hey guys i saw this on CL today-

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/boa/3260439667.html

is this a good buy? considering they are technically $900 a piece..and thinking they can go over $2000...im not worried about them not working i am going to fix them up for my shop class this year. sounds like one just needs a carb clean and the other might need some ignition stuff. sounds easy.

this one is sketchy because idk if the electronics were damaged...but if they are not then all i have to do is clean the internals and overhaul it..easy

i would think the first ones a pretty good deal , given you dont have to rebuild both engines, i would visit em , and go through the following.

-fuel lines (if they are grey they need replaced nock 50 off per ski that has em)
-make sure they turn over, if they dont , pull the plugs and try to spin the PTO at the back , if it spins , you know the motors not tied up and at the worst you might be looking at a top end rebuild.

Honestly at that price, a good condition well running one of those skis would sell................so its a hell of a deal. but id throw him 1500 and see if he bites , tell him that usually when they sit for that long the hole engine needs gone through.

Also keep in mind , those are 787s which are a little underpowered compared to the next year where they came out with the 951 XP , will they be fun ? heck yeah , but i just want you to know what your getting into lol.

if i had the money , id do it. Even if the motor is trashed in each one of those , you could still break even with new sbt blocks.

So yeah, in short go for it lol.
