Jet ski's
 

Anyone here ride? We have about 7-8 in the group right now and are looking for more people to ride with. We should be going out this weekend if anyone wants to join. Either the Ashley or Tail Race.

They don't have to nice. Just bring them out. Mines old and crusty

Yep.

We usually put in at my boat club on the Stono and run the creeks or go out to Folly and jump the waves at the the lighthouse.

Just dropped mine off at Chas. Powersports this morning because it developed a miss at low rpms. Hopefully it's just a coil pack.

Morris Island area sounds like a fun idea. We will have to give that a try.

I need to replace the fuel lines on my ski because they are the old grey "tempo" lines that deteriorate. Maybe I can knock it out this weekend.

Let us know if you ever want to ride and we can get up.

And you wonder why your back still/will hurt..lol

How much are jet skis and what's the fastest one available and how fast will it go?

http://www.personalwatercraft.com/sp...-reg/300x.html

was reading on that one. Supposed to be the fastest production ski, but its limited to 66mph...to make the coast guard happy. Im sure there has to be a way to remove that.

Damn that's expensive for a damn jet ski that will only go 66!

My 2001 gtx will do 59-60 all day and I only gave $1500 for it. Some can run mid 70s.

Dont they make nitrous kits for them?

Plenty of turbo and supercharged skis, turn up tha booooost.

If you want a fast stock one with a lot of potential get a gp1300r. I've got a 2000 seadoo gts 3 seater. I paid $400 for it with a trailer and it runs and floats. But it's ugly as hell.

I need to get my shit fixed.

Sure do.

There are plenty of upgrades for skis to go faster. 70+MPH GPS verified is pretty easy, but expensive. How often do you guys ride? I may get one. I had a 1 seater blaster for wave jumping but sold it.

I plan to ride every weekend possible. At least twice a month for sure.

Bombardier makes rxps and I think kawa makes a 3 seater. Kind of a toss up between the two. A family member had multiple rxp's, both 2 and 3 seaters they would do 70 all day.. He had problems keeping them together the superchargers on them were coming apart. Came apart on 3 of them they covered it under warranty but missed weeks of the season. Biggest PIA. Sold them to a guy in Sullivans island and not a month later another one went out. Fun as hell when they werent broken.

Neighbor has a 1300 Honda turbo with CDI box, intake grate, intake, exhaust, and impeller upgrade and does 73-75 in cold water, 69-71 in summer.

Never had a problem with his just changes oil and plugs once a year

That's rolling! I'm tempted to buy an impeller for mine.

ill be happy with 40 out of old busty

You'd still be faster than Lawson and Rob's pink one.

Impeller made more of a difference than all the other mods.

If yall go to the tail race let me know, I got a boat not a ski.... it only runs 60-65 tops but if you wait up, I can carry all the booze.................

hmm...I think I may have just found a new toy to buy. Let's see what the wifey has to say about this.

I fuck up jet skis from a dig all the time with my 1984 Checkmate ski boat, lol. Its almost all stock. I did get passed one time by a fast ass turbo jet ski.

Buy a flying tube and I will pull you in it. :mrgreen:

Ha!

We were riding about 45-45mph here. I don't know what it was, but he had a kid on it with him!

www.greenhulk.net has a lot of good info.

Also, my service advisor buddy at Chas. Powersports has a race prep'd RXP for sale. He wants 7k for it but it is built to the gills with all top flight stuff.

I plan on working on mine this weekend and getting it ready for the water

Post up when you guys go out. Like Randy, I can bring a boat and hang out. We mostly ride in the Ashley River and up at the Lake in Bonneau.

Wait for it...

:hide:

I've got to get up to the lake this year. I haven't been there in far too long...

i got one not sure where i can keep it during week... it would go midding in my appartment complex... keep the boat up in gtown as well.. damn north charleston.

Going out this Sunday around 12-1pm... Not sure where yet.

You can keep it up at my place in Sville.

Just dropped my shit off at the ski mechanic friday. Told me to be patient...:boohoo:

Ugh.
