- 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. - Развлечения
Great video brother..that looks like a blast actually
Yea its a blast! Gotta sell it before i get in trouble.
Good vid! That thing looks fun !
I hear your dad is the guru on these machines back in the day.
@@KnottsFishing oh yeah he is
I must say, dental floss to hold the bunk in place was classic!!!
Cant go wrong with a Jerry a rigged repair.
Man you are brave. There probably isn’t 1/2 a gallon of gas in that boat. Lol. Had me nervous lol
I knew I had plenty of wind to push me to shore. 😂
Great vid bud
Thank you!
Boat looks sick. I am looking at a sportster tomorrow any tips on what to look for when buying used?
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.
Hey did you end up getting the sportster? I have a 2007 speedster and having issues with it
Good Video🏆

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?
Twin rotax is the only way to go!
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?
Ive heard of fob issues on them but not positive how to diagnose those issues. Id definitely complete a compression test though.
Steel trailer, on intercoastal it’ll get rusty. More maintenance. Boat looks great.
💯 accurate! I ended up selling this after a few days playing around with it, they are definitely fun.
Just what I requested! Awesome dude, these little things are a blast! I rented one years ago at deep creek lake in Maryland. Surprised I never got stopped. Looking back now Surprised I didn't get arrested lol. Get er pinned and cut the wheel.
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 lol another one? Awesome! Looking at prices it seems like you stole that one. Yea I don't know much about boats or skis in general but a friend taught me the spin on skis years ago. Works the same on these boats.
I am going to look at a Seado Challenger 2003 it has 496 hours. It had 4 owners The eletronic gas gas gauge and speedometer doesnt work. How much would you offer for that boat?
Runs well? Probably under 5000
man I would a bought that that’s exactly what I’m looking for as my first bot
It was a great boat. They come up from time to time.
Did you fix the tachometers? If so where did you get them?
I ended up selling the boat. Had to many projects at the time unfortunately.
Do you happen to know a place with a reliable parts department for this boat
@@leeallen7964 I always use boats.net for my parts or partzilla.
It would be nice to know the anticipated sale price.
It’s already sold. I believe it brought $6500.00
Ha. The seat backs are installed upside down. Nice boat though.
Good observation yes they are the people I bought it off of told me that and said they liked the look better so they left it that way.
Thanks for watching.
Great video. Some of the butt hurt comments are even better. Lol
For a fatter guy, it pushed you through the water pretty good.
Yes it did! Esp knowing it wasn’t running quite right.
These are a inexpensive chick magnet
How I 🛬 my wife.
4500 seems a steal ?
It was definitely a great deal!!
still got it?
I sold it a few weeks ago. Fun little boat!
Wanna sell ? lol I'm in Orlando .
I sold it already, guy that bought it lived in Orlando. It was a pretty fun boat.
I’m subscribing just to read some of the cry baby comments lol
Makes me wonder what some of these people are thinking when they comment.
I have a FB knife group with 35,000 members. I feel your pain brother.
How much did you buy it for?
$3000.00
@@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.
@@KnottsFishing Thank you so much. It has the Mercury M2 Efi V6 Jet drive, anything specific I should look out for while on the water?
@@maztif im not too familiar with the merc jetdrive stuff. Id just look for obvious signs of corrosion and what not. I always see a red flag if they tell me they replaced a bunch of stuff within a short amount of time prior to selling it.(never a good sign)
This is the loudest review video I’ve ever watched….the amount of wind I had to endure to hear both you and the motor made it a complete waste of time.
Cant control the weather my friend
How dare you make that wind so loud!! Inconsiderate!! Lol
Natural sound in this video is so much better than music or other distractions. Great job Knott!
It’s sad people like you are more successful than hard working people being paid peanuts
Are you saying I’m not hard working?
Somebody’s jelly. He didn’t choose your life buddy. Now get back to work. Lol
