If it has a supercharger you need to know if it still has ceramic washers.

Check on the service records on the supercharger. 2007 was the year they were converting them from ceramic to steel. I was reading on an other forum, that they were recommending the superchargers get rebuilt every two years.

1) buy a service manual and read it and go over the boat in detail.
2) update your fire extinguisher
3) check your lights, I swap mine to LED
4) check your reverse neutral bucket
