I bought a new standup jetski, I've wanted one since I saw them ripping around as a kid. Unfortunately I didn't quite do due diligence before buying, so I have a cylinder with low compression that looks like its got either frozen rings or a marred up cylinder wall. Goal is to get it going in the next couple weeks, so tier list is, hopefully the ring clears up with some penetrant I put into it last night enough so it starts and runs and frees them the rest of the way, or if not that, a hone and new rings and a gasket kit, and if not that, hopefully the cylinder can be bored at a nearby shop, and a new piston sends me on my way. All in all, I got a good enough deal on it I can afford to put some new parts into it, but its certainly eating into my profit/fun time on it.
