I'm looking at buying a second (and third) ski today and wondering what I need to be careful about. I'm looking at a 1998 Tigershark 1000 cc. I've seen it run. Seems to run fine, however, "Soft plugs??" are out of it. According to the current owner the prior owner tried to run it with the "Soft plugs" out and a bilge pump. I'm not sure how much work we're talking about, but I've seen what he calls "soft plug" that need to be put back in. Any ideas?

I'm going to take the deal as the second one is a '97 Tigershark 1000cc, only 20 hours on the new motor in good running condition. Whole works and double trailer for $2,000.
