  1. Some guys get all the luck.

    Oh well no place to store it. And no truck to pull it with. But dam still looks fun. Its in really good condition id make room in a garage to keep it in, last thing you need to do is store it outside and have someone take it.
    As for tell the previous owner what it cost to fix and what it was. Thats kinda like rubbing his nose in the fact he didn't have time to look. And or maybe hes not mechanical clined enough to have spoted it, but then did he run it in the water with the seat off to see what was going on? Snug and tight isnt a torque spec it has factory recommendations, the guy just didnt know off the top of his head and he could be the reason the bolts sheered off in the first place.
    If thats the closest dealer thats probably where the original owner bought it. Im pretty sure he didnt buy it at home depot.

  2. I own a 2002 build of the same ski. 2 stroke carb. Check your mixture settings. At WOT, that ski will tear across the water and put the fear of god in to you. Yours looks pretty quick..its difficult to say for sure, but it looks like your missing some extra power somewhere…either incorrect mixture or throttle cable needs adjustment. Other than that…nice buy. Bit of good fortune there. Appreciate this is an old video but if you've still got her i hope you're continuing to enjoy it. They are IMO the most underrated ski BRP produced under the seadoo brand

  3. I had a 650 SeaDoo that filled with water while I was a half mile out on Lake Huron. It was one of the scariest things as a storm was about to hit. It was the cooling water intake boot. Make sure you check that too!
