About Me

Owner and National Consultant of THE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT GROUP INC.
I live in beautiful Burlington Ontario, part of Halton Region, which has the highest standard of living in North America (according to some research study).

I am a new(November 2011)owner of a 1997 Seadoo Challenger 1800, which I purchased in like new condition... Seriously! We use it for pleasure as well as for work, as we conduct shorebird assessment and control along inland waters of the Great Lakes.
Last in the water December 1 2011, on a sunny Thursday with 9C temps. Beautiful!

Not sure what I will be in for with maintaining the boat, but I am eager to learn from the experience of the pro's on this forum!

Full Bore looks good, do you guys know of any Canadian re-builders with good reputation, say in Ontario?

Wow that really sucks. Being a newbie to the seadoo line of products (challenger 1800), I did some research on the products before evaluating and purchasing my Challenger.
I have owned jet boats before, and there is always a balance of opinions, both good and bad experiences. I find that many owners do not get support from BRP on newer (2-5 year old) products, and if purchasing a unit older than that, brp support doesn't matter. Totally depends on who owned it and who took care of it. I wasn't in the market for a new boat, mainly because of price point, but I did want the features that the challenger provided in design. So my search took me to a unit which was maintained, and driven as it was designed to, for a price i could afford, even if I had to put a little more money into it.

Like any product line, there are good and bad with all of them. It just depends on each situation. I know if I were in dootndo2 shoes I would be pissed as well with a relatively new product.

So what happened in the long run? Did you fix, scrap or sell it?
