a 650 or 750 would be fine, that hull will mostly not know the difference between the two. I think it's a good idea to go to a larger pump if you're going to drop in that much hp.

I dunno about that.
All the 550 parts I have seen were comparable in price to the SJ parts I've seen.
Well, actually the SJ pipes are more. So are the ride plates. The starter's lower though.

actually, aftermarket 550 parts are well cheaper and easier to attain than newer skis. there's just more of them around because they've been around longer.
besides, who give a single solitary crap about what huey lewis said for christs sake.
does he even ride?

i have to disagree with you on prices.
you can get a square with a 701 for less than 1500 and some come with pipes for that price.
get a 550, then buy a complete 750 including ebox, a different pump, aftermarket parts to make every thing work in the 550 hull. now you have more money and time in the 550.
not worth in in my opinion.

U buying that thing to ride it, right? So ride it, not work on it.

Well to answer your sj question it depends on what you wanna spend. I bought a nice sn with 701, pipe, milled head, scat impeller, aftermarket ride and grate, nice turf job, umi bars, and bilge pump for $1400. If you have the money get a rn cause they are nicer looking but its gonna cost you over 2 grand unless you stumble on a deal. Otherwise get a square if your on a budget. I dont think squares are ugly, im not racist.

if you want a ski you don't want to spend a bunch of money on, or work on, you'd better plan on not getting one, because those types don't exist, out of completely stock form. even stock ski will require wrenching from time to time. any stock ski is going to be reliable. and when you go about hoppin' it up, regardless of what ski it is, you had better learn to work on it, because you will be paying someone else to do it, otherwise.

That video proves you should get the Superjet or an SXR...
A bone stock SXR would jump twice as high on those nice waves. You can see that its just not hooking up. Get a square with a bpipe and you'll be happy.
Better yet, sell the Mustang, get a smaller car or a little pickup and get a ready to rip used RN freestyle ski ready to go for about 4Gs.

The mustang stays, its too much fun when im not in the water
Yeah but when they are pretty much right is when i get sad.
I was planning on a 3k max for a RN but id much rather stay at 2k or less for a stock or close rn or good sn. i suppose ill start shopping but i never see them for sale around here.

wasnt this a superjet discussion?
:theyareontome:
this conversation makes me feel the same way as I did while watching supercouch johnny wash and flush his RXT at daytona for 45 minutes straight
get a superjet, ANY superjet...sell the 550 and never look back
