    We have a new rider in our midst.

    So true. I let my boys ride any time they want provided the law is low. I understand the age requirement just like driving an auto. I also know that some individuals are ready for it much younger. Keep puttin him out there.

    We have a new rider in our midst.

    That is so awesome! Tomorrows torch carriers are our children. I have three. My 12 year old (son) has been riding solo since he was 8. My 7 year old (daughter) doesn't show quite the interest. My 4 year old (son) has been riding with me for a year and a half. I don't push them to ride. The boys...

    The info sheet at the premier stated 139kg (305.8 lbs). I assume that some of the weight came from the increased surface area, and material used to get it, at the front of the hull. The trim ring and positioning bracket contribute some. There is also going to be more material in the bottom of...

    need to confirm the changes to the 2008 superjet for the wiki page

    The pump inlet is like a blaster without the wasted space at the front that the rn and sn have. H-pole is -50mm. Lower steering cable end is changed. Comes with a trim ring in a fixed (currently) non-adjustable position. Oh yeah, the tray mounted crack washer. On the demo unit the impeller was a...

    Naw, must have been some kind of interactive virtual program that made it actually look like he was standing in front of me and talking with me. Stupid program also put him at the demo before me. Isn't that veird!?

    They ARE sponsons and not just a wider hull.

    Perhaps you should look at the stock class rules. Rules allow the addition of aftermarket exhaust in the superjet to compensate for the lack of displacement and hp according to Watkins. You should ride the hull before you label it as inferior to the Kawi. The handling IS there!

    Hey guys I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the nano bandwagon. There was a bare hull at the premier and it was definitely lighter but it was very flimsy. I personally don't think that it is going to hold up to what the SHO is going to put it through. Feels like a thin plastic that is going to...

    This sj is going to surprise most of you. It still feels like a superjet until you throw it into a turn and drag your asscheeks on the water. It still beckons you to play.

    I'm also really diggin' the deeper chines too. Flatwater (freestyle) guys are going to hate this hull. To all the nay-sayers...say I nay! I found nothing missing in the new hull. It is still very agile and nimble. It doesn't feel heavy at all, quite the opposite. Straight line tracking is...

    It is possible that there are provisions for a trim, but the one at the show has nothing to manipulate a trim. No twist grip and no lever. Sorry, I will check better tomorrow. If anybody has anything else they want looked at post up before 10 am tomorrow. That's when I'll be heading out for the...

    I saw the pics and most of what I saw looked like them. I did not however look very closely at the pump as Mr. Watkins said it was the same pump. I will look at it tomorrow. I did notice the shorter steering nozzle and the steering cable pivot end. They are as the pics.

    Or didn't. Was said that it is just the same plate, only further back. I hope that this is a preproduction model and that the real deal will have some change here although no one said so.

    Correction, All of the waverunners and sport boats must follow a lead boat on a pre-determined course...the only exception to the rule is the chubby. We get to take it out in a different direction for a specified amount of time to do as we please. I am sure that they will have some kind of...

    I'm sure royal has brought you up to speed on the "NEW" Superjet. To recap: front of the hull (bottom only) is wider and has molded in sponsons very similar to Tubbies, rear of hull is narrower, pump and ride plate are set back 50 mm (almost 2"), handlepole is 50 mm shorter, pump has a stainless...
