    Super Jet superjet wont start

    If you have enough water in the bottom, then yes, hydrolocking an engine will make it stop turning over... Turn the ski over sideways on the exhaust side, keep both pugs out, and turn in over... If water comes shooting out, then I would take the engine apart and pickle the parts ASAP.

    Super Jet superjet wont start

    Without better pics, it a guessing game, but that sure looks like saltwater sludge to me... If that is the case, then he has a week of saltwater in the bottom of his cases, which means crank is probably gone... It makes sense that an engine would turn over slowly with water in it, but turn...

    Super Jet superjet wont start

    Those plugs do not look good... are those salt crystals or saltwater sludge I see on the electrode to the right??? I would assume you got water in the engine and it's partially hydrolocked, and get that thing running ASAP... Good luck

    Super Jet need some help picking an extended ride plate

    Take your stock ride plate to someone that can weld 2" onto it, and go from there... I can hope on a stock SN and ride it without porpoising, so body position may be a factor that time in the tray will correct...

    Super Jet need some help picking an extended ride plate

    Are you riding surf or flat water, Freestyle or Buoys? I'm 6'2 285 and in the surf I run an extended stock ride plate, with the plate extended 50mm. On the flat water I use a d-cut WF rideplate as the preferred choice.

    Other Versiplug Max.....For those running them, how do you like them in the SURF....?

    Lol, don't sweat the scupper in the surf.... A few of us have them down here and do not have any problems at all.... If you were going to build a surf ski fro scratch, I would recommend not installing one, but if you have it, run it...

    Freestyle Will this work, my game plan

    Being 17 and purchasing toys with money you have saved up while working, is totally different than having Daddy splash down some serious coin on an aftermarket boat for the kid, but I digress.... He is 17, and if his Dad lets him take out a loan for a toy and still stay at home while doing it...

    Super Jet Will a Square nose bottom fit on a Round nose top deck?

    The SN bulhead needs to be hacked up pretty good to make it fit.

    Other Ride plate vs rider weight

    The heavier/taller the rider, the higher the center of gravity, and based on my experience small changes to teh ride plate makes a huge change to the feel of the ride. and for me a stock length ride plate in the sure (2m+) just does not do it... I guess that's why we have so many options...

    Other Ride plate vs rider weight

    Let me give my fat arse opinion... lol (130kgs) For us bigger guys, the D-cut brings the nose up alot, not just a little... I have just gone from a composite extended d-cut plate to a stock extended plate with no d-cut, and the ride diffference is night and day. even tho the current plate...

    Surfriding How would you like to be lining up on a great wave and see this coming at you?

    Honestly, that would be a dream for me... I missed my one chance to dive in a pod as I had students with me, but killer whales are the shiat!!!!

    Other Where is jetskiing going?

    When I was riding flat water, I found that as time went on, I was drinking more than riding... Good friends are what kept me there, otherwise I would be out on the boat with the Family. Now that I have moved, and the surf (good surf) is 15 minutes away, I want to ride every week, regardless...
