the arrow stripes are gonna be just like the ones in the pic of my jet skis on my profile pic. the purple and black one, and the bottom of the ski is gonna be white, and the rest is gonna be pretty much the same as the blue ski in my profile pic as well. gonna look sweet.
i found this video on youtube! its of the previous owner with my ski before i bought it from him. im an idiot and i traded a perfect stock 91 sn sj for it. but the way it is in the vid is how i got it. heres the link, this is the previous owner of my ski, i got it just like this! pretty sweet
heres the vid of the previous owner and my ski, i found this video and didnt know about it before.
a pic of my 750sxi pro and the superjet i traded for the 550 in the video.

this guy i traded the superjet with completly screwed me on this deal. the ski ran like SH^T after a couple hours and then i built it up with every mod possible, tuned it, and it ran flawlessly, but there was one problem, helfway through a ride, MY FLAME ARRESTOR BOLT FELL INTO THE INTAKE! BYE BYE jet ski. yep popped a hole in the case and both pistons. this happened 2 more times till i just threw a 750 in it and stopped screwing with the 550 engines. yes, i torqued it and loctited it the last 2 times it happened. no luck, overall $700 in screwups, and evend dumber i sold my fully built sxi to payn to fix and build this 550. so it all boils down to the ahole that traded me. shouda never done it, right now id have 2 perfect skis instead of one in progress moneypit - monster.

sweet.. BRAAP
ive got two lightened never ran, fresh off the lathe, balanced 650sx x2 flywheels. One is missing a magnet, asking $90 shipped, one is complete and even lighter than the other asking $140 shipped. the lighter one had a .4lb taken off the outsides and top, and the other about .3lb, that's how much group k lightens the 650 flywheels, so my friend did the same, he runs a lathe for a living and he knows what hes doing, so you can expect good quality.

i know what you were saying, the mid section, but with the hull shortened there will be a lot less stress when landing jumps, so id assume.. but all the body work is done, uploading pics tommorow night. looks freaking awesome, my uncles a body work genius!I wasn't referring to the bulkhead itself. But never mind. I I can find a pic I will post. Otherwise you will find it soon enough
ill get pics of the whole paint job when we finish dong the whole thing Saturday, and I ordered all my tuf, JRE conversion plate, transparent blue fuel line, transparent blue water cooling line, bildge hose, fuel filters, little odds and ends. Im going to paint the inside with some black walmart enamel, and when we get the ski back from paint ive got some fiberglassing to do in the back, then ill rough up and clean the interior, then black paint, turf, install engine and everything else, and go set it on the 2 and a half feet of ice on the lake lol here in Michigan. im going out as soon as it thaws, my dad wont approve but ill get out there. lol, dry suites are better than wetsuits for really cold water right?
