A combination of flat water messing around, teaching people how to ride a standup and also head to the surf fairly often. I do notice my 750sx leans and carves while my 05 SJ stays a bit flat in turns. I've only had the 05 SJ for two weeks now...

I just bought a mint 05 SJ with nice mods but have an opportunity to get an 08 for a few hundred more. The skis essentially have the same mods. Should I entertain selling my 05 for an 08?

Thanks for the feedback. Just trying to learn a few tricks to keep a pristine ski in great shape.

I haven't given this much thought till now. I'm hoping to get a nice well cared for pristine ski and want to keep that way. I read in so many ads of skis "never beached", etc. How do you guys ride so often and not beach a ski? Even when I launch from the trailer I pull my ski off to the side...

I'd buy it in a flash if it were a bit closer.

I replaced a stator two years ago on a 650 and now need to do the same on my 750. I forget what tools are needed. Do I need a flywheel puller or a magneto puller of some sort?

Step 1: - WX-1Wamiltons Intake Grate ( Freestyle ) - Skat-Trak 12/17 - Wamiltons Ride Plate - Wamiltons Stubbie Cone Step 2: - ADA Head Kit w/ 35 cc domes - MSD Enhancer - Bilge Pump Step 3: - V-FORCE Reeds - Wamiltons Flame Arrestor Air Filter w/ Adaptor - U.M.I Steering system, w/...

You know how it goes. No one needs a new ski but I want one. My two skis now are good, fun, reliable but I've got the itch for a newer ski. Might as well give a sweet SJ a shot rather than getting a newer 750sx or an SXR. From what I have read seems that the styles of the SXR and SJ are very...

Well of course I am thinking rationally and as a skeptical buyer....05 (going on 6 years old), all salt water use and knowing you never get all the money back from modding a ski/car/boat, etc. I'm thinking $4500 but have a feeling that will not be accepted!

So the 05 with mods I referenced, what do you think it is worth? Bought new in 07 and only has been ridden about 20x. It's in immaculate shape and does have nice mods. Says all the receipts are 10K and asking $7,000 and is at $6,000. Doesn't "need" to sell but doesn't have time to ride.

Man, I gotta get a SJ if it is that much better than what I am use to. As a weekend warrior I try to be budget minded and think about how much more fun would I be having on a 5K ski rather than my 92 modded sxi. I love my ski and think it is all I need but I do think adding a SJ would be a...

09 new for $6300. I can't see spending that much on a stock ski. The search continues. There is a really nice well modded 750sxi for "only" $2000. Is a SJ worth more than double cost in the fun factor dept?

Yea, the search continues. Something good will pop up eventually.

Ah, I wasn't ready to buy today (but within a week or two) but the 08 is gone. Just how much is a 2010 SJ anyway? Any leftovers around??

Think the 05 with mods can be "had" for 5900 or so and the stock 08 for about 4500.
