Re: sl 650 is it a pile
I would just keep it. I was in the same boat (no pun intended) with my 94 sl 750. I found that after all the work that I did that I would be lucky to break even. There is just not a high demand for them. If you are doing all the work yourself you might as well just get your time spent on it back by racing around the water. I guess if you have a strong offer for it sell. -
Re: sl 650 is it a pile
I would fix it up and sell it to get your money back. I got a 94 sl750 that was running for free probably 5 years ago. Since then i probably spent $3k on it. The fuji motors are not the greatest when modified, at least from what i understand from reading these forums. Stock there OK if you address the fuel issue.
It is by far the most fun hull that i have ever ridden, but with polaris out of the watercraft business, parts will eventually become harder to find at reasonable prices.
As for the performance aspect, all i can tell you is that mine tops out just under 50. Yours will probably be a little shy of that.Comment
