I have a 97 spx (787cc = 110hp) that is like brand new. I recently took it to virginia beach watercraft (seadoo dealer) and had them replace the fuel sending unit ($257) and their exact words were "this is one of the cleanest skis we have ever seen, we get skis in here that are one year old and this one is in better shape then most of those, you can eat off of any part of it". I looked for 2 years for a 97-99 spx in near perfect shape before I found this one. It needs absolutely NOTHING, everything works 100% and she fires right up with no problems. This is a very saught after model. It's not the fastest on the top end (@56mph) but it's one of the fastest acceleration wise. I have an rxt that tops out close to 70mph but this spx destroys it on a buoy course because of it's great turning ability and holeshot. It comes with a nearly new single trailor. The ski has been freshwater used only and very well taken care of. I'm not desperate to part ways with it so the price is NON-NEGOTIABLE and I'm not up to trading it for anything.

$2,800 takes the ski and trailor (package is worth atleast $3,200). There is also a cover included.
I'll post pictures after the weekend. The ski is at Lake Gaston in a garage and I don't have any pics on hand.


PS- this ski does not have an hour gauge on it but when it was at virginia beach watercraft they were able to tell me it definitely had less than 80 hours on it. The previous and original owner was in his late 50's and he said he hardly ever rode it because it scared him.

Here is NADA (that doesn't factor in the condition of this ski and the popularity of it).

Bump

 

bump

 

I'll bump this thread 2 more times and if I still have it then I'll just keep it.

 

Na, last bump. I'll be bringing the ski back from Gaston on Monday and if it's not sold by the following weekend then I'll just take it back to Gaston and keep it.

 

The ski is back and ready to be sold. I had several interested buyers pm me on here at $2,800 asking price. Since then I have had a new motor mount and oil injector installed and there is still 2 months of bareback riding season left. I can let her go with the trailor for $2,200 due to needing fundage and lack of storage after this month.

 

Will you take a trade for a 2003 Honda 300EX 4Wheeler and some cash from my end?

 

I can't trade because I have no where to store anything like that after this month and plus I need the money to invest into my house. Thanks for the offer though.

 

can you take some pics please? I'm interested

 

where are the pictures you promised us?
