[Sailin817]

Hey yall,
Not sure if I got burned on the price or not, but I got a 1990 500 1987 440 78 550 and an 87 550 (the only one not running is the 87 550) The 78 550 cranks but does not run.
Anyway after my uncles getting a pair ok kawi 440s when I was 3 (1985) Ive wanted one, now Ironically I got 4 in one shot after selling my hobie. anything I should know about? see yall on the water soon.

At this point the price is irrelevant, you now have a ride and that's what counts.:arms:

Some things you should get for the ski you plan on riding most is; finger throttle, straighter handle bars and a pole spring. I installed a lanyard on mine, but that’s opinional.
Later you may want to put one of the 550 motors in a 440 hull, makes a better ski IMO.

Have fun.
