ok, so picked up a 97 slt 780 today for 450, decent asthetic condition.... 3 things:

1. center jug only has 50 compression.... i figure just replace the cylinder or have it honed depending on the damage.... can anyone chime in if there is a bigger problem with this model, or if i should just sell the thing before i lose my ass? we put it in the lake today and it ran, but its been sitting for a year or so but i believe was winterized before that back in 9/2010...

2. the winterizing tag thats on it says 235 hours.... is this the life span of this machine, or does it have some life left?

3. i've owned boats, but what do i need to do to winterize this thing for outdoor storage (wisconsin). do i have to drain water from certain places, or what? thanks for the help and i'm sure i'll be around this forum quite a bit over the winter

thanks for any info guys!
