    Hawaii Jet Skiing Laws Revamped for 2020

    I just got back from a 10 day trip to Kauai and O'ahu. While sitting on the beach, all I did was dream about riding those waves with my Jet Ski!...and stare at cheeky bikinis. From what I remember reading on the forums, PWCs are very limited in use on the islands. Mostly harbors and tow in...

    It's Winter - What do you collect?

    Most stand up riders are into everything mechanical, electrical, fast, powerful, or fun. So the question is, What do you collect...besides Jet Skis? Whether it be vintage or new. I think a common theme is things from your childhood. I grew up riding mopeds and snowmobiles. Was big into RC...

    I've seen this floating around the Instagram boaters pages. Finally found some facts on them. Think this will translate well to jet pumps? https://www.nationalmarine.com/new-high-efficiency-propeller-sharrow-engineering/

    Will the river ever go below flood stage?

    I'm up here in Wisconsin, on the Mississippi River, waiting for the river to go below 10ft. Every day I check the link and weather. We just passed the longest flood stage period on human record. It hasn't been the highest, just consistent with the snow melt and rain. Mississippi River La...

    Beach Cart Hook on the cheap

    My Jet-Lift strap tore hauling fat sit downs up a hill this past summer, so I needed a replacement! 1. Get a 3/8"x 8" or longer Stainless Steel Eye loop from your local hardware store. 2. Remove the Nut, and bend it into a hook by doing small bends every 1/4" until it looks like below. A...

    Second Drain Plug under the Exhaust

    I've seen Bullet Hulls with two drain plugs, one on each side. The Stock SXR Exhaust outlet is very large and would have to be modified for the drain to fit under it. The Benefit is the SXR sidewalls and tray are "Wet". Water can get stuck on the right side of the hull and never drain out...

    No matter what a sit down rider tells you, never ride two dudes on a couch.

    I don't know if there's a generic Jet Ski wisdom thread, but I was out riding the other day and kept telling myself "No matter another jet skier tells you, never ride directly into the sunset" as I rode directly into the sunset glare. Yeah it's a play on the Chris Rock song. Lets start a...

    Best $40 spent on my SXR, Pump Shoe Fill

    I did the Pump Shoe fill this past week, and rode all weekend in buoys chasing other boats. I cannot get over how much this simple mod made a difference in the continual hookup of my stock boat. I'm using a stock plate and intake grate. I didn't notice any jet wash walking/cavitation while...

    Want to add Ada Non Girdled Head and Zero Flywheel, is 91 safe?

    I currently have one mod done to my stock engine, the temp sensor jump. That puts my SXR at a 6 degree advance. I want to keep my boat running 91 octane (available all over Wisconsin) and not have to do any carb tweaks to boot! So will adding a non girdled Ada head rated at 180psi/91 octane...
