I'm thinking of purchasing a used 2005 challenger. Anything i should be worried about?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing to be worried about, just make sure to inspect the boat thoroughly. Check the hull and engine compartment for leaks. Test drive it and make sure it is running as it should.

Do you have any details of the condition of the boat or pics you can share?

Well here is the situation. I'm buying the boat from a guy that is about 11 hours from where i live. He will be bringing it half way. I've arranged to have the boat looked over(compresion test, check the supercharger, hull etc). I will after that bring it to the local warf and put it in the water for a test run. But this is my first boat. So i'm looking for specific things/recalls i should look for for that years model.

I am not aware of recalls on that model year. Only somewhat of concern on these boats is the ceramic washers in the supercharger, some have had issues with these in the past. Check to see if this boat still has ceramic washers or if they have been replaced with the titanium ones.

Have a look here for more details, http://seadoosportbo...?showtopic=1882.
