For the last two years, I've been lurking around this forum for random help and info. I figured it was time to join and show my story, my watercraft, and my adventures with it. I picked up my 96 SeaDoo Challenger back in August of 2022 for $3200, allegedly from the 2nd owner. A closure investigation showed the boat had been at a family lake house since its original purchase on Lake Erie. The people I bought it from only used it a handful of times and wanted to sell it before winter. So that story checked out lol. Also, the original trailer, cover, and bost itself had the original badge from the marina it was sold from. The significance of that is that my uncle's family owned that marina and sold this exact boat, so it came full circle.


I've been on jet boats since my first memories of being on a lake, this model specifically. My family also owned this same model back in the day when they were new.
Fast forward to 2022, she ran great the rest of that summer but with slight surging at the top end at 6400RPM and slow to plane out.
