If you need a spare 550, I have a friend in Mobile with 2 he needs to part with. Both need work and 1 has a pipe on it.

What is worse than waiting on parts is when they are lost while shipping. I bought an intake duct and grate for me '94 Raider two weeks ago. Fedex scanned them in Orlando but tracking shows it never left. They are looking for it but I have little hopes that they will finding it. Chris at Ride On in Destin says he has what I need so hopefully Tuesday I will be able to have this thing back together.

Yes, I would like to join you guys. I also have a friend who has a '90 SJ. He is on this forum, but just hasn't posted in our local forum yet. I am pretty sure he would like to join as well.

!!!!! I am not having luck with this ski! The first intake duct gets lost in shipping. I go to Destin to pick up another. After spending 5 hours worthing of driving and waiting, I get home to find out that first of all, it is cracked and then second of all that the duct isnt even for my ski. I noticed it had 6 bolts on the back for the grate and mine had 4. He said it would work. Find out that it is for a 155mm pump and not my 144mm pump. So now I get to drive back to Destin on Thursday to get this one swapped out. Maybe one day I will have this ski running again.

Dang man. When stuff like this happens to me, I always say, "you live, you learn" and it doesn't happen again. I have a Waverunner III that you can pull things from if you need to. I'm by West Florida Hospital.

Well, just got back from try number two with Chris of Ride On Motorsports. No go. We were supposed to meet up yesterday as we agreed on Wednesday. I was pulling out of my neighborhood and gave him a call before I fully committed to the hour and a half drive. He tells me it is his son's birthday and he can't meet me. He should of told me this on Tuesday or Wednesday. So we agree that I meet him at 7am this morning. I got stuck in traffic for two hours on 98 due to a wreck. I called him around 8:30 as I was running really late and I knew he had work at 9. We agreed that he would leave it outside the door of this shop. I get there 10-20 minutes later and there is nothing outside the door. I call him and he says someone must of stolen them. I am calling BS as the time frame was really short and there are two other skis with a few parts sitting outside. I think he is just giving me the run around. I asked if he would just give me my money back since I dont want to waste a third trip to get the part. He does not want to. Says he is out parts too. So I guess I can try to take him to small claims court.

gimmick, are you the guy that is helping Jim with his SJ? Would that WR III have a duct and grate that would work on my Raider? I live really close to you, off of Scenic near Ellison Industrial. Thank you.

EDIT: if the duct and grate from the WR III doesn't fit a 701 Raider, anyone know of anyone else local with one? Thanx.
