anyone got one? what are your inmpresssions? was it worth it? Our PS2 died a horible death and we are looking at getting a new console. 90% of the use is from the kids. I almost never play with it. we have tons of PS1 and PS2 games the kids still play daily, so I dont want to switch...

...tried to cram a 700 cc polaris motor into a 550 hull? I've heard of people doing 650 kawi swaps, but just wondering if it's doable at all. I only ask because I just happen to have a line on one for free from a wrecked boat. Free stuff rules.

One of my dirt biking buddies that is also into kite boarding GAVE me a set of brand new Dakine straps for my jet ski project. I love free stuff. :biggthumpup:

Since I ride the bike in the winter, it's jet ski project time. This is a little undertaking I've been thinking about for a while and am finally gonna do it. And before anyone asks: "Why a 550?". It's simple, they are cheap and if I dont like it I'm not any real money. if I DO like it, i...

could be kinda cool.

there are so many available I am not sure which ones to get.

I drove down to my brothers in IN yesterday to pick up 3 bare 550/440 hulls that he had picked up from Dan (drodabaugh) for me. Since these were donor skis I expected the worst, which was fine for what I had in mind for these things. when I saw them for the first time I was amazed, 2 of them...

I saw this cute little blonde chick go zoomin' by me yesterday and this was her license plate. It made me laugh.

I have an 84 JS 550 affectionately known as "The Short Bus". As of this moment the only real money I have in this ski is the battery. it's always run well although there have been intermittent problems, Usually revolving around fuel mixture or dead batteries. nothing that ever required...

I had an idea this evening and figured before I putt too much time, money and effort into exploring the possibilities, I'd run it by you guys. First off. There is the running debate between footholds vs. Straps. That, coupled with the argument of the footholds giving a wider platform and...

In other words: IF I were to get an SJ or and SXR that were stock (or new) what areas would need to be reinforced straight away to avoid trouble down the road. I'm more interesed in making a bomb proof ski than anything else. This will be a free ride ski in every sense of the word. it will...

I subbed my 550 yesterday and after surfacing it ran for a second then died. the motor spins over fine, I get fuel, but no spark what so ever. I checked all my connections and they are fine. the inside of my CDI box; however, did have some minor moistue in it and this weird slime coating a few...

I vaguely remember him from PWCToday, But like alot of people over there never paid much attention to him. I noticed you guys seem to really love him. So help me out, whats the dealio?

Since breaking my knee last fall, I've only been out on the ski a handfull of times this year. But EVERY TIME I go out I spend half the day wrenching on my 550.:rocketwhore: If it was always the same issue that would be one thing, but it's always something new. This latest time I lost spark...

My oldest son turned 12 last week and Yester day at Wave Rave toward the end of the day I gave him a pass to Play with my 550. He's never been on a stand up before and withing 20 minutes he was up, and making tuns and ripping through some light chop. He even took it back the 2 mile trip in 1'...

Scored it from a yard sale. guy also had 2 440 bare huls that he was trying to get me to drag off for $20ea. :lmao:

I've heard it said that the 440 pumps are better than the 550 pumps a few times on various sites, but never a reason WHY. SO... I had a 440 pump assemply fall into my lap today and I'm debating on swapping it out with my 550 pump on "The Short Bus" ('84 JS550). Is this really an upgrade and...

I need to know what the Orange w/ White stripe & black w/ red striped wires are in the CDI box on aa 84 JS550. The guy with the 650 had such good luck I figured I try too.

First off, I've been gone a while. Broken bones, lost my job, yadda yadda... At any rate, I'm ready to try and get the ski wet and have an issue I need to sort out and really need someones help answering a couple questions. I cant seem to keep a battery charged in the ski and worse still the...
