Busted Pole #2 FIXED!!! PICS.

[djkorn1]

Cleveland Waves were not nice to skis today.
I broke my -2 Polished UMI pole in Half today.

Pics coming...

UMI will warrantee it, but I don't want to wait. Taking it to the welder in the morning.

You know, X-metal poles come with a lifetime warranty...:cool2:

 

[DAG]

never seen an umi in 2 pieces,, i would think a broken bone would come along with a broken pole..

How the hell do you just snap a pole in half? Damn!

and that was only some of the carnage on the lake today

another busted pole from one and a blown up motor from another
thank god i made it home in 1 piece

:bigeyes:
did that guy say he could get up up and running soon korn?

 

[Proformance1]

Sorry to hear that. They should replace it if you have the time. The lake was angy this weekend, like a washing machine with rogue waves coming from all directions. I've got some hood latch damage I need to fix.

:bigeyes:Shooooooooooooooooot. It's off to the Welder today... I am sure they would replace it... however, it would be faster and cheaper to just weld and resupport it.

...Cough....Xmetal....cough.....replaces with life time warranty.....cough

UMI would also. But I agree, X-metal. I have mine on order.

 

[djkorn1]

No cashola for X-Metal right now.. $40 to weld and reinforce it. If it breaks again, I'll bite the bullet.

Might I suggest you bite the Billet :sneaky: :biggthumpup:

I'm going X-metal pole soon. My AC was suppose to be -2, but turned out to be standard, so i got a -2 reinforced stock on for now with X-metal plate and bars. How much is the WDK billet pole? I dont even know...

IF they break, that's always where they always break.

UMI will warranty just like xmetal. Do what you gotta do. $40 to get on the water is a whole lot cheaper than $600.

$995 :crutches: But it is worth the extra $$ IMO

Hey Hunter, DJ wants to ride with a handle pole sometime in the next year, not running around on his SXR like a surfjet using the throttle and pulling on the steering cable end with his other hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:

Oh..........he did not specify a time frame :haha: I know Jeff has them now. It is just a matter of getting it to your door.

I just make the suggestion b/c this is pole #2 that has busted.

More Pics. Last time it broke on the weld.

I will never buy a $1000 dollar pole (too pricey). Probably an AC or an X Metal if this one goes. NOBODY I know has ever broken one of these, have they??? My ONLY concern is strength (and I want a -2).

Tom (SuperRamJet) has broken a couple XMW poles.

 

[djkorn1]

Then AC it is. :biggthumpup:

That looks like cast, right? Aluminum?
