Well, it's time to move on to a different boat. So I am offering my 98 Speedster up for sale. I would like to see it go to someone who understands these boats, which is why I'm leaving a note on this forum. It's in very good shape and has been professionally maintained. Just had it on the...

Guys, I need to remove my fuel baffle on a 98 speedster. But how do you reach it? Its up under the rear seats on top of the tank. I can only hang upside down for so long... What is the secret to the positions you need to be in to work on these boats?

I was sitting online looking at boat stuff before bed (what's new?) and it hit me... My wife (and me too) always wish we had more (dry) storage on the boat. To keep her purse dry, extra towels, etc. Everything always gets stuffed into the rear hatch. So when you need something, just start...

OK..this is frustrating. I have had the boat out twice so far since it was winterized, and am not getting anything over 4000 RPM Here are the details: - New Plugs (changed before my second time out) - New Pump Oil - New Motor Oil - New Gas - Cleaned RAVE valves - Changed oil...

Been wanting to add a depth/water temp gauge to the boat for awhile now. I finally got around to it as my project for this year :) Thought I would show some pictures. Basically, the only place I could mount the transducer was on the port side, under the swim platform. Since the...

I'm sure this has come up before, but I cant find any info. With twin engines, are the impellers the same? Or, do they require a different pitch to neutralize the rotation?

I was wondering... My fuel gauge does not work...and yes, I know all about the baffles and the fix for the fuse and the floats. But, the low fuel alarm still works. Is this part of the same mech? What powers the low fuel alarm? Can I assume that if the alarm works, that means the fuse...

Last weekend, I am standing at the gas station filling up my 98 speedster. A woman walks up to me and says "wow...is that like a big jet ski, boat thing? It has those nozzely, squirty things on the back like a jet ski, but its a boat...right?" I'm thinking "No lady, its a pop up camper...

Pics with the bimini opened.

Some of you requested more pics of my updates, and of the bimini top. Here you go. HD quality this time. Let me know if you have any questions. Top is from Overtons. I love it. More pics attached in post below.

I'm not a master mechanic...but removing the fuse and soldering the gap seems a bit risky. The fuse was there for a reason. Can't this be a fire hazard? This is located IN THE GAS TANK. Everyone seems to be really supportive of this method...and I think its a good idea...I would just...

Took some snapshots from the dock on memorial weekend. Notice New graphics above rub rail, new hull graphic "seadoo" decal, refinished vinyl on the armrests, and a bright shiny wax/polish job. Also snapped a few pics of the other boats in the family. The 32 foot sailboat (the home away from...

I lubed up my throttle cables the other day, they operate nice and smooth, and always have. I do it for the preventive maintenance, as supposed to. Then..Over the weekend, I noticed the starboard throttle handle had two minor issues 1) It was lubed so nicely, it felt "loose" and would...

Wanted to post a pic of my new look! New graphics above rub rail. (New SeaDoo logo for hull on the way, will post a new pic when done) Also, repainted trailer, new rims, and graphics on trailer. Also, new winch and trailer jack and led lights.

I have an extra seat bottom for a 98-04 speedster. Its red. Its has some rips and cracks in it. I actually founf a new one on ebay to replace this one with. It needs to be recovered, but the foam is in really good shape. Not sure if I even want to part with it yet....but, I figured...

OK, this happened to me last year, and I decided to post it here for anyone getting ready for the season. Heres the story: I have a 98 speedster. Last year I was out with my wife and our dog, and the engines both bogged down and stalled. I opened the engine hatch and smoke fumed from the...

Anyone with this model have problems with the fuel gauge / sending unit? I know they go bad over time. Is it difficult to replace? or take it to a shop? I'm pretty mechanical and usually do my own boat work, but I'm not too keen on messing around with the fuel system. This is the ONLY probelm...

I boat in Toledo, Port Clinton, Marblehead and Sandusky. Beautiful waters here. Lake Erie and Maumee River (lake erie on weekends) Any campers out there? East Harbor State Park in Ohio is a pure gem for boating enthusiasts.
