Any tips my first ski

dysofisho · 01-25-2010, 07:29 AM

Hey there every one. Have just bought my first ski, 04 f12x
Have had the macboost chip installed by the dealer I bought it from. It goes like a scolded cat. Have noticed that the 215 seadoos leave me behind in any form of choppy water. Can someone help me. Is this ski design as they have more of a vee shaped hull than the honda, and they are heavier or is it rider skill?? what is your experiences?
Just to qualify this I ride in the oceanwith the other skis.

Keep the TURBO SPRAYED with CRC 656 and the wastegate.......And read the FAQ section at the top, all your questions will be answered there

To help run with the seadoos you will need:

Intercooler (macs)
solas intake grate
sponsons.....jet wings or worx
splash guard
solas 17/29 prop

And loose some weight............lol

Actually, he'll need the entire Macsboost kit.....the module, IC, & Solas 17/29, and free mods.

thanks for the tips so far. has any body got any comments on why the 215,S get away only in choppy water, cause I can keep up easily in the smooth water.

Dude that saying is "OLD" and lame, and only one uses that saying...... and we put him on ignore! Why don't you try to contribute to the conversation, buy giving some rider advise or your expierances skiing, rather then say somthing stupid thats old and played, it just makes you look stupid, like the person who came up with that saying.

For dependability and gas (ride time) I think Honda is the best you can get. But for stock speed it's lacking pace with the others. Broke is right on with his adv. The macs boost stage II with the pump wedge helps me keep up with some of the other brands. I have it on my 04R12x. Some will gripe about the speed, me included, but I love to ride all day so I guess the trade off is worth it to me. Good luck with your ride.
