  • In this video Ive been looking for a few different things to buy and sell. This one was a decent deal. Not a homer or anything but definitely a boat to make a little profit on. My good friend Mike sent the deal to me as he already bought three boats that day and he didn't have time to go buy this one. I know nothing about jet boats until today so I just went with my gut and bought the boat in hopes it was a good solid runner.(I don't recommend)
    Ill soon be listing this boat on Facebook marketplace just to turn it around and make a few $$ profit on.
    Thanks for watching and enjoy this awesome Jetboat while I still have it.

    • @KnottsFishing
      @KnottsFishing  3 года назад +6

      Id definitely run it on a lake no matter what! This one ran great at idle and as soon as I got it on the water it would bog and load up losing power under load. Check for leaks on the water as well. Run for at least 10 mins to make sure their isnt any over heating issues that pop up.

    Question on engine types, there are a couple of Challengers around my area that I am negotiating on, big question is which engine type to go with, a twin rotax (1998) or one with the Merc240 (2000) in terms of reliability and spare parts?

    I’m going to look at one of these today, the price is amazing but I’m still very apprehensive! Wish I had someone who knew about them to go with? He says it’s a key fob issue?

    • @KnottsFishing

      Ive heard of fob issues on them but not positive how to diagnose those issues. Id definitely complete a compression test though.

      Yea I can see how these things can get you in trouble quick!! That pin it and cut the wheel is probably what I was doing wrong I was running out of balls I guess. 😂
      I just picked up a smaller one today I think will put some time in to get running well and work on my spins.

      @@KnottsFishing That's great. I'm thinking about buying a 2001 Seadoo Challenger Bombardier 2000 for $5000. Like yours it needs the wood replaced on the trailer, it doesn't have the ski pole, and the radio doesn't work. Would you recommend buying the boat at that price if it runs well on the lake. This would be my first time owning a jet boat and I am not very mechanically inclined. Thank you.

      @@maztif price seems pretty decent if it has good interior, if it has a worn out interior id probably keep looking. Id definitely lake test it and make sure the motors run great! Trailer issues arent a hard issue to fix just recarpet some wood and screw down on the brackets.
