got around 420 hours on mine and it still looks new

I spray my snowmobile with it

Self bildge system uses vac from the jet pump to help keep hull dry........ok design but would feel better with a electric one....my ski is 5 year old Im worried about a rubber hose busting under the engine

Ah thanks. Looks like it would hinder jet thrust...but I guess not enough to matter.

Yes, congrats on the ski. I bought an 06' leftover F12 in 07' with zero hrs on it. Thanks for bringing my resale value down even more j/k. You'll love it, I cruise mostly too... I love the pull it has on your arms when you hit it, will pull a tube, ski, and wake board no problem, easy on gas, holds me the wife and 2 small kids no problem. Haven't had any trouble with it either. Was that out the door with a trailer?

They are giving them away. The F12 is a great ski in my opinion. Something like 360 hours on my 2002.
