Hello everyone I am a new member and recently acquired an older Waverunner.
I have attached a picture of it and have more images if they are needed.
I would like some help figuring out what year this Waverunner is.
*I have done some research online and read that I could read a plate on the back of it and the last 2 numbers will tell me the year. I looked it over right before dark and do not remember seeing a plate, I plan on looking at it again this evening.
I am also debating if it is feasible to semi restore this and how hard it might be to find the parts that are needed. I was thinking about using eBay to hunt down various parts if possible. Any other sources that you would recommend?
The motor and most components seem to be in pretty good shape. It looks like the body could use a bit of TLC & restoration during the winter months. It also needs a new hood, air cleaner / carb cover, and a few other misc things.
I need to find a manual for it, possibly a free one online as well.
Anyway I am hoping that some of you could give me some advice and point me in the right direction. The idea is to get this thing running and keep it on our family lake.
I figure that I can start hunting for some parts and whatnot once I figure out what year this thing is, provided that you all do not think that it would be a waste of time or a big money pit.
Thank you in advance!
