Okay, I'm not lying, I have a 2001 Waverunner XL800 that has 10 hours on it. Here's what the XL800 looks like:

Why does it only have ten hours? Because Waverunners are big fun toys that you buy when there's a three day weekend and you tell yourself think about all the money I can save by buying one of these instead of renting since I'm positive I'll be taking it out all the time now that I have one. Well that turned into maybe four outings because I live an hour from the best spot to drop it in and you have to be a morning person to truly enjoy a day out with it, sleeping until 11 and getting it in the water by 2 PM doesn't leave much time and that encourages you to say, well, I'll get up early and take it out tomorrow.
So, the thing hasn't actually been started in three years, but it's in perfect condition. This means if you're mechanically inclined, you have a little work to do before you take it out but not something you couldn't do in a day; i.e. work some oil into the pistons and turn them over by hand, flush the bad fuel, oil all the right spots and finally crank it up, foul some plugs while you get it back to a nice idle and then you're good to go with a brand new boat. If you don't want all that mess, you're looking at about $300 to $400 to get a dealer to prep it.
If you want it, make me an offer, it comes with a nice trailer, brand new wheels/tires/bearings since I had to get it out of the garage to make room for the Lambo last October, three life jackets of different sizes, miscellaneous gear like tow rope, uhf radio, etc. Just make sure you'd actually use it, don't be stupid. :banghead:
Here's full specs on this model:
