Jet skis for resale: what dealers look at first

Engine hours, the hull and the trailer tell most of the story.

By MZ Editorial · 3 min read

Engine hours are the first figure a dealer asks for. Low hours with a clear service record sell fastest.

The hull is next: scratches are cosmetic, but cracks near the intake or pump are not. Saltwater use should come with a record of fresh-water flushing.

A matching trailer and complete registration papers make a unit easier to ship and resell. MZ Marina members see hours, condition and papers on every listing.
