Well i made the trip to TX this past weekend to look at the Speedster. It wasnt quite as clean as the pics made it look and it has some minor issues, but nothing that was a deal breaker. So i got a slightly better deal on it and had the uship guy tow it back. 2 days later and here it is.
Some of the stuff it needs.
totally buffed out. Looks like it has taken a beaten from being uncovered most its life in the TX sun. Im not sure how someone can spend this kind of money on a boat and let it sit out in the sun. His alleged $250 detail job before the pics must have been a total rip off.
Decals need replaced. I planned on replacing the side Sea Doo logos with the same thing I put on the 98. The other decals on the boat look rough and need replaced too. Trying to decide on spending $400 or have Tony (Dr Honda) make something up for me. Ill post pics of those later in the thread and get some opinions.
Neither tach works....trying to figure out who makes them. i know i saw it in a thread who makes them and a user here said the company will rebuild them very cheap.
The tray covering the engines is MIA.....This one made me the most angry...Dude never mentioned that. Im thinking he is just a moron and doesnt know anything about the boat. He only owned it 2 years. Im, trying to locate a used one. If anyone has any leads let me know. Looks like i can still pick it up new for like $250.
Other than that stuff it just needs some other little stuff taken care of. The hoses to the exhaust fan are just laying in the engine compartment. Few chips in the gel need fixed. Mechanically it seems very sound. I couldnt pass it up for 10 grand. A little TLC, lots of $$$$ and lots of my time and you wont recognize it again in a few months.
Here is just a quick pic with the first mod. Poppy cover was put on and made it the 1400 miles without a problem. I already have a pile of boxes in the garage for the audio system and im ordering the HT right now.
