no problem..

I am not an expert but I was in the same position as you a few month ago. I wanted a 14ft speedster mainly because I could store it inside my garage. I ended up getting a 18ft Challenger because of the dual engines and also because it can carry up to 8 people vs the 4 people on the 14ft. The Challenger also fits inside the garage.

Claudio: Got that figured out now, was talkin the 14 footer, now know the Challenger has more H.P. Can you tell me what year they introduced the stainless jet pump impellers?, & I am sure the older aluminum?, can be retrofitted?. Also what year did they add the remote "weed Cleaner", on the water intake & can the older boats be retrofitted with that option????????. Were the older, (96-99) 85 H.P. engines oil injected, & did they have a lot of problems with those oil pumps?
Thanks

I don't know about the impellers but I do know that you can always upgrade them to the SS once. You might as well change the pitch too so you can get a little more performance out of the boat. Solas make some nice ones for our boats depending on what year boat you have.

I think the weedless system was added starting on 1997 and i don't thing it can be added to older boats.

Yes all two strokes engines are oil injected via a mechanical pump. My boat is an 1997 with 120 hours and has had no problems. Some people don't like them but to me is to much of a pain to go pre-mix
