My Daughters Kawasaki Jet Ski Wont Start....?

Question

So I bought two jet skis for the summer, a 1994 750ss and a 1991 440 (both Kawasaki). Both started up when I bought them, and right before taking them to the river. 
We got to the river, put them in and the 440 would not start... cranked over, started to start then died. Tried several times, it only cranked then...by then I figured I had flooded it, so left it tied to the dock, and we rode around on the other one.
After a couple hours, I came back, pulled it onto the trailer to change the spark plugs, and noticed there was about two inches of water in the hull.

1. Will it normally take on water if it just sits in the water for a few hours, obviously the bilge pump not running... and tied to the dock, rather choppy water. Or do I have a seal leaking or something? Hull is in perfect shape.

2. Any idea why it started before fine, but now wont? Im getting fuel, but doesnt seem like getting spark now. FYI new plugs, starter, and battery. Good compression, Thanks in advance

FYI, you will be spending ALOT of money to keep them running. Sell both when running, then buy one newer jet ski. The matinance is astronomical on skies when their newer. 14 years+, take out A loan.

Chad, 

Thanks for sharing with us of what a wonderful provider you are.  Isn't it nice that you can afford to buy two OLD, USED and HIGH HOURS jet skis.  Now since you can afford to do that, why not throw more good money after bad and have that one checked by a mechanic?

I'll bet you are from the Midwest.
