Pricing Question (96 SJ)
- Thread starter P750
- Start date
Does it run? What compression does it have? Any oxidation (as in salt water use)? Is the hull intact? Any idea of number of hours on it?
There is a guide either here or on sbt for buying a used ski, do a search.

Will it start? Can you ride it? What is the compression? Was it used in saltwater?

2000 sounds fair, assuming it is in decent shape. figure a 2000 goes for about $3k, so a 1996 could go from 1500-2500 depending on the condition, mods, etc. If you could get it for 1800, that would be decent. All the questions above will factor the price. i love buyin from 40 yr old dads who weren't really into the standup. sadly, i don't love buying a used surf ski that has been backflipped 100x.
The owner says no cracks in the hull, freshwater use only and no idea on compression. I have yet to see it but will hopefully go take a look this wknd.
He has no idea of the hours and says he is tentative to start it in the cold weather (which worries me).
Thanks for the guidance.

i wouldnt pay $2000 for a stock 96 sj that wont fire right up. especially in the winter. bring a compression guage when you check it out. even a cheap one thats not accurate if you have too. just make sure the numbers are the same or pretty close. iwould maybe pay $1500. you would be better off paying a little extra for a sj with some goodies already on it that'll fire right up

I would pay 2000 for a superjet that didnt fire with good compression and good hull.. re sell around here would be around 3000 stock
