Mine is a 94 sts, decals are gone but can see the outline when I wax it. They made composites with square windshields from 94 til 98. 20K is crazy, should be closer to 7K. Its been an awesome boat,...

I am a fan of the old school lines of these boats and looked specifically for a composite comp classic for 2 years (finally bought one last spring), I remember seeing this boat in my search. I had a...

I agree, whenever buying from somewhere other than your home state where you don't know the rules make sure you know what you need. The whole 'another country' thing just kind of added another layer...
I threw the few pix I have in an album in my profile
Now that summer is gone in the pacific nw (like someone flicked the switch), I thought I would share my experience getting my boat from canada to the states so nobody else gets to experience the...
I think the comp is just a noisy boat......not a problem for me, I like it!
If your 92 has the round windshield it will be a composite, if it has the square windshield probably not is the general...
Well, found the leak...the hard way. My bilge pump took a crap and I wasn't paying attention and I had about 8" of standing water in the bilge! When I adjusted the stuffing box I either got it too...
No, wood platform but the rest is pretty much spot on. Towed a skier this weekend and at 30 on a plane it is smooth as silk, just the part throttle thing. The guy I towed is a pretty seasoned slalom...
Yes, exactly. It doesn't feel like anything is wrong necessarily, it just resonates. The loud exhaust is actually one of the things I enjoy about the boat, my wife says it doesn't sound like anyone...
Well, after a little work I love my comp!
I did some optional things like fluids, filters, cap, rotor, coil, tinted the windshield and some mandatory things like new batteries, tighten up the shaft...
Tried to post these yesterday but somehow screwed up. All cleaned up and ready to spend some time on the water.

Yup, I'm about an hour south of Seattle so the trip was just on the edge of an overnighter. I was surprised to find snow and ice on the road going there and it slowed me down a little, pretty nice up...
Huge thanks to Crystal Waters, road trip indeed!
I left saturday am at 6 and got back saturday night at 10:30 but the boat is in my garage. Nicest one I have seen and it is all 'glass except the...
Well, I made an offer and we aren't far apart on a price on this thing. I am hoping against hope that there aren't any cracks in the motor, the oil wasn't milky and it had been run for a few minutes...
OK, went and saw this boat, now I need advice....
The good:
It is a 97 composite comp classic with the square windshield, the only wood I could find was in the motor cover, everything else is...
First of all, thanks for clearing this up for me. I have been looking for an old school square windshield comp for several years but the wood stringers scare me away from any boat that isn't spotless...
Wow, I'm glad I asked. I was under the impression anything built after 93 was composite, that would have been a big mistake. What would I look for to be sure if I do make the trip to look at it?
More confused than ever now, I thought the transition year was '92???
How do I know?
Crap, I thought all of them after 93 were composite. How do I know, is it obvious? The boat is about 2 hours from me and I am going to try to check it out this weekend but don't know what exactly to...
Kind of the way I was thinking too. From what I am reading it isn't a question of "if" but "when" you have to do stringers in the older boats, correct?
The boat in question is a '97, as I...
I am going to buy a comp soon and am torn. Which would be better, a pre '92 wood boat in really good shape w/low hours or a later model classic/sts composite boat in so-so condition with 700 or so...
93 comp with over 1000 hours. Run or consider?
Boat looks to be in terrific shape and it is all glass but man, lots of hours....
What does this do to the value? What issues start popping up?

Thanks for the replies, I didn't think about the steering cables. I have read about the switch to all fiberglass in '92 and would definitely prefer that but there is just something about the straight...
I'm a new guy and if all goes well will be joining the supra gang soon. Over the last couple of years at my lake place I have been losing interest in the PWC stuff and started considering a boat.
