Larry,

I have a Speedster with the Merc engine and do my own maintenance. I have
had the boat for 3 years and have never done anything with the engine or
twin water boxes, they "appear" to be self draining, and the winterization
procedure doesn't mention anything about pouring antifreeze down the hoses.
And this is with the boat sitting in the winter in sub-zero temps.

Are we trolling or what.....

For the record, to save the jetboat side of SeaDooDoo's business,
they're using the MUCH more reliable and MUCH less gashog Mercury
Sport Jets, now.

Unfortunately, noone at DooDoo was smart enough to use the ONE HANDLED
THROTTLE/SHIFTER and they just COULDN'T bring themselves to let
Mercury's self-draining exhaust system, that requires no
winterization, be. In it's place they have a PWC waterbox to keep the
dealers happy winterizing jetboats.

Looks like SeaDoo is toast, doesn't it?

Maybe they can get rid of those queer, crappy, Austrian 2-strokers
with the rotating valve nonsense this way......



Why would you think that??
The original owners of the company are back . They built the first Seadoo
in
the late '60's. Why would they stop now??
As far as the engines, they have used Rotax engines since the beginning,
again, why stop now??
