    Destination PWC Experience Survey

    1. This forum isn't interested in modern oems. Outside of the '21 superjet and perhaps the 4 stroke sxr jet boat we deal with superjets and aftermarket hulls modified for surf and freeriding wakes and waves, and absolutely tricked out aftermarket skis designed for competition freestyle. There...

    Will 550 tubbies fit a SN Superjet ?

    Probably not?... did you mock them up and see anything at all that would say either way? Installing them is very much a visual process. You are better off without them than SN tubbies installed wrong or 550 tubbies on an sn May I suggest NOT doing anything until you understand why you think you...

    How many swim noodles?

    Do you chop them up and modify airplane hulls to barrel roll faster? Do you have one named starfox? Also, who hurt you?

    How many swim noodles?

    Jokes aside hear me out because I am genuinely curious how these tiny planes are regulated. Is this something you can just do on private property at a low enough altitude to stay out of regulated air space?

    How many swim noodles?

    I'll pass on the tinker toy plane and take my chances on the tinker toy scooter :p (Foamed for your pleasure)

    How many swim noodles?

    You are comparing aftermarket water scooter hulls to the billion dollar rigidly regulated and standardized commercial aerospace industry. I'd like to point out that's a little crazy. Way more crazy than jet skis and pool noodles

    How many swim noodles?

    You can't expect to take a hull designed for competition in to the wild for fun without properly foaming it. The point of it is to make the jetski go upside down as close to spectators as possible

    How many swim noodles?

    The fact that guys will spend 20+k on a freestyle ski then talk about pool noodle tech is hilarious

    1991 SJ650 superjet

    Dont give up.. Start over and focus on electronics. Buy a new oem cdi or hit up @JetManiac for assurance it is a known good one. An effed cdi can and will confuse the hell out of you I once bought an ebay cdi for 50 bucks to replace a cdi that would make it backfire. 2 rides later it would...

    Superjet question

    That's a hell of a starter ski. I'd listen to these guys and just plug the scupper and make some money back selling the TL for charging electronics.

    Buying a new 2021 SuperJet

    Laugh it up but it's true. https://watercraftjournal.com/kevin-shaw-the-man-who-killed-the-jetski/ At least the part about it being shelved. The lack of graphics is indeed an assumption I made

    Find a cheapish sn to ride when you don't want to try to flip. Didnt BOB hull mean backflip on budget?

    Buying a new 2021 SuperJet

    They weren't even thinking about looks when they decided to make a run of these things. It was on the shelf for years and years and they finally figured why not. Then greatly underestimated how many people wanted one. I'm sure the 22 will look like a samurai dolphin with slick lines for our...

    SJ Ocean Pro Ride Plate Opinions

    It's way too subjective to not keep trying plates till you find "yours". Superjets do turn flat but that's a good thing in my opinion. You can lay a 90 to 07 hull over to the bondline (no sponsons) and do mellow carves high speed with your hip as a sponson. The plate effects how you turn flat...

    Industry parts (Or lack there of)

    Damn man. I remember following that thread for a minute and hoping you found it. Did you end up getting a boat together yet

    Industry parts (Or lack there of)

    Did you ever end up finding your old hull when you started riding again?

    Industry parts (Or lack there of)

    Shop stands/Beach carts, lanyards that don't suck, tow loops and ropes, waterproof packs to transport 2 gallons fuel to a beach,

    Industry parts (Or lack there of)

    They could meet demand and still not care compared to sales in other motor sports

    Industry parts (Or lack there of)

    Buyers of jet ski parts. What do you mean by nacks? Like a jetmaniac brand towel or something? I'd totally buy a jetmaniac towel with the "potted 701" pic

    Crossfit

    Just to add to that, the book Nutrient Timing is a great read and based on sound science. It helped me get down to single digit body fat in my early twenties bodybuilding days.
