I am new to the forum and new to seadoo boats. But my wife and I rented one when we were on vacation in Aruba 2 weeks ago. It was a Seadoo Sportster and now we want one!
So my question is I am looking at a used 1997 Seadoo Challenger and have downloaded the check list in this thread, but my problem is I live in the northeast and the lakes are frozen so I can't take it for a ride. So is their anything that I should make double or triple check since I can't take it for a ride?
The owner says that the motor runs strong but it feel like something is slipping when at mid throttle, but goes away when at wide open. He said he replaced the propulsion system 2 years ago. I would like to pick it up in hopes of fixing it before spring as long as its not gonna cost me a ton of money.
What do you guys think and what should I look for to find what the problem is? Thanks
