Hello, I'm new here and recommended by a seller. I'm looking to pick up a little Seadoo spedster, sportster, challanger, bombardeer and the likes. BTW why so many models when some look exactly the same!?
It would be my first boat and i'm still a little wet around the ears but am a quick learner.
Any general things to look for would be greatly appreciated, as well as any general questions you could recommend when looking at one.
One in particular that i am looking at :
http://prntscr.com/7uxrjl
http://prntscr.com/7uxrrf
http://prntscr.com/7uxrwv
Seller says it needs a battery, the oil pumps have been removed (which i guess means that the oil needs mixed directly with the gas), few cracks (the old plastic trim around the drivers storage area) and dents and dings, but runs great.
Anything i should be worried about here? What new questions should i ask?
Is the removal of the oil pumps something i should look for in other similar boats as well? I've been around 2 stroke motorcycles for a while, i get the concept, and with a boat i get why it would be a good thing to do if these things are prone to failing with age.... but am i missing something?
Also, are 2 strokes or older boats like these restricted at all around california/nevada lakes/rivers?
Thank You very Much for any help
