Seadoo Sportster resto)))

[R9621]

Hi guys. I got a Sportster 96 with a new 4-stroke 1.8 Yamaha engine, which was installed 2 years ago in the official Yamaha service. I plan to repaint the body. Refresh stickers. Renew seats. I also want to order a hydro terf. (by the way, tell me who knows which one is suitable, maybe link or smth.). Also tell me how to find a bumper for this. I am from the north of Russia from Yakutia, have a nice day everyone)

Hello everyone, it's been 8 months since the purchase, the water season begins, here's what's done: the hull is painted, the bottom of the hull is wrapped, new decals, the seats are tightened into new sea leather ( not done yet), the engine is serviced, the hydro turf has been ordered but hasn't arrived yet (some problems‍) Instead hydro turf, a temporary solution with Aliexpress some photos bellow, so what do u think?!

Yamaha never indicates horsepower in jet skis, at least in Russia. maybe about 200, but this is not true)))
Gonna get her out on the water this weekend

looks great, good job. What kind of paint did you use on the rubber handles etc?

how much does your tow car weigh and does the boat have more horsepower than the car?

 

[R9621]

[R9621]

Ordinary paint in cans, in several layers, was pre-coated with soil, the weight of the car is about 2500 kg, and it has 367 hp vs 200 in the boat, if I understood your question correctly)))
