$200 is what hes asking. Hes supposedly found a motor for $400. Still no trailer. I offered $100... he doesnt seem to interested in my offer, yet.

Worth $100 even? I know I could part it out for more than that...

I don't know about that. It seems you can get a fully functional one with a trailer between 700 and 1k, so I'm not sure how much you'd be really saving considering repairs.

Is it a 2 or 4 stroke?
Is it a 1 or 2 person?

a 94 is pretty old, I think you could find a newer one that runs at a good price.

My buddy had a pair of the yellow one that look very similar. They were 110 HP models and 2 seaters. Man they flew... 55-60ish.

I would think these are like 50 MP tops.

and?

How fast does it go with two fat people on it? Thats what I really need to know...lol

I would like one we both can ride at the same time.

I had a stand up/kneel one back in like 1998-99. It was pretty fast/cool but only 1 can have fun. Plus your always in the water...

there's no speedometer on it. but its comes close to keeping up with another one we have that does. id say it can hit 55. its more for one person and a kid than 2 adults. it's pretty unstable and will tip easily.

It would be a decent machine. If you could get it running fairly cheap I would say go for it but if you can find them between 700 and 1000 in running condition i dont know if it is exactly worth it. A model like that would be nice to ride. Any of them feel pretty fast, well, out of the hole atleast. I have riden some older ones that I would want to go faster, but i was born on the water and love speed.
