$2300 Superjet Gold

[EXPERIMENTAL]

It started with a craigslist ad. The story was that this thing had been an ex-racer that was raced at havasu nationals in 2001. The boat then traveled to a guy in missouri who took a loan out through his church, he fell behind on the payments and it got reposesed (but not my those dorks on TV thank god) and a used car salesmen from columbia missouri bought it. He tried it out and "sounded like it had a lot of power, but just wasn't all there." He then posted a craigslist ad, which brought it to me. It was in rough shape to say the least, but things will turn around.

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

Now, just from those pictures, you would say, "$2300 sounds like a semi-good deal, but not that golden" well this is what else we saw, that told me, this things had potential. It took a little convincing, but from what your can see in the last picture, we knew there was hidden potential. so we jumped on it.

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

So, we got it home, and started disassmebly, and man was it a chore! we took everythign apart!

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

SO, the more and more we tore our way into this things the more, goodies we kept finding!, man....this things was the closest to buried treasure that i ever found.

-P.S: prop was added by me

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

But still, even with all these goodies, there was more grim work to be done

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

Pretty soon though, all the hard work was paying off and things started going back together nicely

 

[EXPERIMENTAL]

Now came the add ons and accessories, and all that stuff that takes money. and here is where it stands today:

[EXPERIMENTAL]

Thanks everyone who posted, I really just kinda fell into this deal, and to think, my dad (showmepro1200) was going to pass this thing up in hopes "we would find something better." well no BSing it did take pretty much an entire winter to get it into riding shape, and the little add ons never stop. Nascency said it perfect its an ADDICTION.
