Default seadoo challenger 1998 twin 75 rotex

Looking at a seadoo challenger 1998 twin 75 rotax, wondering what the
potential issues are.

Reason for this type of boat is;
1. Fits in my garage.
2. Has two motors - I'd like to use it on lake ontario (very very
large) so the prospect of having two separate motors is attractive
when it comes to getting home.

Apparently the hull is all fibreglass so I'm thinking the the main
issues would be the motors & drive system. Can anyone fill me in on
what to look for? I don't want to start throwing money in a hole.

Tried this once before, so will mention I'm not interested is those
the just want to slag jetboats out of some sense of moral
superiority...


Nephew bought one a number of years back. Within the first year he needed a
$1500.00 engine repair.
Although he was able to get some kind of relief from the seller...I wouldn't
touch them.
I don't look at those things as a 'real boat'......
