Maintenance
Jet Ski’s aren’t cheap and they aren’t cheap to maintain and costs and time are a big part of owning something like this. Due to the fact that many of the older Jet Ski’s were two-stroke engines, they required a fuel/oil mixture. This is much different than many people are used to, since when you run out of gas you go to the gas station and fill it up, but with jet skis a person has to pre-mix their fuel which now-a-days can be pretty costly. Though all manufacturers have now brought in a four-stroke line-up, a Jet Ski works more like an automobile, which saves people money. Just like autos a person must check the oil within the jet ski to make sure that the level are correct. It doesn’t work like a car where it’ll bun oil, if levels get too low, bye-bye engine.


Even when something little goes wrong with a Jet Ski, like it won’t fire up, a person might get stranded somewhere you have to get the trailer out to the water, whether it be at a lake or in the ocean or gulf is a huge pain and something most people wouldn’t want to deal with.


When you go out and play, you have to clean up and if a Jet Ski owner rides in salt water you have even more to clean up. Salt water is a corrosive to metal and most of the Jet Ski’s main propulsion parts are metal, so cleaning these parts are crucial or the life of the ski will be reduced or you will have to replace parts. Provided that an owner takes care of his/her own personal belongings then a Jet Ski shouldn’t be a daunting task.
