1997 Bombardier Sea-Doo Sportster Jet Boat for Sale
Overview
This is a great starter boat. It's mechanically sound and ready to hit the water immediately.
It has a few rough spots, but if you are looking to get the family or friends out on the
Water in a safe, reliable, affordable boat this is a great option! This boat can be a
Comfortable cruiser, a wild & aggressive speed machine, and even a tow boat for water-skiing,
Wake-boarding, tubing and more. Use this boat in rivers, lakes, or even the ocean! Plus,
Its shallow draft allows for shallow cruising if necessary.
Seating/Capacity
From the factory the boat seats 3 people including the driver in the back and 1 person
On the courtesy seat in the front, for a total of 4. We installed a custom Tracy
Fishing seat on a swivel mount (see photos) on the middle left to allow for 4 front-facing
Adults to enjoy the boat at speed, or 5 including the courtesy seat. This was a professional
Installation with all stainless steel materials. The swivel seat allows for the 4th person to
Swivel to face inwards or back to face the other 3 seats when lounging or eating. If comfortably
Cruising you can even fit 2 people on the courtesy seat, 1 person on the Tracy swivel seat,
And 3 people in back for 6 total spots.
How has the boat been cared for?
The boat has been in our family since we bought it new in 1998. It has been stored
Indoors from 1998 to 2013 over winter. Has spent the last two winters in our backyard.
It is always fully covered and winterized before storage. The engine has been rebuilt
And winterized always by Land-Air, a Bombardier/Sea-Doo /BRP dealer & service provider
in Essex, Vermont (landairvt.com).
