What are your plans for it....keep or flip it?
flipping it.....might need lots of labor to only make a couple hundred on it. Is it worth it to you?
 
your call, i wouldn't have interest in buying it to ride unless I have a cousin coming into town that I don't like, and if you part it out you will make a few bux but spend a lot of time as well and have to throw away misc bs after your done.

my bro bought a similar ski (for the trailer only) and ended up giving the motor away to me and it smelled up my garage for 2 months before I passed it along to seadoobuddy to take apart and experiment with, then he dumped the hull on CL on a "curb alert" in the end, the ski itself wasn't worth the trouble, took up space in the back yard and was an eyesore, but the trailer was worth the $150 anyway.

bottom line, IMO a 657 isn't worth the trouble.
 
I know you can get it for a song and a dance but I would leave it alone.

First off, Its Flint. I lived there off and on for years so I have a right to be bias, I wouldn't buy shit without something saying its legit even though you probably wouldn't get caught even if the thing was stolen. Flint + No paperwork = Shady deal. Just my opinion.

Second, The timing is off huh? Hows that happen? How do you know its not smoked completely? It just sounds like a pain in the ass to me but to each there own Brock.
 
he did a comp test (which i would verify) he said that its 145 and 140...but you are all right about the shady side of it and JOE i know =EXACTLY what you mean...i grew up in detroit near linkin park my grandpa was the chief of police down there so i got alot into the CRIME side of the southern part of the state....think im gonna let this one fly by thanks guys......JOE where do you live now
 
I wouldn't buy anything without paperwork. You could call the local pd and give them the hull numbers and see if it's stolen. If not, just get a bill of sale.


Flint is a hole, I hated working up there.

Im in Ortonville now, Its in between Clarkston and Davison off of M-15. I remember moving down here and being like wow! My auto insurance just dropped by over a 250 bucks! Hahaha. See, It pays to leave Flint. My wife and I left when a stray bullet came through our bedroom wall on new years eve 2004. Were like, Yep thats enough, were out!
