Welcome, I bought my 97 Speedster about 4 years ago, got a great deal on it, Paid $500 for it. The interior was trashed but the boat overall was an 8 out of 10. I cleaned and refurbed the carbs and put in fresh gas and was on the water in a day. Back on early October, got her in shallow water and lodged an underwater root into my port side intake. Well, relined the pumps on both jets. She now hits 58-60 mph with 3 persons on calm water. B4 the rebuild, she would get to ~48-50.
This group has great information for those of us that for financial reasons, have to DIY..
I was in Michigan and loved the clear water lakes up there. I am now in Charlotte, NC near Mt. Island Lake.
Look forward to Lake Norman, and Lake Wylie this spring.
