Hey there, was wondering if anyone has experience with the 2001 Sea-Doo LRV PWC. My neighbor is selling his with the trailer (galvinized frame), and the sea doo cover. He's owned it since new and its spent most of it's time in fresh water with a few sea water trips. Everything looks to be in good shape on it, (no tears in seat, decals not faded, no apparent fluid leaks, etc). The PWC has sat for 4-5yrs without being run, and the guy wants to sell. See pics.
My question is, these seem to be a limited production model (not many 4 seaters around anymore) which could mean parts are hard to find=expensive repairs? Does that also mean it is "rare" and worth more $$ ? Is this model a lemon? What sort of mechanical issues do they have? Is it worth buying or move on to looking at a different model? How stable is it in rough water?
My family is 4 (wife me and 2 young kids), and was wanting to get a PWC that is easy for the wife to put in/out of the lake, can tow the kids on a tube, waterski, wakeboard, etc. Being it's a 4 seater i'm hoping we can all pile onto it and take it out for a few hours to tour the lake.
Of course the other obvious question...what's this thing worth? He says he wants $5K which includes the trailer, and cover. Before I give him any $$ tho, I told him i want the local BRP dealer to inspect it and see what may be wrong with it after sitting for so long.
Any info you guys (and gals) can provide would be much appreciated. Warm weather will be here soon, and can't wait to hit the lake!
