low cost boating,well that is what i told myself when i got it anyway. i traded a bike for it so no out of pocket money to get it. just ordered cables, carb kit, water pump kit, manual, plug, aluminum paddles, fuel line, dock lines, anchor lines, anchor, pfd's, throwable floatation, vynil name,ear muffs, battery, tires, and lights for trailer with wiring all for just under 750 bucks. now to do the work and get the registration and paperwork. hope it is all worth it, i really do want to get out on the water and learn how to water ski, go fishing, and just cruise. oh and i performed the vaseline trick on the paint and it has done very well on bringing out the ugly color of my boat.
