- Pay special attention to fuel system integrity and steering responsiveness during the sea trial if you are considering a Speedster, Challenger, Sportster, or Fishhawk model from this era.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect ignition protection and bulkhead sealing on 2003 Sportster models, as these were subject to fire risk campaigns.
