        1990 is the first SX. But they were still piston port motors.

        1989 Wet Jet - Upgraded 1994 50 HP motor & exhaust. 45 MPH, yee ha!

              I'm certainly no expert, but I agree that something seems odd. I thought the SX hulls were "stepped" in the rear, and the FE hole was on the left side; the rear exhaust in an alcove of sorts with an open starboard side. Perhaps I'm thinking of a different year SX (mine came without a HIN)

              Regardless, it's a wicked machine!

                PJ you’re correct, It is not an SX hull. The right side end cap also doesn’t jive.


                Don’t fret though.... this is a super clean looking ski that appears to have been built well. Someone will certainly be happy.

                  Agreed!

                  I can only dream of putting the time and effort into mine to look that good ... never going to happen. LOL

                    I have to agree with both y'all. SUPER nice ski. You start adding up parts and then hours upon hours of labor to make one pretty..........

                    No excuses for anybody looking now. Got this nice one in the Northeast, and the one MrSki is offering in the Southwest!
