Hello everybody. Another newbie here. Have been wanting to see what fun I have been missing on the water with PWC.

Currently "hunting" for a used 95-97 Seadoo Challenger or Sportster. Want to stick to a single engine for
simplicity, ease of use and of course budget.

Any tips, advise on buying my first would be appreciated greatly. I thought buying in the offseason (Winter up here...if you call this year winter) would be better on my budget. But what I have been reading is that an on the water test is
invaluable.

I have seen a few boats that selling for less due to mechanical issues, such as seized motor and such.

Should I seriously look at these? I was thinking of getting the engine rebuilt anyway, but not sure.

I wonder if I should get the boat professional inspected by a SAMS surveyor. Good idea or not?

That's it for now, look forward to hearing from you folks.

Thanks,
Paul Stack (aka Stacko)

Depending on what your budget is, I personally would try to get a boat with a 4TEC engine over a 2 stroke....!! They are allot easier on your fuel cost over a 2 stroke, and unless you have experience with 2 strokers they can cause headaches when not running properly. Just my opinion!!
