You should do a compression check and be sure it run's and check out the pump. But don't be thinking you are gonna just buy a hull and then build a ski for less than what he is asking for that one. I am not saying just go and buy it either but it is all there and all the little component's really start adding up when starting with just a hull.

Ski starts fine and seems to run good. I didnt want him running it for more than few seconds out of the water. he lives on a lake and I will probably water test it this weekend and do a compression check immediately after while the engine is still warm.

What should the compression be?

I know if I build a ski it will be more than this, but at least I know it will be good from top to bottom. Even if I buy this I will be sinking money into it to get it up to snuff.

If you buy it, I have an OEM plastic battery tray I will send you for free if you cover the shipping cost.

I would like to say 150+ compression but my low hour 96 SJ was in mint condition when I bought it last year and is still running strong and it only had 145. I would say 140+ is liveable, 135 and lower will drop another good chunk off the sale price.

Look for me when you see me coming!
Don't take this the wrong way, but you've missed some pretty key things so far. I'd say scour through lots of pics on here before you make a decision. Generally speaking though check compression, run it, ride it...then decide if it needs more work than you are willing or ready to do (motivation or finance wise).

What "key" things? The battery tray?
