Hi Everyone,
I live in Colombia (South America) and was recently offered this Jet Boat. I am looking for a trailerable boat to be used in lakes and rivers at high altitude (2,600 meters or 8,500 feet above sea level) They are very hard to come by as they were not readily available so that is where my questions and concerns come in:
1. What boat is it? My deductive logic tells me its a 1999 Speedster with 720s, am I right?
2. Both engines (The owners states them as 720s) need to be rebuilt and possibly have over heating. Are parts readily available? How complicated is the rebuild process with the right parts? Are they expensive to rebuild?
3. How reliable are these boats once they are in tip top shape?
4. Is this a good platform to tow wake boarders, skiers and the like for a fun day at the lake? Or is it underpowered or small for this type of use?
Please keep in mind all parts are like going to have to be imported from the USA so there is an additional cost for this type of fix.
Thanks for any and all feedback you want to give a potential future owner!
