Last year I bought a 88 WR 500 that didn't run. I'm no mechanic, but it was dirt cheap, $250 for the ski and 1997 Karavan trailer that I wanted for my 760, and I thought it might be a good learning project. The motor threw a rod and the damage cost more to repair than replacing the motor. The motor was $400. Right now I am fixing the hull and getting ready to paint it. There are some odds and ends that I'm looking for, like graphics, trim pieces, etc. If any of you old timers, have any of that stuff laying around. Please drop me an email. I will try to post some pictures of the progress of my project later.
