Just put a deposit down on a 1998 Sportster 1800!!!

[swill777]

Going to check it out, water test, and most likely buy on SAT morning. $4400 out the door with tags, title, reg, and trailer. I don't know if a cover is included but whatever for this price! Apparently it has been stored at the dealer and has low hours. I am going to get all the details SAT morning. So freaking excited!

Looks very clean. Congratulations on the purchase...I am sure you will get many hours of fun out of that boat!!!

Rite-on, swill. That's kind i want next...18ft, heck-yah.

 

[swill777]

Yeah I am freaking stoked. The dealer told me sold old guy bought it in 98, keeps it there, and only takes it out a few times a year. He said the boat is like new... I really really hope nothing comes up when I go to look at it. I plan to get there at 9am, the place is 135 miles from me... so with any luck, I'll be back near my place early afternoon. I'll take some pics once/if I end up getting it. Can't believe I am getting one of these. It was my Wife's idea, and she TOTALLY talked me into it, LOL.

Dude, boat look'n that good, has to have cover for it. I'd ask....good luck.:cheers:

 

[swill777]

No doubt. I'll will DEF ask about the cover.
Anything else u guys think I should ask about in general??
Any kinda checklist or something?

I'd clean out the fuel system BEFORE running it much. (And replace gray fuel lines if it has them).

What can happen is a restricted fuel system can force a LEAN condition, and that is BAD for 2-strokes.

Gas is like milk. It clabbers. This clogs the fuel sys.

Congrats!

Congrats! Bought my 99 Sportster a few months ago, and love it. Great boat, and you got steal if it runs well.

I like the seating config on that boat a lot. I wish I had looked for one of these...

Plus you can lay down on that front bench. I am jealous. My boat is tiny

Real nice ride. Be sure to go on a sea trial before you buy it, and ask all the questions you can think about.

Got the boat, for the most-part, runs great. I'm going to start another thread about my questions. Thanks guys!
