I'm trying to buy a 98 to 05 speedster/sportster/challenger, but before I buy something like this I always first find good people to help me maintain things I can't do myself.
It's a joke around here though, North County San Diego. I called the dealer closest to my house and a kid answers for the service dept. I ask hm if they work on SeaDoo boats, (they sell them there) and I get a sudden silence then a, yeah, like pulling teeth. I ask him some questions and he's never heard of a Challenger, had no idea that in some years they came with Merc motors, didnt know anything about the line of boats. Forget them.
Then I call a bigger dealer closer to downtown San Diego and it sounds like the same kid answers the phone. He says they don't work on 2 stroke SeaDoo boats cause they're too old. It's the biggest dealer south of LA. He's never heard of Challengers and it's like pulling teeth getting him to answer any questions about their own products and service.
My question is: Is this the way it is? Are there any relaiable, honest people working on these things? Does any one know any one in the San Diego area? Do they require alot of fixing and if so am I in for more trouble than it's worth? Either for a 97-99 2 stroke or an 04-05 four stroke boat. I would very much appreciate any feedback at all. Thank you.
