jet ski hard start but runs fine?

Question

i have a 98 seadoo with the 2 cyl 2 stroke bombardier motor and when i put the key in and push the start button i have to hold it for like 3-5 seconds before the starter begins to crank the motor and when it does crank the motor it acts like it the starter doesn't have enough torque to turn it over and once it finally begins to turn over it cranks it fairly good and starts it and the motor runs strong... i just bought a new battery for it so i know its getting juice... could it be the starter is failing on me or the wiring cant handle the current from the battery to the starter?

any suggestions?

i have the exact same prob on my X2 650 . only it turn's over soon as i hit the button . then gets better . i say let it go until it wont turn over anymore then you know your problem (starter)

I would say it's the starter, cause isn't that how cars are when the starter is going out.
