SX/SXi/SXi Pro '92 750SX

[oldguy750]

My buddies and I used to eat, sleep and breath jet skiing. We went to the Finals every year from 2000-2010 and skied Oceanside, Pismo, Blythe, Parker, Mead, Laughlin, Topoc, and Havasu. We night skied in Laughlin behind the water taxis and even brought a ski into our water front hotel room at the Pioneer to work on from time to time.
More and more friends were buying boats so these 3 skis have been sitting for about 12 years. I recently aquired my friend's 550 and 750. I will be taking the best of the two 750's and making one for myself then selling the remainder parts and part out the 550.

Parts using from my ski:
Motor-ported, SBN46, BCW intake, Wescoast head, 29cc domes, Weisco pistions 1.50 over, R&D timing advance
Jet Dynamics ride plate and top loader intake grate

Parts from other ski:
Hull, Factory Pipe, Jetcraft resonator, pump, Jettrim bars

First I wanted to catch up on some mods I've missed over the years so I got a PLD pole, Footholds and started gathering pieces for an X2 trim system. Hull reinforcement and hand holds are also on the list.



























I will run over to IMPROS with both pumps and have them set me up the a new impeller and the better of the two pumps.



Here's an oldie of me and my friend at Body Beach with Kantz. I'm rockin the pink "Watkins" Jet Pilot suit.

I work for Andrew Buck at Buckshot Racing in Fullerton. Some of you might remember his jet ski carbs and heads. All of his parts have been long gone so goodies for my ski:-( He has moved on from jet skis to building offroad sandcars. A majority of his customer's are over seas in Qatar, Abudabi, and Dubai. Here is what is going on at the shop right now.
