Hello all,

Just picked up our new 2008 Speedster. Brand new, never been in the water. The plan was to store it in a neighbors garage till spring or until I could clean out our garage.....

Only one minor glitch. It didn't fit in the neighbors garage. Not long ways, not sideways, not catty corner, not at all. :banghead:

Way too much crap in my garage to fit it in, but it will fit, by an inch. Of course I need to build a shed for the mower, compressor, pressure washer, bicycles, table saw, ladders and, and, well, you get the picture. Not happening anytime soon, so it's outside storage for the Seadoo. And, since it's going to be in the 20's here tonight, I had to winterize the boat. Fast.

It only took me 37 minutes from start to finish. That was flushing (just to be sure), fogging and adding antifreeze to the exhaust. Overall, it really wasn't too bad. Now we just wait for spring!
 
If it was brand new and unmolested, I wouldnt have done anything probably. The dealer 10 minutes up the road leaves boats outside 24/7 year round.

But for $6.48 (for the fogging oil) and 10 oz of antifreeze (that I had in the garage) would you have left a $15K investment alone in sub freezing temps?
 
Amazing

I wonder how many other 2008 boats are still un-sold. I saw a 2008 Speedster 200 on eBay recently, went for 28 grand which was a tad high. But better than 40K for a new one.

28K seems high if it were new.

In July 2009 I found a local dealer that sold me my 2008 S200 for $24K out the door. It was the last one he had left and I originally was going after the 09 Challenger when he offered my current boat at that price I jumped on it.

Yeah sometimes I think I can flip that for what I bought it for two years ago.
