    Best goggles to get?

    I am wondering what everyone is using that wear goggles to ride. I have contacts and it's a battle when getting a face full of water to clear out my eyes and make sure my contacts stay in place. Bought a pair of jet tribe glasses and water does not divert around the goggles at all and still...

    Registration/sales tax question on a new rickter

    Does anyone know how one goes about registering a new rickter? I'm guessing there's no serial tag with which to go by? What about sales tax? Would it make sense to have the builder send you a bill of sale for the hull and register that and then finish the build? Never done this before and...

    Question on ride plate design vs pole length

    I ride a stock 98 superjet at this moment and was out on lake michigan in 5-7 foot surf this weekend. I've found riding with the stock handle pole is a pain as it's too long at times when I'm bouncing up and down in the surf. I weigh 205-210 and I am wondering if putting an extended ride plate...

    Suggestions needed for surf riding mods

    I'll make this short and sweet. Looking for suggestions on what mods I should look at for a 98 superjet. Currently the ski is stock with a scoop grate on it. I ride in lake michigan when the waves are 3 foot or higher. I've found thus far that I wish I had more torque on the low end so I'm...

    99 sxi pro taking on water while towing in

    As the title states I had to tow in my sxi pro this past weekend and when we got back into the laucnh I had a good 8 inches of water inside... wondering where this came from? Do I have a bad seal around the shaft area? To further this, whenever we're done skiing this ski has more water inside...

    Custom/Hybrid Questions on building a Rickter

    After seeing a trio of Rickters out on Lake Michigan this weekend I started looking into what is involved with building one. My goal is to build something reliable with a decent size gas tank to minimize heading in to refuel. I understand this goes against the power and lightness that may be...

    Other Question on tie downs and bow stop bolts

    The last ski I bought had two great things for tie down and I cannot find them anywhere (at least at the boat supply places). In the front was a long bold with a looped handle on it, like what you would use to hold a hitch in a receiver, but on the end of the bolt part was a thing that would...

    Super Jet 97 superjet runs at idle when at WOT for a few seconds before taking off.

    I just picked up a 97 superjet last week and finally got it out on the water today for a shakedown run. When I bought it the psi was 150 on both cylinders and for the most part it ran good. Only one thing had me scratching my head, a few times it would stutter and stammer and go basically...

    Super Jet What do you think of this deal?

    I just found a 97 superjet that is bone stock and literally looks about new... ridden a few times each summer. Owner is asking $2500 with single place trailer and won't split. What do you think? Worth pouncing on?

    Super Jet Why do superjets command such a high price compared to kawasaki's?

    I already own a 99 sxi pro that I got for a couple grand and now on the look out for a roundnose superjet to pair with it. I'm surprised by the difference in price for similar years. Can anyone enlighten me on why this is so? I thought yamaha sold considerably more units than kawasaki did and...
