hey guys newbie here, a guy i know has a kawasaki 550sx for sale for about 700bucks unsure on year but its old anyway i know it need new engine mounts cause the engine moves around a heap, but just wondering what other sort of things should i look out for in buying a second hand ski? i would just hate to buy it just to find out its all flogged out, any tips would be great cheers
Congrats mate
Obvious one is the hull - Check that there are not cracks or fractures in the hull.
As you mentioned before engine mounts.
Check the pole and make sure all tip top.
The motor - make sure it fires up and runs smooth.
Not much all, there isnt much too the older stand ups.
Motor - hull - engine - mounts.
