1996 polaris slx 780, identical hull and seating to the 785 pro (but decals and engine different to the 785). Always use 91 non-ethanol and amsoil synthetic) still oil injected. I am the 2nd owner. 1st owner lived farther north toward wisconsin rapid/point area. Since my ownership i finished with a rebuild that was started/attempted, i also installed a new float/driveshaft hull bearing (driveshaft was original and pristine so i reinstalled and greased. Replaced steering boot last year. I also removed handlebar pad and gauge cluster which didn’t work and put a protaper pad on. I still have pad and gauge if wanted along w/ old float bearing which is also usable. I installed new blacktip traction footpads, revinyled seat and new sponsons during the whole covid crisis. Price is for pwc/ jetski only. For a seperate price a single place trailer could be sold if needed but 2place trailer in pictures is not for sale.
Some youngbloods might wonder, is it fast? It gets on plane instantly once warmedup and sometimes can want to rip my hands off the hand grips, so it has good thrust and all horses. Probably tops out at 65 mph. So i would say fast enough. New battery and recharging cord installed. The cart in last pictures i would include in price. No spam or scam, codes etc. CALL if serious interest. We can arrange a time to laketest if serious interest. I live about 10 min from lake. Call nine20 fivetree9 fiftysix57.
