I'm selling a 2008 Seadoo Challenger 180 SE. It has one 215 HP supercharged engine. Its a closed loop system (uses antifreeze instead of water for cooling) so you don't have to winterize it.
I'll take a bunch more pictures this evening as well.Options: Trailer w/ spare wheel and foldable toungue Wakeboard tower (folds down) Extra battery added w/ selector switch Extra speakers w/ amplifier (brand new head unit and amp) Details: I bought this boat last winter (because that's when you get the deals) with 49 hours total on it. The last owner said it probably needed a supercharger rebuild because it didn't go as fast as did when he first bought it. Top speed is about 45mph and he was only getting to 35mph. A friend of a friend owns a Seadoo repair shop near lake Texoma gave me the low down on these boats (superchargers last around 80 hours or less, make sure the motor is sound because you don't want to rebuild one, told me what to look for etc) In addition he agreed to do all the work at a fair price if I bought the boat. So I went to look at it and bought it. I then took it straight to him and had the following done: Complete supercharger rebuild Jet pump service New Impeller and wear ring Extra battery added w/ selector switch Oil change A few other things I'm forgetting Condition: The boat is near mint. It has around 56 hours on it now. There might be one small scuff on one decal and the interior is perfect. Its always been stored in a garage or in my case under a metal awning w a cover on it. I *think* some stitching is coming loose on the bimini top but that's easily fixed. Why am I selling the boat after spending all that money on it? Here's a few reasons 1) I want to get better at wakeboarding and this thing doesn't put out a big enough wake 2) I'm not a big fan of jet boats...after having a few beers I find it difficult to maneuver them in a safe manner 3) I'm honestly not a big fan of Seadoo boats...I've already dropped about $2,500 dollars on this thing, replaced about everything I thought I could to make this boat problem free, and the last time I went out this beeping noise went off from the dash and threw out a code and wouldn't let theboat start. I turned the ignition off and on again....and then it started up. I had to go through this routine every time I started the boat and it really pisses me off. I called up my repair guy, gave him the code,and asked him what the deal is. Long story short its a common sensor issue and the sensor ispita to get to.He recommended I just deal with cycling the ignition every time to start it because it won't hurt anything. That sent me over the edge...I'm done with this thing and its ready for a new owner. Clean title in hand and ready to transfer. I reserve the right to end early because this boat is also for sale locally.
