I found a 1996 Tigershark with a 900cc motor. The guy says he fogged the engine and it has been sitting out in the elements for the past 2 years since. We get a lot of rain and moderate snow in the winter.
The thing is filthy and there is rain water inside the hull.
I can pick it up for $450. Is it worth it? If I do get it, where do I begin to get it running?
I will drain the gas first and put new spark plugs in it. Do you think it would be safe enough to hook up a new battery and turn it over to test compression without doing anything else first?
I will probably suck out the little bit of water and debris from the hull with the shop-vac and do a thorough cleaning on the outside.
I figure the trailer it sits on is worth something, so even if the ski is shot, I can sell the trailer and get a little money back.
Any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks
