Doesn't look like they used it in the competition. Jake Bright streamed some testing on his Instagram (Krash_And_Burn_JB) 30 minutes ago. It's a cell phone vid from 100 yards away, but it's better than nothing. I think you can only view it through the Instagram app...

It's always nice to have the couches around when you need a tow

This is why I wish Yamaha would make something to compete with the Spark. I know that's why they made the EX, but it's hardly in the same class in terms of size/weight. I'd be first in line for something with the size of a Spark but the reliability of a Yamaha 4-stroke...

PayPal is notoriously buyer-friendly, you should have good luck with them. I'm not sure if you'll be able to persuade them to issue a full refund without some proof of damage though. "This looks like it was probably damaged but still functions normally" is a tough sell.

Great answer. Doesn't sound pretentious at all... We're all very impressed by the fact that you assembled your first ski from sticks and stones 300 years ago and spent the next few centuries working your way up the cc chain, but that doesn't mean everyone else needs to do the same thing.

I can understand that mentality with motorcycles, but what's the harm in putting a beginner on a 1000cc ski? Especially one that seems intended for use in the open ocean. The way I see it, they'll just be doing a lot more swimming than a beginner on a slower ski. It's not like they're going to...

Anybody have opinions on the Cocoa Beach area? Been thinking of moving there for a while, probably gonna take a trip sometime in the next few months to check it out.

Probably doesn't happen much since the designated riding zones are few and far between. Talking to a local is definitely your best bet. Just look how complicated their regulations are: http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/riding-jet-skis-in-hawaii-informational-thread.162510/

Are you sure your battery is getting recharged? Similar thing happened to me recently. Ran fine for an hour, got back to the dock and all it would do is make a faint buzzing sound in the ebox. Replacing the battery alleviated the problem for a couple weeks, but now it's back. And if I let it...

Anybody here use a hitch hauler with a 2007-2014 Tahoe? And if so, did you need to install an aftermarket hitch? I'm finding a lot of conflicting information about the factory hitch class and maximum tongue weight. I don't currently own one, just looking at options and Tahoes seem like a...

It has a button-activated trim system. I'm still trying to figure out how that could be useful. Are you supposed to find the button and start tapping it as you're headed down the face of a wave? And then hope the system will adjust in a split second? :rolleyes: Still, I'd take a Spark over any...

That's kind of what I had in mind. Something to put the ski on (or in). Taking the hood off in surf is tough. Someone else on here was talking about chopping the transom off a small foam-filled boat then putting some bunks in it. Not sure if they ended up doing it but that would be a nice...

Handlepole? Looks like a selfie stick to me! What does a 701 weigh? Half that?

Is there anything available that would make it possible to tow faster? Something like a rescue sled that you could put the ski on then hook up to another ski or boat. There are a lot of people selling little 15 HP RIBs in my area for 1-2 grand. If I could tow the ski at 15-20 MPH behind one of...

Nice find. Is it just me or do those things look massive?

Holy crap, this came out of nowhere :eek: Yamaha better up their game this year, compared to Sea Doo and Kawi it looks like they're not even trying anymore...

Hey, do you still sell these kits? I saw them in one of your old threads but not in this one: Pump Build/Rebuild kit (2 bearings/2 seals/o-ring) 39. Midshaft Build/Rebuild kit (Bearing/3 seals/2 orings/clips) 39. Trying to find one for a skat 145 setback mag.

How old is too old? I've always assumed pump gas with any amount of ethanol is no good after ~6 months. Got a couple cans from last summer that I've been meaning to get rid of...

Interesting boots, how's the ankle support? Been looking for something to replace my water sneaker thingys...

Same, and when it took off I was hoping Yamaha would take the opportunity to go back to their roots and release something similar. Instead they released these silly marketing videos where they spent the whole time trash-talking the Spark and completely missing the point [1] [2]. They might as...
