Jetskimechanic Mechanic School!!!

[jetskimechanic]

So I have been thinking of doing this a long time and now its going to happen!!! I am doing a Mechanical School for the Jetski Mechanics out there that want to learn what you need to learn!!! If your interested please email me or call for more details!!! Robert@Jetskimechanic.com

I have 2 classes available:

General Mechanics, that cover stock normal stuff.

Race Engine Building!! This is for the one that wants all the secrets etc!!! and the info on how to design and build a race or king of the lake motor!!!

You know your in good hands with me when other local shops use us for our Jetski knowledge!!! PEACE!!!

 

[MADMAT]

This could be great for some! I had the privilege of Korns brother (was teaching a power sports program at the time too!...and he is just a motorhead!) explaining a lot of stuff to me.....before skating to Cali...

My motors/skis since then are tight and they rip!

 

[zwaysfs]

DUDE i"m in SD what locations would you do it and how much would you charge

 

[jetskimechanic]

The new shop that we are moving to next week has a room perfect for the classroom stuff and an area up top for the engine hands on program!!! Prices are $2500.00 for the 2 week class for General rebuild and diagnosis... $5000.00 for the 2 week course that shows exactly how to build a race engine etc... Santa Clarita, Ca. is the location and there are many hotels in the area. More details are available if interested...

 

[MADMAT]

.....I feel even more thankful for Korns bro/my crew now.

Syllabus?

 

[zwaysfs]

yea no kidding I'm happy I can walk in Jeff Habercorn's shop ne time and use the shop and learn from him he is a mad scientist


2500 and 5000
is quite a bit what kind of certifications are being achieved whats the syllabus and whats the projected end result other then knowing a little more about your own motor and the theory behind race engines. would a graduate be able to go to a shop drop the name of you class or school and get hired as a an instructor my self 2500 to 5000 is wayyyyy to much

Jetskimechanic,
With all due respect and please do not take this in the wrong way, I think it is a bit overpriced unless you are getting some kind of state certification that will allow you to work as a 2 stroke mechanic in the industry. These "boot camp" school style of teaching works well in the IT industry. If you know your stuff you can get polished, get a cert, further your career and go out and make more money which is great.

In this industry, I dunno I may be wrong, but I don't see the demand being great specially being 2 stroke engines that are the target of the EnviroNAZIS. I can see someone like myself, an enthusiast that is hungry to learn everything there is to learn about 2 stroke engines enrolling in a course like yours but the price is a big turn off...now this is just me as I don't have that kind of money to spend and if I did i would probably be eying a Superjet off Craiglists instead.

But I do have a suggestion for you that perhaps can help your business as well as enthusiasts like myself.....Have you thought about doing something similar ONLINE? With the fast internet connections you can set up a video course online, manuals and anything else you can think off for a fraction of the price you are asking. Hey, you already have a cool website with a great name.....

This is just my opinion and I wish you the best of luck on your new Venture.


Peace!

WOW, Speechless.

I cannot believe what I just read from you both. Here is an idea, if you dont like it, great, fine, its your right, but instead of shooting off your mouth's, why not just look at the button you push when you are done typing at the bottom of the box.

Learn some respect.

 

[MADMAT]

I don't see any disrespect at all. Asking for more info and if it counts in the real world. And yes I can say that is a lot of money without being disrespectful.

But why bitch about the cost if you have no intention of going there? What does it gain, how does it help the sport. There may be somebody who wants to go and it may be worth every penny to somebody. You have access to somebody, many do not.

So no one question this 28 post guy about his 5k program, k. He can post about it but no one ask him details, k.

What, you've never heard of Robert Sand, "Jetskimechanic", of www.jetskimechanic.com?
He's an oldschool jetski shop and has been around for a number of years.

Your stretching that a bit, I did not see any real questions. Go to PWCToday and research Robert over there. He is not into the freestyle/freeride scene, he has been building race boads since the days of 440's/550's.

Just because you dont have 2000 post count does not invalidate what he may have to offer.

Questions are fine,

ex.

1. How many years have you been doing this work.
2. Can you list your qualifications.
3. Do you have access to specialty tools needed if I go into this line of work.
4. Do you offer any payment plans.
5. Can I bring a motor and during the course could we port it and assemble it as part of the training.
6. Can we actually build motors, install them into a ski and actually water test.
7. Need More?

But saying, I am glad I go DJ's brother to do my stuff does not belong in this thread, make a seperate thread talking about how good he is.

Saying, damn, $2500.00 for a week is too expensive is just disrespectfull. Borderline post dumping All posts must list an item’s price. (He is offering his services for sale. (Granted this is not in the for sale section but kinda falls under its umbrella)

 

[shawn_NJ]

Just from a finanical standpoint. I have been to 3 day training for my work that cost $8500, so 2 weeks of training for $2500/5000 seems very reasonable. If I ever was serious about building my own motors, I'd do the $2500 course in a heartbeat.

 

[MADMAT]

Why do I have to go research him...can't I just ask him questions here?

And yes now that you mention I have heard great things about him over the years.

Just wondering and commenting. Delete my comment about the price if you would like. It is price in line with a cert class....or just a class for someone who needs it without certs I guess.

Just wondering what it entailed. I am all for people learning how to ride and with that goes wrenching and not wrenching properly results in broken stuff and lost time soooo.

 

[SuperJETT]

George Grabowski used to run a similar deal and it was well worth the time/money involved.

 

[madscientist]

i'm interested and have my sisters place in ventura to crash at.

I tried to be as respectful as I could in expressing "my opinion". I am pretty sure there are 2 groups, the ones that will pay for it in a heart beat and the ones that will not. I am also sure each group will have dozens of reasons and this will go back and forth. Sorry I am part of the "Starving Jetskiers" group. I am not doubting Mr. Robert Sand's qualifications or skills, I am pretty sure He is quite the Genius when it comes to 2 stroke engines as his history tells.

I was also trying to be constructive in offering ideas as well, like the Online course. Sorry I am a cheap bastard and I cannot afford this course. But I will gladly take a lesser "learn at your own pace" type of Online material....I truly believe is a good idea that I hope Mr. Sand will at least look into it.....or perhaps someone else will.


Peace!

It's kind of hard to learn the tricks of the trade online, you need to be more hands on with some book learning to compliment...

I think this is a hell of a deal for anyone wanting to build their own motors.

Great deal for somebody...

seeing the offer comes a professional shop i feel the dumping protections don't apply as much and members should be allowed a bit more leeway.
he is trying to promote a business on a more private forum after all!
wth is it with" you know you're in good hands with me when ..."?
