Yamaha Waverunner XL800, 3 Seater Jet Ski & Trailer

Here we have for sale my Yamaha Wave Runner XL800, large 3 seater jet ski. This is a reluctant sale but is being forced by a house purchase and needing to get rid of my toys due to space. I’m not sure of the exact year as unlike a car, they don’t come with a log book but from what can see on the hull number, I believe it to be 2001. Over all this Ski is in really good condition as you can see from the pictures. At worse the hull has some marks as you’d expect and the gel coat on the left hand side rear top of the rail has some wear but doesn’t really detract from over all look and certainly not the functionality.

There is plenty of storage space with compartments under the rear seat and front “bonnet” (if that’s the right term?) which can also be removed to access to components and more storage space beneath. Mechanically, again she’s in really good condition. Prior to my purchasing it I was informed that engine had been rebuilt 2 years ago and the PSI test was fine so have no reason to believe otherwise. She revs freely without hesitation and takes off like a rocket! This is a 2 stroke 800cc model so is simple to maintain and has previously been converted to a pre-mix fuel rather than a separate oil system to prevent failure, which was a common fault.

These engines are very easy to work on and simple to maintain. I have just changed the spark plugs in May prior to using it and she runs like a dream. If I’m being critical, the trim cable has seized and could be changed for £70-80 but this has never bothered me as I’ve not found it necessary to adjust. If you are going to do this, then the throttle cable would probably benefit from being changed at the same time should you want to. Apart from that, she’s in good working order and has been flushed through thoroughly after each use.

Included in the sale is the trailer with light board which is also in good condition and a tailored Yamaha storage cover. Both tyres have plenty of tread on them and I have recently replaced the winch and upgraded the jockey wheel to make it easier to manoeuvre. The right hand side plastic wheel arch has been cracked at some point in the past but is functional and secure. I will also include 4lts of oil for the new owner so all you will need is to top up the fuel and you’re ready to go. Overall this is a really nice Jet Ski that’s been reliable and runs well.

There are no known faults other than what I have listed with the trim cable. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
