My current stockpile of boat stuff.

[ORION '95 Speedster]

My latest boat buys. $1,100 total invested to get two 1995 Speedsters, two matching trailers, and an extra trailer. All 3 trailers are good to go, and 3 out of 4 motors run. All jet drives are in good shape. Papers for everything. I looked online every day for 3 months to build this stockpile of boat stuff. I also set up automatic email alerts to my search criteria.


1995 Speedster
Both motors have 150 psi across the board and run.
Seadoo Trailer included
$450

1995 Speedster
One motor runs good, one motor is disassembled
Seadoo Trailer included
$600

1998 EZ loader boat trailer

Wow!!!
What's the plan with all that? Do you have pictures

Ya, I can upload some pics, I will take them tomorrow. The reason I bought all this stuff is because my wife said "wow, cool boat. I want one!". One? I can do better than that. So I bought two. I will probably turn two boats into one really good one. After one boat is fixed up with all the best engines and seats, I will either sell the remaining boat, or keep it as a parts rig. Might get them both out on the water, but I doubt it. Seems like two boats on the water would be a hassle. Same with the trailers. Make one really nice trailer, sell one, and keep one as a spare.

Nice start to your seadoo dealership!

I'm looking forward to trying one out. I have never driven one before. I'm assuming its similar to jet skis.

 

[To2d]

Very much like a ski BUT more stable and turns flat

 

[ORION '95 Speedster]

Can they be flipped over by turning too quickly while at a high rate of speed?

 

[To2d]

Anything is possible BUT I have done a driver side 360 at 45mph and never felt it was to much. You will learn the difference between hard turns and 360s done turning right and left. Turning left is for the kids. Turning right is for the buddies

Sounds like fun. There was a 1997 Speedster for sale in this area for $500, but it was the wrong year to match my '95 for parts, both engines had problems, and there was no title. I did not buy that one.

 

[To2d]

Too bad... Could have been part of the Orion dealership

 

[ORION '95 Speedster]

If it had the same motors as the '95 - or a title, It would have been added to the pile for sure.
