Hey West MI folks. It's colder than crap out, but the waves are rocking. They are blown and messy but big. I am trying to get a few guys together to ride at 4:00 this afternoon(might get there a touch before that). I'm not riding alone so would like to come up with a few people to ride with...

What have you guys used for trailer bunks? Mine are junk. I have thought about a few different things. Thought about PVC, but I have to span about 3' gaps between supports on my trailer and the PVC wouldn't be strong enough. My carpeted wood bunks always need to be re-carpeted to stay...

My hull is leaking after my re-foam. I used dow foam on the bottom half so hopefully it's not too soaked. I think Matt E or someone had installed some small drains in the back of his hull. I don't have room below my exhaust and scupper for big drains and was trying to come up with...

I have a hull I am painting this week and have some very minor spots to touch up on the hull before paint. Normally I have some light weight body filler I use and then I use very small amounts of spot/glazing putty on air pockets or stone chips. On my ski I actually had the filler I used on...

The paint on my motorcycle tank pretty much shrivelled up and came off. Luckily it is under the gas filler cap and you can't see it. However, it is rusting really bad under there and starting to creep up where I will be able to see it soon. Is there any spray paint that I can use that will...

My "real" boat has a problem. I have a '98 Checkmate 253 Convincor with a std. carbed 454. This spring I noticed a couple times that it would miss. By the end of the year it started to do it every 5 to 10 minutes. It only occurs while idling down channels at around 1000 rpm. At speeds it...

How come Parr didn't ride at the WF? Wasn't Lee Stone going to be on a Matrix or am I making that up? I didn't see anyone on a matrix on Saturday from what I could see on the crappy live feed.

Anyone install these new destroyer tubbies yet? Just looking for feedback on how you like the handling. The past boats I've ridden with tubbies have a lot of chine walk on flat water. I'm not a big fan of this. Any input from experienced riders would be helpful. Chad

I have an '06 636 and need new treads. I am looking at Dunlop Qualifiers because I can get a great price on them locally. My '06 came with a 120/65 front. The Qualifier only shows a 120/60 or 120/70 being available. Any idea if I have the clearance to run the 70, or will the 60 be my better...

Waves are supposed to be 3-5. I have the day off and was tempted to head to Port Sheldon if anyone wanted to ride. Was hoping to head out there by noon. Waves are suppose to diminish. Chad

I officially think I have the most gay screen name on the X. I really need a new screen name, but I have come to the conclusion that I'm just not creative. I've been thinking about switching it to grindswithjetski

I will be in LA for the day and thought about renting a car and heading down to Oceanside with my riding shoes and trying to bum a ski and jacket for a ride. Trying to decide if it's worth it or if I should just hang out in LA with friends for the day. Chad

A riding buddy of mine is thinking about selling his '94. This thing is ridiculously clean and just plain mint condition. He is wondering what the ski and trailer is worth. It's a very good running boat. Fresh top end B pipe limited chamber carbon tech reeds milled stock head UMI bars...

I am going on a cruise with a bunch of friends the first week in April. We will be stopping in Mazatlan, Cabo, And Puerto Vallarta. I have never surfed before and would like to give it a try. Anyone have advice on any of these stops? I don't want to kill myself in huge surf. I know I am...

Okay, does anyone know what springs come with the mikuni carb rebuild kits? It came with 2 springs. One appears to be a 65. The other one I'm not sure about though. It is shiny silver as well but seems to match the length and windings of the gold 115 gram springs I have. I have about 8...

I just bought some used Mikuni 44s. Not knowing exactly how old they are, I thought it would be wise to pick up a couple rebuild kits. Who has the cheapest prices?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find cheap roll eeze wheels? I am rebuilding my home made tote and want to ditch my golf cart wheels. Chad

I posted a couple pictures of my build before Daytona last year, but I didn't have the "right" motor in it yet at that time. Here it is: OEM Hull Watercraft Factory hood Rev footholds Glass and Carbon Fiber reinforcement in sides and nose XScream 701 ported cylinder and cases B Pipe...

Anyone know how the cooling lines are supposed to be run on the mach 2 pipe? I have a friend that I was helping last night with a install. Chad

Anyone know where I can find the best price on an enhancer? Chad
