Here's a picture of all 3 I have had at once. Top 1 sold to jetski collector, middle one is 41 and is for sale, bottom one is out of the crate and not for sale. This was over the last 4 years, I'm no longer searching for them.

Number 41 is for sale. I don't need 2 of them. 3 now in the USA. All imported by me. For those asking what shipping from Japan was and customs around 3k, plus crating and other fees. 10k firm.

Well, to our surprise #1 of 300 shows up today still in the crate just like my ski. Great to see it. Yes it's in Japan. Remember #41 is available for sale.

Now's your chance to purchase number 41/300. If you're on this page then you know all about them. Japan only 98 Memorial Edition 82-98 ski. Ski has been water tested for leaks, along with engine compression testing good. Ski will need a new steering cable which I can handle if needed.

Overall condition is 8.5 out of 10. The ski was ridden as someone's normal ski. It has the start stop button on pole to activate the bilge pump (only mod I can find). All stickers that weren't factory where removed and cleaned Videos walkaround available if needed. This is the lowest number I have found out of the 3 I have imported to USA.

Taking offers - remember that shipping, crating, customs and handling fees are north of 5k without the price of the ski. Definitely for the right collector. Now's your opportunity to own a piece of history for your collection.

Can crate and ship to continental United States or pickup in Tampa Florida. Anywhere else you arrange shipping and prepay before it leaves. Only reason for sale is have found one in the crate and I don't need 2. Would consider trading for a late model sit down.

If it doesn't sell, we are thinking about having a raffle for 200 people at $100 each. Some proceeds to Charity as well.

Number 41 for sale! Here's an opportunity!

This is one the LAST of the 550 models made, and they were only sold in Japan. I have imported this ski directly from Japan and have it in my possession. It is number 41 (See plate in Pictures) of 300.

My good friend Dakota, also a page admin, was able to find this. Very Rare 1998 owners manual in the plastic.

The Big Day. Probably the only guy in the US, and likely the planet that has 2 1998s. It takes a lot of work, research, time, determination, translators, money and relationships to even find one of these skis. Honored and Blessed to have both of these in my collection. Look at the album for clean up pictures.
