I'm picking up a 2000 302z finally. Any known issues on the 302's i should look for before I make the final transaction?

    Look it over closely for lack of maintenance issues. At about 500 hours the gamble ring gets sloppy on all boats.

    Yes, the 302 has had a major running issue for years. The issue is best described as a mix of jealousy and envy. LOL

    Congrats! You will love it. I have the baby brother version, the 275, and it is awesome.

    Sceptre,

    Which 302 did you buy? Was it one for sale on one of the big sites (ebay, iboats, craigslist, boat trader)?

    Check out this link for Oregon's list of upgrades - you'll get just a bit jealous:
