I've had water 3/4's of the way up the engine block on my Speedster 150 (same engine). The engine's are sealed on these boats - however if water got over the top of the engine then it can go down the dipstick. Check your oil for any water. You may need to take the heads off and see if there are is any water in the cylinders.

It's much better to spend an hour or two making sure no water got in your engine than to ruin it by running it and not checking...could cost a lot to repair.

Welcome! You got a deal!! Post up some pics of your new boat. I have an '07 too with the 155 and it has been amazingly reliable, I don't run it hard and rarely take it above 5,300rpm. It has hundreds of hours at cruise speeds (wakeboarding) and I am so glad I didn't get the supercharged engine - I've heard nothing but problems with those.

I have an '07 155hp and I noticed the exact same thing last summer! It only happens when you put 2 or 3 people on the stern, then the rubrail goes underwater and the water comes in a pretty good clip...that seriously shouldn't be happening. It hasn't posed an issue since then though and the boat stays in the water for 6 months out of the year.

Wow - thank you Kevin and the SDSB crew! I'm glad you enjoyed my review! It's exciting to see it on the Frontpage news, it was a lot of fun to write. I had 5 summers of footage of the Speedster and this opportunity finally gave me the nudge I needed to compile the footage into a neat little video.

I'll shoot you a PM, thanks again and keep the reviews coming guys!

I posted my in-depth review and video of the 2007 150 Speedster with the 155hp Rotax.

It was fun to reminisce on my time with the Speedster, I look forward to seeing more reviews of other Sport Boats!
