Hey all, i am having a really hard time finding a decent replacement cover for my 2001 challenger 14 that is not overly expensive. I know the "poppy covers" are very nice and a exact fit but, they are a little out of my budget. Is there a basic silver/gray cover out there in the sub 200 dollar price range that anyone can recommend?
Ive had the boat for a very long time and the person i purchased it from had included a basic gray cover from one of the common boating stores (basspro/west marine and so on). I just cant seem to find any part numbers or anything of the sort to identify the one i have (which after 9 solid years, finally ripped)
Thanks!

Hey all,
First off, i am not new to boating or the sport at all, i have been riding and racing pwc's for 10+ years and have been on the water my entire life. For a few years now i have wanted to pick up a sport boat however, my search long for a good condition boat for simply taking out the girlfriend/friends while the race skis are parked has ended. I stumbled across a MINT very low hour garage kept 2001 Challenger with the twin 720's this past weekend for a steal of a deal and i just could not pass it up. Its bone stock and the only problem so far is the gas gauge goes not work which, i am not worried about. However, i am worried about the oil injection system and had a few questions regarding it and impellers / wear rings.
1) Riva Racing sells oil block off kits for the 720 PWC's and i was curious if that is the same part needed for my boat? I am assuming that almost any 720 pwc part will fit the challenger and that the 720 motor platforms are the same? I am honestly not comfortable with the injection system and want to do the premix conversions for reliability.
2) Regarding impellers and wear rings, its going to need them both on both motors to be replaced because i am getting pretty major cavitation on both when trying to plain out. But, i am having a hard time finding a site the sells/has info on the parts needed. The wear rings are relatively easy to find but, i cant seem to find impellers other than stock ones which are crazy expensive. Anyone know of a good place to find the impellers/info on what size/pitch i need?
Thanks in advance for the replies and happy boating!!!
