I'm looking at purchasing a '90 650sx. I think the price is right, and I'm looking forward to doing some work on it, but want to make sure nothing's out of line. The price is around $500 (negotiating) and it supposedly only has a bad stator but is otherwise sound. What bothers me more is that there's a crack in the upper hull, right below the hood, all the way down to the bumper rail. It's right in the curve where it goes from "vertical" to "horizontal".
Not so much worried about the crack itself, as I can fix that, but whether this is part of a bigger issue. Are these hulls known to crack? Are there common fixes that can be done, such as glassing in some re-enforcement on the inside of the hull?
I'm new to the forum, and (oh boy, here we go) more of a boater than a jetskier, but want something to play on. Thanks for any and all help.
