Still not getting exactly where to turn the drive shaft. Other than the plugs, what else do you remove when doing this? I don't currently have any obstructions, but I'm sure I'll suck my rope up again at some point in time and am hoping to fix it a bit quicker than the last time.

I would also like to know how the drive shaft can be rotated manually. I took the plugs out and couldn't find a way to rotate the shaft at all.

I'm certainly going to be checking my policy over now. It seems pointless to have insurance on a boat/PWC if they won't pay out. You did have insurance specifically for your ski I assume? If so, perhaps you can tell us the company your are insured with so we can all avoid them.

How can your insurance not cover this type of theft? What kind of theft would they cover?

The same one will be posted here again in about a year or two I am sure (when I'm ready to upgrade). Thanks to minime for a great overall experience.

I just bought a gallon of the BRP oil at Burloak Marine in Burlington for $40. I'm hoping to find a cheaper alternative too, but if the Quicksilver stuff is $37/gallon, I'll just stick with the BRP stuff. To answer your question, I assume it would be wiser to take the level of oil in your...

What a lot of time you've just saved me. I've been manually going to dozens of local CL markets trying to find what I'm looking for. Thanks a bunch.

Hmm, I've obviously heard this before but I've also heard the opposite. I'm not sure if I want to spend the money that a non-jet boat will demand. I can't find anything under 15 years old in my area under about $9k.

There's very little in the area. I drove by this 2004 Sportster on the side of the road (I can't find it listed anywhere online). Prices are also a lot higher than in the US (about double actually). What are you looking for specifically? Maybe I'll sell you this 2004 that I'll surely be...

Do you think the 2000 is better than the 98 though (assuming same price)? Like you said, the 98 seems to be the preferred option by most on the forums. I don't mind making minor repairs ($1000 or less) but if I get into a big repair early, it'll likely end my boating days in a hurry. Buying...

Looks like there's plenty of experience found in this forum. Hopefully I'll be able to add my own to it shortly.

I'm willing to go anywhere within 500 miles. Obviously I'd prefer locally but the options are very limited here. Detroit seems to be my best market. The one you have linked has problems and being a first time boat owner, I'm not sure I want immediate problems (I know I'll create some of my...

I have found a couple 2000 Speedsters within my budget. Which setup is better for my purpose? - the twin rotax 787s or the Merc V6 engine?

Thanks. I'm not sure I can land one under $4k though. These are much harder to find as people generally hold on to these models a bit longer.

Hey all. I'm new here and currently in the market for a reasonably priced boat solely for the purpose of skiing and tubing. I weigh 250lbs and want to be able to ski (incl. slalom) behind it with my wife and 2 kids on board (total weight for them is about 375 lbs). I've done a fair bit of...
