08 lsv problems?!

I am thinking of buying a 08 lsv from my dealership! I am aware that the owner was having trouble with the boat and was giving a second boat by his dealer, but still was having the problems! something about it going into power reduction mode while going down the lake! i guess for no apperent reason. i was wondering if this was happening to anyone else with an 08? and what was done if the porblem was fixed?

Probably the Catalyst Temperature Sensors. We had this occur on one side. The dealer replaced both sides just in case they were both from a bad batch. Never had the problem return since.

Sounds like you are buying someone else's headache. I'm sure the dealer did everything he could before he had to swap that boat out. If he couldn't fix it for the previous owner, what makes you think it will run fine for you? There are tons of boats for sale out there, I'd keep looking, unless the price of this one is absolutely unbelievable.

Maybe tell us which motor! Also, there was a recalibration done mid-summer to alleviate the CAT sensor issue! Perhaps you could speak directly to the previous owner and/or take the boat for a test drive! Oh, and welcome to the site!
