That isn't supply and demand, it's gouging.

Like I said before, only in IJSBA terms: 19.1.6 All watercraft may be required to meet respective local boating laws (i.e., current registration displayed on craft, fire extinguisher on board, etc.).

....Except your ski needs to be registered to race it.

Superjets have much better aftermarket support and I've heard the 650SX hulls don't put up with as much freestyle abuse as the superjet's.

Ugliest Superjet graphics to date IMO. I noticed they don't say anything about having a racing licence to purchase.

That looks eerily similar to a SJ hull I started on last year, then ended up sawzalling into pieces so it would fit into the dumpster this summer.

Are you sure your compression tester is accurate and that you're using it correctly?

Blue paint and decals for your hood.

I like your VXR loictahiti. The rack has turned out to be one of my all-time favorite mods. I did a little FFH mod on the square:

The DOT doesn't actually test or even monitor the the testing of helmets.

No, but there's a lot of DOT helmets that I wouldn't wear either.

DOT approved don't mean chit.

Couldn't you drill and countersink a couple more holes in your turn plate and run 7/8 riser bars? http://www.x-h2o.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22188&d=1172996232 Something like this^ (modded stock 750 turn plate)

Whichever one is in the best condition, the 650s are a bit easier to learn on though.

A cooler rack like that will be one of my next mods. I can also understand why they did that sit down like that, if you fished by your self all the time a PWC would be a lot easier to store, operate, tow and unload by yourself.

I disagree. I'd much rather figure out how to take care of and not abuse a $500 ski than a $2000 Superjet. I've seen plenty of incidents where less-than-experienced riders have done serious damage to skis only because they hadn't learned the ropes yet.

You gonna post up a pic?

Well, I got to ride with my cheapass riser setup yesterday on some flatwater and rapids and overall I don't think the the short rise made a huge difference, but it was noticeable. It almost felt like I added an inch to my pole length but without losing the ability to get my weight further...

I started out on a 550SX at about your height and weight and had a lot of fun on it.

I never had any problems with the stock 650 I bought in 2006, I sold it to a buddy who still rides it, and he hasn't done anything to it other than the occasional battery.
