Found a 440 local to me pretty cheap with a fairly new PP 550 in it. Compression was 105 in each cylinder which from what I've read is ok for a 550 (?) ... kinda surprised since my 440 reads 152.
Anyway, hull is solid, engine seems good, it did start and runs. I think there's a fuel problem, there is no one way valve on the vent line, and the lines that are in the ski are all lacking clamps. No pisser installed which is sorta weird. Also carb could use a cleaning or rebuild, it's been sitting for 2 years.
Needs turf, fuel filter (original is missing), fuel lines, and new bars and finger throttle would be nice to do later.
Could not pass it up, decided to bring it home. I'll be a loaner ski for my friends.
