Seller Notes:

I love this boat and hate to sell. Can't find a mechanic that knows how to work on it. I've owned this 4 years and it ran great when I first bought it until mechanics got ahold of it. I have been through 4 mechanics who get it running...for awhile...it seems to be a fuel line issue as compression is good. The last time it was out end of last summer, it ran all day long perfect, as is the pattern, and then RPMs kept dropping 'til the right engine kicked off all together and once again I limped in on one engine, no fun. It has been sitting covered ever since. The interior is good, there is some dry rot and a few tears in the seats. I've seen where they sell replacement sets on here for about $500 as I still contemplate keeping her in hopes of finding a mechanic. I cleaned it thoroughly before covering it for the winter. This boat deserves someone who can work on it and take care of it and has many more fun hours left in her. Can negotiate skis and tube/tow rope as well.

Description:

I love this boat and hate to sell it. Can't find a mechanic worth his salt. I've owned it 3 seasons and it ran perfect when I first bought it. Took it in for some minor things and it's never been the same since. Have been through 4 mechanics. Not everyone can work on jet boats as I found out the hard way. Anyway, last time out end of last summer, it ran perfect all day. Heading back in, the right engine started dropping RPMs until it completely kicked off and I limped in on one engine. It has been thoroughly cleaned and covered since then. Needs the battery charged as I did not keep it on a trickle charger. There are a few dry rot spots and a few tears. I've seen on classifieds board they sell replacement covers or cushions for about $500. I was looking because I really don't want to sell it, but...so if you're good with engines or have a trusty mechanic, this little gem is for you! She's got a lot of fun left in her for the right person and deserves a good owner.
