are you serious?

I wasn't thinking about getting it.

I already got a 550 that I love. Next ski is going to be a superjet.

I just wanted to know ya'lls thoughts on it.

Standups are EXTREMELY hard to find in the desert. That's 1 thing to keep in mind.

Why do you have to ask what anyone's thoughts are? Can you not tell by the thousands of posts on here that the site is predominately superjet/blaster oriented with a percentage of SXR thrown in? :dunno:

I'm keeping my 550. I love that thing. It's 1 of the easiest stadups I've ridden.

We're going to start our kid on that thing. :cool2:

Can't wait to get your pump in my ski. :veryhappy:

You said you're going to do all this stuff over winter right???

 

[ger87410]

Not the pump and the carb.

Those are easy swaps.

Carb is easy.....as long as your jetting is spot on!
