    RESTO 99 Challenger 1800 - SEADOO REDO

    In my opinion the boat doesn't start any faster with the pumps. I still have to tap the choke to fire it up. I thought about doing a primer kit on each motor but it would be a pain to run all the lines to the front

    Carburetor base gasket???

    I have a hard time spending the money but I know that it will just come around and bite me if I cheap out. In the end I have about 5500 sunk into my challenger that including the purchase price. With a selling price of 7000-7500 I didn't mind spending the money.

    Carburetor base gasket???

    They aren't rubber but they are the thicker one you are referring to. You can use a regular carb gasket (Thin one from the Mikuni kits) it won't hurt anything

    On what? If your referring to the gauge surrounding, glove box, steering wheel center and side grab rails I used PPG automotive paint. I shot everything with bulldog adhesion promotor then shot a base and clear

    The gauge surrounding was a smooth surface and the glove box was covered in marine vinyl. Once the vinyl was removed it was smooth. All pieces were originally maroon

    x4 Hump Seats

    I have 3 hump seats I'm selling all are the lighter oem color ones. They are extremely close to the factory color as you can see from the photo. They are not 100% perfect but they are the best looking factory style covered seat you will find. All foam is original not repaired or made to be a...

    RESTO 99 Challenger 1800 - SEADOO REDO

    I tried to order it from Keith at seadooupholstery.com but I never got a email or call back on it so I went with ZZ-Auto thats on eBay. The covers are very nice material but you have to modify some things to make them perfect. I have stencils that are a replicas of the original seadoo logos...

    Tons of parts waiting to go in the boat still! Installed my sound system last night. I went with a kenwood head unit, 4 kenwood 6.5 speakers and a 10" sub and amp. I also detailed a small test spot to see how it would come back and I gotta say I'm impressed. With the steps I used, it...
