This morning I woke up at 5 and drove almost 2 hours to meet a seller about 1/2 way and brought home a 1987 650sx. At 20 degrees I really didn’t want feel like fooling with it and this guy seemed...

Thank you.

I just leave them and put nuts on them. The bolts that come in the block off plate kit go into the bolt bucket.

Anyone happen to know the fuel tank size in a 1998 Xi Sport 750? I have searched here and google and haven’t got an answer. I’ve got the block off plate ordered and would like to just add oil to...

I’ve been looking for one for years. I’ve came across a few but the timing hasn’t worked out.

And I thought a fX1 was hard to find. Great idea. I’m interested in learning about some of the other oddballs.

Tonight we had 8 or 9 skis out. I didn’t have the patience to get a good picture but I did snap a quick shot of most before we took off. It’s always nice to meet new riders too. ...

YES!!! I’m getting tired of the Tattoo trend. I don’t mind them really but now everyone has a few and it’s just kinda pointless to me. I can’t think of the last time I saw one I thought looked good. ...

I miss the X-games in general but haven’t seen them in years. The in-line very & BMX street was the best. That was the only thing I ever watched on ESPN. Recently watched a documentary somewhere...

I should have added that I have also had a couple SP’s, a RXP, & a GTX to compare to the XP. Like most people the X4 is my preference in the seadoo line.

I’m my opinion all the above are similar in stability. Underway they are a fun and playful ride. At a stop or idle they can be a little tipsy but honestly two 225ish pound adults should be able to...

Here is the latest toy on its maiden voyage. We needed something for the youngest daughter to ride and the battery cost more than the ski. Hopefully the kids and neighbors will destroy the hull so I...

A guy down the lake had 4 skis on Craigslist that had all sat for at least 6 years. When I called last week all were spoken for. The next day the seller called and asked if I wanted to look at a...

I am still a little bummed out about the HX being locked up. The HX, XP, X2, & Blaster are the only sit down skis that I find interesting.

The sit down made it to the water tonight and it was a hit with the whole family. I had the honor of taking my 8 month old daughter on her first ride. The ski smoked a bit at first but soon cleared...

Lanyard????

I’d like to know the answer to this also.

This one gets good.

The HX turned out to be locked up in a bad way. I was planning to sell enough parts to pay the dump bill and gas. The guy that gave it to me sent a message wanting to know...

Free 1996 Seadoo HX... I noticed an ad for jet skis & trailers yesterday on Craigslist during my daily search for a trailerable cabin cruiser. The photo was a familiar house I pass daily just down...

Agree.

I have also wondered the same. The only reason I came up with is the constant movement of the ski would bounce the float switch around and prevent it from functioning as designed. Running it dry may...

Looks like a nice ski. Bars, finger throttle, rear exhaust, turf, & paint indicate someone invested a lot of time & money into it. What’s under the hood?

I the past month has been worth the cost of re-entry into this hobby. I have rode with old friends that I haven’t spent enough time with, met about 5 other riders and rode with them multiple times, ...

Sourdough all the way.

It’s been a long 2 weeks.
Ever had kidney stones?

I had a 550 that ran the exact same way after a SBT motor swap. I never got it sorted out and sold it. This was my only experience with SBT.

I think they may be fun in 10-15 years when they are affordable. I would rather have 8 550's or 3 fx1's for the same price.

Have you ever picked up a girl on a PWC? I have never tried. I...

That looks great. Have you had any problems winching it in and out? This is vary similar to what I have in mind if we go with a floating dock. Can I ask who installed yours since we are both in NE...

Lets try this again. My gangway is actually about 36' long now and it does float due to the changing lake level. and the main floating dock is 10'X10'. I have had two skis on it...

Good reason to shave them.

Do you prefer electric or manual razors?

Here is my current dock.

The constitution of these looks great for cold climates where they could be pulled out during winter.

Yes sir.

Forget the GoPro! I’d have a bikini, a sandwich & a 6 pack with me. Haha

I will be building or buying a dock in the next year or two and can not decide if I want an aluminum floating dock or a fixed wooden dock. I have been weighing out the advantages of each for a year...

I hated those colors in the 90’s but now I love it. I saw this ski in another thread recently and couldn’t stop looking at it. Beautiful.

They are alive! After fresh fuel, new batteries, a little carb cleaning, & some grease I couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t run. After checking spark, fuel, and a lot of fussing & cussing in the...

I just rescued these from 6 years of hibernation.

I agree with your assumptions. That seems logical.

Is there any other difference i can look for to confirm it is a 1982? I’m stoked to find its a first year 550.

Yep the left side is fiberglass patched. The right rear below the bond line is open where it was drilled out for a rear exhaust too. It’s plugged in the engine compartment next to the battery tray...

I will take it on two conditions.

1. It has to have true flames.
2. It has to have a trailer hitch to tow a 550.

Harley's are like jet skis there are no cheap one's. Either pay for a nice...

Here are a couple pictures of my first 550. Maybe someone has seen it around.

[QUOTE=PrickofMisery;4562559]Welcome back man.... again. ;)
That 550, I have some history for you too.... it’s not an 82. All that red under color is a dead give away. What are the last two digits...
