Mainly bc it's in his storage unit and he can't work on his waveblaster while it's in there. I was there and the place is packed to the gills. he did all the normal svc on it. Quality fuel lines, carb rebuilds, driveline rebuild kit, etc. compression is 150 in each cyl, I'll be WT'ing when I pick it up, contingent upon it floating with no leaks. He had it out by me in the water last weekend.. And I stressed to him that it's a no deal if it sinks lol. He's cool with that.
However most people say anything to sell something, but it's $600 for a solid hull, good condition ski, with a trailer, and a solid motor.
Worst case, I sell the MPEM, trailer and motor, break even, sawzall the hull and call it a day, OR, I wind up with a spare good running motor, other spare parts, I sell the trailer, and I'll be happy
