There is no doubt this is an inappropriate post! Craig's List

P.S. I'll trade you my 72 Datsun for it if you deliver to Frisco Bay?

I bought a 99 SeaDoo jet boat with 225Hp Twin Jets for $6K a year ago.

Its very similar and is a blast to ride in and no prop worries.

The 2nd engine redundancy came in handy on the second outing on the CO river when the jet sucked up a submerged towl and put 1 engine out of commission, but fortunately I simply motored upstream back to the trailer on the other engine, unstuck the plugged jet and was on my way again in 15 minutes.

Without the second engine the day would have been shot trying to drift down river to the next launch and then getting back to the car etc.

Seeing as how this board is not overly busy I don't see the harm in a fellow Porsche guy going off topic a bit.

Lets just say he needs the money to support his Porsche habit and its back on topic again?!

Yeah we sucked up some plants during low tide a couple of times, but the motor never seized. It just does not let us go fast. We just take it slow to the trailer, pull it out, cut the plants out, and get back in the water.

I remember those seadoos. It was yellow right? I think they were all yellow at that time. Seeing those older seadoos is what led us to get this boat in the first place. And we already had 2 jet ski's so we were familar with jet motors more than outboard motors.
