I just found a 97 superjet that is bone stock and literally looks about new... ridden a few times each summer. Owner is asking $2500 with single place trailer and won't split. What do you think? Worth pouncing on?
Super Jet What do you think of this deal?

I've never seen a superjet up close, anything in particular I should look for specifically on this ski?

$2500 is the standard rate for a well used but good shape stock SJ. the trailer is a bonus.
The compression should be 150 per hole.

Excellent, thanks! I plan on selling the trailer since I already have a two place so if anyone needs a single place shoot me a pm.

Some things that first time buyers miss:
1. Check around pole base for cracks, or stress marks.
2. Check the bond line for cracks, feel look under the bumpers.
3. Always get a written out bill of sale
4. Have the seller wait to start the motor cold
5. Look in the motor with a flashlight to see piston wash.
You should also be able to get an idea form looking at the bolts to see if the motor has been pulled, or electrical box opened up.
Also ask the seller what oil and gas they run. Ask oil/ratio mix OEM states 50:1 but most reccomend 40:1 is good to use. Ask the seller for extras (stand, parts, PFD) to sweeten the deal

Assuming this is it: http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/boa/2597357517.html
I would hop on it ASAP. That looks like a super clean ski. THe 96/97 OEM graphics are rare to come by. Most people just rip it off, if you keep them on you have a neat unique ski.

If that was nearby I would buy it. I love the 96/97's with original graphics..especially if the ski is mint.

Ha, I called on that one just a little while ago. Somebody was supposed to be picking it up tonight. I hope it's you. At least it will go to a X member.

I found a shop manual online and downloaded it but don't see an owners manual out there anywhere. Anyone got a lead on a digital copy?
