- Home of the Steelers!
Just got back from Daytona (awesome time) and put my superjet away till warmer weather (it's 10 F today). While there I spoke with Dave of Extreem Throttle about his blaster upgrade kits and I'm sold. So locating a donor ski is and isn't a problem. This is what I've found locally.
- 1995 Wave Raider 1100 with single place trailer $600. Spoke with the guy and the ski has sat for 4 years "something happened to the motor". Who knows what's wrong with it. Could be cylinder, piston, crank, etc... How can ya diagnose without tearing down a motor you haven't yet purchased?
- 1997 GP 1200 with NO trailer $1200. Guy says it runs fine and he has used it as recent as this fall. Going out to check compression tonight.
So... seeing that I'm interested in "cost effectively" upgrading one of my blasters to a 3 cylinder ski. I'm looking for suggestions on "buy a ski that is known good working condition" or wager on being able to fix a broken less expensive ski. I'm trying to take into consideration, when purchasing one of these skis, that I'm getting electronics and possibility of parting out any other parts I don't need. e.g. pump, trailer, seats, exhaust, etc... Thanks in advance for suggestions and recommendations.
