Braaaaap - don't forget the B-pipe....

Most of the fiberglass ones have the sides of the boat kind of blend down to the back, making the platform relatively small, or the platform is higher off the water. The old ski boats had that wood platform right at water level - easy loading. I'll have to look closer at some of the new boats...

Fast Elements had an incredible sale on them, a really unbeatable deal. I've seen used ones going for more than what I paid, but holding up my build was a bummer, especially since the lakes weren't frozen over.

I've been considering boats with the old school teak swim platform just for this purpose - put the ski on back and head out to the backside of the lake for some good wake sessions.

That is a stack of good parts, but you may end up doing a top end and more to get it running right - hard to diagnose on a computer...

I ordered a ATP waterbox and a UMI trim lever from them for my ski, waited 3 weeks, finally decided to call. "Oh, the waterbox is on back order." Another 2 weeks go by, follow up - still on back order. Arrives a few weeks later - I borrowed my friends TDR box at that point - and there is a...

I want to hear more about the glory days, and the glorious Thunder Jet!

Yeah, sick paint, looks like a decent setup (from what I can see). Factory pipe, is that an SBN?

Been there, Pnutt!!! Rode at Oside with Mark Gomez, got out to the ride spot and hydrolocked my ski on the first attempt at an aerial.

Where did you get the pink? I've been looking for that color, and don't have access to a mixing bank anymore...

Great running FX1 - glad I got to ride it this weekend! Now I need to get an impeller in my wife's ski, can't have that stock FX1 keeping up with me... lol.

I picked up some RRP bars from them. They sent the wrong bars, I had to pay shipping back to them, then they sent the correct bars. Cost me a weekend of riding and $7 to ship. I had also purchased some bow eye tow loops from them a few years back, and it took forever for them to arrive. They...

10 months could be a lot of riding, or hardly any - any idea how many hours on the motor?

I just sold my bone stock 1994 B1 for $800... it was probably worth more than that in parts. But I had to move on to other things. Wish I had room for them all, It would still be here.

I like the vids with a little of everything, but the ones from the side of the helmet are my favorite for standard mounts. The rod mounted gopro on a swivel off the helmet is sick too - I've see a few vids with that setup... sick.

So true. With thatbeing said, I keep a loaner boat. I have loaned it out quite a bit, and it gets a decent amount of use. It will still get loaned out, but a friend that rides it more than 3-4 times needs to be looking for their own ski.

Buy RTR aftermarket ski. The hull is the most expensive piece of the puzzle when you are building a REC ski. If you are wanting to hit the surf, make sure it is a beefy tried and true hull - I saw an older FR Rickter for $8500 with a 701 a while back - looked like it could be a fun boat.

Sounds familiar...
