Leaving for our trip to view, Sea Trial and if successful, purchase the 2007 Challenger 180. Stay tuned......

We're back...........And still boat-less!:(

While the boat looked good, I gave the wear ring and impeller a look and they were nasty(gouged, dinged etc...), One trailer inner bearing grease seal was blow and the boat had some gelcoat gouges.

4 hours each way and came home empty handed....So goes the used boat search.

Back to the drawing board.

Bum..bleepinp..luck!

That is crappy...given those photos..where was the gouges?...I'm firing up the craigslist search engine again!!:cheers:
 
Fort Myers

Jim,

We saw the Sarasota boat a few weeks ago. It was trashed. The one in Jax is interesting but its an 06 :-( The one in Ft Myers came on my Radar earlier today. I will call on that one tomorrow. With 3 hours on the boat and with a 5 year warranty that looks interesting if its in new condition.

What I really want is an '08 or '09 still in shrinkwrap.

At this point I'd see if you could get them to knock $1k off the Ft Meyers boat and call it done. Its basically a brand new boat and has great warranty. Not going to find much better than that for the money. Well maybe just a little less for more hours but this way your getting a brand new boat.
 
Anyone knows if Seadoo dealer is stocking boats?

Craig found this out this afternoon. Apparently, they have another 08 that they just took the wrap off. I think Craig might make an offer on it....

Anyone know if the Seadoo dealers around you stocking a lot of boat? Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?!:rofl:
 
Guys,

The Ft Myers boat at $16,999(demo) was sold last week. They have two other '08s but they want $20,500 OTD. Again these are regular 180's(not SE). I may offer $19,000 OTD today.

In the meantime, I got a call from Smith powersports in NC(This is where some of us on this forum bought our boats in the past). They are offering a 2009 180(again regular) for a fair price. I will speak with fred again Thursday to get particulars and pictures. Stay tuned.
