    I may purchase a 1999 gp1200r

    Is there anything i should out for while inspecting this model... i'm sure the motor is worn in pretty well but i have no issues if i have to trade the motor out soon. should i worry about the pump or anything along those lines?

    I'm kinda new to the jetski world but i know i want to end up with a gpr right now and maybe swap engines over a wintert to a 1300r motor or something. I have plenty of general mechanical knowledge but haven't actually ever toyed with a pwc any help would be appreciated thank you,
    -Bill

    Hull, engine, everything is different. Not a bad ski, just not a GPR.

    If its a 99 GP1200R it is 1 of 50 built by Riva and ran 65-66, very similiar to my 97 GP1200. Got any pics so we can confirm whether its a GP or GPR?

    Australia had GPR's in 99 we did not get them over here until 00, so yes there is such a thing as a 99 GPR
