Looking at a 2005 Challenger 180 which is local to me. Seeking advice as upon inquiring the seller said "the only issue that it may have is with the turbo charger. At times it will not reach full RPM's (I believe due to the turbo charger as it is suppose to kick in at 6000 RPM and thats where it cuts out at times). I have done a lot of research and apparently with any Sea-Doo product they recommend a turbo charger rebuild every 200 hours. They also say the washer used in the turbo charger from the factory is ceramic or something and they highly recommend getting a rebuild to put in a new non ceramic washer. I am not sure how many hours are on the boat or if the previous owner ever did a rebuild. I found out you can just pull the turbo charger and send it into a company to rebuild for like $400 to $500." Asking 9k, is there any way I can be sure the supercharger is just going and has not gone yet. Doing my own research I know when these go the ceramic washer go into the motor. Any advice?
