Getting Your Used Jet Ski Ready for Sale

By Low Jeremy

Whether you want your used jet ski to be auctioned on Ebay or special jet ski selling sites, be listed on the yellow pages or newspapers, or be posted somewhere else, there is one common thing you should do: get it ready for the next owner.

Since selling a used jet ski is like selling a used car, knowing how to make your jet ski look flashy on the outside and perform superbly on waters is your task. So to better give you the idea on how to get your used jet ski ready for sale, here are the things you can do:

� Remove all the dents and scratches

There are a number of commercially available compounds that will effectively remove all the impurities of the exterior of your jet ski. These can be purchased on hardware store or over the internet. A couple of bucks to spend on these items will certainly increase the value of your used jet ski at the same time, would attract more potential buyers. The idea is this: buyers would want to buy used jet ski that looks brand new. So give them what they want.

� Remove rusts and any sign of corrosion

After solving the exterior, move on the more delicate and major problem to solve: you must now clear your jet ski from rusts and any sign of corrosion. Again, there are several commercially available rust removal compounds that can be purchased on hardware stores and the internet. It should be noted that most jet skis are made from rustproof material but just a preventive measure, make sure you check and remove all these.

� Research on the actual price of your jet ski

There are sites that provide information on the actual market value of your jet ski. But if you cannot find one, you can check out the site that sell used jet ski. You can base your price from them.

� Have the papers ready.

If you happen to have some receipts for your purchase of you jet ski still kept, you can use them and present to them to the buyer. In this way, your buyer will get informed in the different modifications, repairs, and replacements made on the jet ski.

Finally, you should remember that keeping your jet ski in its perfect shape from day one would lessen the trouble of having it fixed during when the time comes when you have to sell it.

Tips About used boat

Today, the most common sailboat is the sloop which features one mast and two sails, a normal mainsail and a foresail. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing towards the wind. The mainsail is attached to the mast and the boom, which is a spar capable of swinging across the boat, depending on the direction of the wind. Depending on the size and design of the foresail it can be called a jib, genoa, or spinnaker; it is possible but not common for a sloop to carry two foresails from the one forestay at one time (wing on wing). The forestay is a line or cable running from near the top of the mast to a point near the bow. In Bermuda, where a rig design influenced by the Lateen rig appeared on boats and came to be known as the Bermuda rig, a large spinnaker was carried on a spinnaker boom when running down-wind. An example of a typical sloop can be seen on the Islander 36.

In a jetboat, the waterjet draws water from beneath the hull where it passes through a series of impellers and stators - known as stages - which increase the velocity of the waterflow. Most modern jets are single stage while older waterjets may have as many as three stages. The tail section of the waterjet unit extends out through the transom of the hull above the waterline. This jetstream exits the unit through a small nozzle at high velocity to push the boat forward. Steering is accomplished by moving this nozzle to either side, or less commonly, by small gates on either side that direct the jetstream. Because the jet boat relies on the flow of water through the nozzle for control, it is not possible to steer a conventional jet boat without the throttle open.

There is no engineering limit to the size of jet boats, though the validity of their use depends a lot on the type of application. Classic prop-drives are generally more efficient and economical at low speeds (up to about 20 knots) but as boat speed increases beyond this the extra hull resistance generated by struts, rudders, shafts etc means waterjets are more efficient in the 20-50 knot range. Also, in situations where you need very large propellers turning at slow speeds (such as tug boats) the equivalent size waterjet would be simply too big to be practical. For these reasons the vast majority of waterjet units are installed in high speed vessels and in particular situations where shallow draught, manoeuvrability and load flexibility are main concerns.
