anyone seen this paintjob before

[tiplickhahaha]

i dont have the money to repaint it

88 piston port 550
anyway to motivate me to finish this ski im posting some "before" pictures of my 550 enjoy:biggthumpup: ... will update in about a year lol

 

[tiplickhahaha]

oh i forgot to tell you what was wrong with it bored to the max limit engine siezed started taking it apart and couldent control my self so now it's just wires and some gas lines in it..waiting for new parts

also if you look it's a 440 manifold/pipe (i think) and because of that theres the red crap all over the side of the engine to keep water from filling the hull(idk dont ask....)

 

[Mile9c1]

WAd, is that you?

 

[tiplickhahaha]

eh?

 

[h2odesperado]

Is that an edger holding the pole up? Thats even more ghetto than my lacrosse pole holding mine.

 

[tiplickhahaha]

im not rich like everyone else here:banghead:

BTW, the edger is for sale runs great though the blade might need sharpening PM me..............

I wouldnt give you money for that ski, it looks like a money pit... you will put $ in and never see anything good out of it... the 550 piston port is going to suck your wallet dry... (trust me, ive been there)

get a loan out for a SJ, they arent that expensive for a decent roundnose... and yes, you can get a loan if you're 16... do it, i'll let you ride mine if you need some motivation... im just 2 hours north on Interstate 69

Cool...a rainbow paintjob.

I have a 440 or 550 piston port cylinder since you said that one is maxed out. want me to look for it and see what bore it is?
DON'T go down the slippery slope of loans for toys at such a young age. If you don't have the money to pay for something it means you have not wanted it long enough and/or bad enough to save for it.

 

[tiplickhahaha]

haha no loans i think it should be for a car before anything else.......



though i do agree this thing will be a money pit, maybe ride it for about a year or so and upgrade was the plan. with the job i have i can set aside a SJ fund or somthing and still support this thing...

i bet i get stared at the local lake (lol..geist reservoir):bigeyes: :bigeyes: :bigeyes:


i allready picked up a stnd. size cylinder block off ebay a couple weeks ago,,
thanks though


it will look a lot better once i get the parts and put a little work into it..
i will be sure 2 post pics

 

[tiplickhahaha]

for those who dont know, geist reservoir is in a upscale community of indianapolis, with homes ranging in the million +



the dnr will prolly tell me to pack up and go home lol....


well north of indy in fishers county indy is in marion

So true.

 

[jetpilot701sj]

you know one side on the hood strap will fit in that slot on the side of the pole bracket to hold the pole up right?

words of a true 550/440 rider! :biggthumpup:

tiplick, do a rattle can paint job on it and returf it... at the very least!

 

[djyox]

why did the gays wreck the rainbow for us all?

I say live it painted as is, and just get her running! My ski is ugly as sin, but who cares, it floats and moves... I have to save for a sj as it is....

 

[Shonuff]

Fine, I'll take it.

Gimme a price and I'll come and get it.
