All the goodies $4500. Pick up in Old Bridge, NJ. I'm moving on to other hobbies. Those who remember this key and engine combo no what it is and that I was never too hard on skis as I enjoyed building them more than riding sometimes. You're getting a pretty good setup but it is currently...

He set his goal for Daytona to complete a backflip and succeeded. Not too shabby for a reinforced 08 SJ with a 709cc motor. See pic. Congrats Kenny. Keep it coming.

I will be driving from NJ to Florida on Monday, March 2 and have space in my pickup bed for a standup if anyone has bought a ski or needs a ski transported.

I had this starter for sale for what I am quite certain is a GP800: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/46413 Look at the picture. It has an additional (third) unmachined ear in the center between the two mounting bolt holes. Does anyone know what this is for? Or is this perhaps not a GP800...

The current apartment that I live in will be coming available in the next month or so as I have decided to purchase a house. I wanted to let people know about this jet-ski-friendly locale that is very affordable. It is a cozy one-bedroom apartment about 50 feet from a boat ramp on the Shark...

I just wanted to publicly thank Pat again. I had a 1.5 year old black XMetal finger throttle that I installed the throttle cable adapter witout grease on. Long story short, it was seized to the aluminum beyond my ability to repair. I sent it back to show him and he sent me a brand new one...

It would be interesting if we could set up a Sticky poll that rates the various companies on these items. Something like the new itemized feedback format that eBay makes available about rating sellers on their item quality, shipping speed, shipping price, etc. I thought about this after...

Just an FYI for those running or thinking of running Advent ignitions. Each Advent comes with a curve set of four selectable curves. There are at least 21 different curve sets out there (I am not sure how unique they are, but that equates to 84 different curves). They charge $50.00 to...

I had a great day riding with Pete, Mark, Paul (IHOP), Rich (demolition_x) and the rest of the NJ crew today. i have been travelling a lot lately and forgot what it was like. We may not have a Rager this year, but we should definitely meet every weekend to ride together again. Pete is...

I'm up here in Norcal for a couple weeks and need to ride this weekend. A friend has a 550 with a Coffman pipe. It's not my baby, but it will suffice. Last night I assembled the motor and tonight I have to install it and run cooling lines. It has a Coffman pipe. Can someone post a drawing...

Just an FYI for those of you interested in R&D Dominator with removable carb plate manifolds. There are two version of this out there. The more common version has an oval cut and is designed for OEM and V-Force style reed cages. The other one is designed to fit R&D M-16 reed cages. These...

I was just sitting here and wanting to start a thread about something, so here it is. I got a new 11 foot Terry Cable trim cable. It is constructed beautifully, but on the other hand, it weigh 4 pounds. Can you believe that? Did you ever think about what each component on your ski...

I'm spending a lot of time (50+%) in Santa Rosa from now until June or so. Does anyone ride up here? If so, I'd love to ride. Get in touch. I'll pay for fuel/help maintain ski. Joe

Here's a cheap XMetal product that I don't think Pat even knew did this. The water outlets are the perfect size to allow a hose end to fit over them when flushing your ski. No need for a flush tee. In fact if I take the tension off the hose it even stays on there by itself. I have a...

I was wondering if the styrofoam that is shoved in noses of skis and handlepoles can get waterlogged? I've never seen it happen. Has anyone? The reason I ask, is because regardless of type, it seems that the two-part foam used to fill the rear of hulls absorbs water. Has anyone tried...

Is anyone running dual 1/2" cooling to their motor with Factory Pipe wet pipes (mod/limited/Blaster mod/TNT)? If so, did you retap the bottom of the manifold for bigger inlets? You have to, right? Otherwise it defeats the purpose at that point due to the restriction.

I saw the thread on the 1 Gallon fuel cell begin to get hijacked so I wanted to start this here. I've done a little research on batteries, weight, and power. My personal feeling is that the Deka (sealed) and Odyssey batteries are superior to the Walmart and vented auto store ones, but thi...

I wanted to give thanks where thanks were due a couple weeks ago when we were hacked and remembered that I never posted this here on the X yet. Finally, I have this on the water and I just want to take a moment and thank everyone who helped me along the way. Every one of these people are...

Lately I've seen a lot of people interested in running the OEM Yamaha single flame arrestors. They are quite expensive to buy new and they go fast when offered used. I was looking at my friend's Kawi 650 this weekend on which he has a 44 with the 4-bolt pattern and an OEM flame arrestor...

Has anyone put anFX-1 gas tank in a SJ hull? Does it fit? Can you post a picture or two? I'm trying to gain some clearance for my B-pipe. Ands be able to move it away from the wall a bit.
