I just bought a 99 Sportster 1800 from north east Louisiana a couple of weeks ago, and had been shopping for a late 90's Seadoo boat in the region (east TX, LA, and into SW MS) for a few weeks, running boats started out around $3,200 asking for the smaller mid 90's single engine Challengers, Speedsters were priced from $3,600 with cosmetic / upholstry issue, Sportster 1800 were in the $4,000+ asking range with one not so great looking example priced at $6,000 (I paid $2,200 but one engine had issues), and the Cheapest Challenger 1800 I found was $4,200 most were in the $5,000 range, with one garage kept nice looking nearby with an asking price of $9,000 which I doubt they will ever get.
