What are some of the most important lessons you learned during rebuilds?
There's a saying that good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. So what were some of your mistakes, regrets, or lessons learned? Which products or tools did you regret using...
I'm about to rebuild one of my RN superjets and i'm wondering if weight reduction modifications are really worth it.
I'm a 31 year old, 5'11" guy weighting 200 lbs without a full body wetsuit. Probably 210 lbs with a wet wetsuit and life vest. I work out a lot so i'm not light, but I don't...
What's the average rebuild time in man-hours?
I have the following tasks that need to be done
- Take everything off the hull
- Remove turf
- Sand down old paint, fix up hull scratches, and repaint everything
- Returf
- Put everything back into the hull
Long story short... i bought a modified 97 sj this may. Went for a ride twice, everything seemed fine. Then my gf went riding on it and after about 30 minutes it died. Then it wouldn't start. This superjet has a problem of getting water inside the engine bay... i still don't know where it comes...
Went riding last week and after about 30 minutes 97 SJ died and wouldn't restart. After cranking it countless times i decided to look at the spark plugs and this is what i found: milky residue on the rear cylinder spark plug and blackish liquid on the front spark plug.
After cleaning and...
What do you think? I want to convert my single place trailer with bunks to a flat trailer with places for two superjets. If i convert my trailer to a flat bed trailer, i'll be able to use it for other things as well. Does the hull take more stress if it's being towed on a flat surface as opposed...
Just bought a 97 SJ... it has been modified but I do not have a complete list of mods. Could you please look at the photos and tell me what this SJ has. If you can, please critique how things have been done... i think wiring is all messy, fuel lines are done in a messed up way, fuel reserve is...
Has anyone ever tried to make a trailer out of 80/20 aluminium extrusions? I'd like to have a trailer that i can disassemble for winter storage so it would not take too much space. It would be used for carrying two superjets.

Does something like this exist? I'd like to start modifying my 96 superjet but i am not sure exactly what exact purpose certain mods have, whats available and whats popular. What's the biggest website that has the widest available selection of mods with detailed descriptions?
For example... I...
1 - When nobody is pressing on the pole, should the pole spring keep it up? If i want the pole to stay up when i want to remove the hood, i must either hold it myself or ask someone to hold it.. otherwise it falls down. Is my spring ok or should it be replaced?
2 - When riding with one foot...
How far can you go on a full tank of gas at 50% throttle?
I think it can run at full speed of around 45-50 miles an hour for about 36 minutes according to the manual, which means it can travel for around 27 miles at full throttle.
Anyone ever tried to see how far you could go if you were to...
How thick are the tubing walls on bigfoot or tiger-tote beach carts?
The bunks are made out of 2" outer dimeter tubing which are 4 feet long, but what's the wall thickness? Could someone measure this please...
Anyone have FACTORY ZERO "LAUNCHER" 2-WHEEL TOTE? I would like to know how thick the aluminum tube extrusions are.... From the photos they look like they are square 1" extrusions, but i could be wrong. If anyone could measure the thickness of th upper extrusions, that would be appreciated.
I just got a 96 superjet and tried it out today for the first time. Never rode a stand up ski in my life and only rode a sit-down pwc once 13 years ago..
First impression was: "Wow, this thing is unstable!". I almost regretted buying it first time i tried it. It kept tipping over and i wasn't...
Does anyone have this? There was a link posted to drmike something.cm but it's not working anymore. If anyone has a PDF file that they can share it would be greatly appreciated.
