Any opinions on buying used Seadoos, and whether a 2 cycle or 4 cycle is best?

Question

I'm thinking about buying a used Seadoo....I have heard that the 2 cycle engines are going to be outlawed on lakes in the near future...has anybody heard about this?? I live in Oregon and not aware that this could be a problem. Should I stay clear of 2 cycle and only buy4 cycle engines?? Thanks

Answer 1

I would definitely buy  4-cycle seadoos. They are WAY more fuel efficient.  I had a two cycle and now I have a 4 cycle and i probably put half as much gas in it.  I'm not sure about the two cycles being outlawed on lakes but you should go with four cycle anyway.

Answer 2

matter what type of riding you wish to do, some of the older ski that are 2 cycle are more fun then these new 4 cycle,  they may as weel be a boat ,  but itt like comparing what type of bike would you like?  dirt bike  street bike  harly or bmw cruser bike , as far as outlaw   how can they tell all the many of thousand people they cant ride there 2 cycle anymore?      little by little they are phasing out 2 cycle and not making them any more , so 20 years from now   who wants to ride and slow and old ski?   good luck,  when buying  try them on water, they all run great on a hose  

Answer 3

yes, 2 cycles boat engines are prohibited in some places because they leave some unburned fuel/oil mixture on the water. I expect to become more wide spread, especially in a state like Oregon   call your dmv an ask their guide lines. Be an educated buyer if you buy used .the repair parts for Sea doo are expensive.
