Ok my test are leading some informative results. Now I know my setting is the problem. It rusted almost instantly. When I developed it I used and acid test to make sure it wouldn't fade. That setting performed best on that test. I honestly didn't think that any setting would be prone to rusting...
Unsolicited advice from a$$ hat coworkers. Trust me If I wanted an opinion on how to spend my money, spend my time, or run my marriage I would ask anyone but them. I have no respect for their lives and want my life to resemble theirs as little as humanly licoriceing possible.
He sold me their display model so it was $550 (normal price is 700) plus I had to order a gas water pump to pump the water into the tub from the lake since Most of the lakes around here won't let me drive my truck down to where it will be set up. That ran me 350 for a quality one.
I really have no idea. Maybe it will wear off the first time I use it haha. Like I said, I NEVER get buyers remorse so this was strange considering how long I have wanted one.
The bar between bay doors is genius. I might have to steal that idea if I can make room for it. It would be a much classier setup for smoking cigars than to sit in a bunch of lawn chairs in a circle haha.
Been wanting an Original Nomad camping hot tub for over a year. Finally decided to work the last two Saturday's to be able to buy it to use for early season riding and now instead of excitement all I feel is buyers remorse. I never feel buyers remorse... Why now? Wtf.
People either love them or hate them. I love them. It's basically like a 550 with a 701 in it. It also has a better ride feel to it than a 550 but that's just my opinion. I don't think I will ever sell mine. I convinced my friend to buy one that was a steal on craigslist. He had never ridden one...
Have you considered an fx1? If you like the nimble feel of the 440 you might prefer one over a square nose and you should be able to get one in your price range.
@The440Dude welcome to the forum and to the addiction. im not sure if the jet ski market where you are at is anything like the one here in Colorado but I can tell you that around here craigslist will have nothing listed until about April and then all of a sudden a million skis will be listed...
I have three product testers. I will be also running a sample in and out of water daily until the end of April.
No need for any more testers but I appreciate everyone's encouragement and willingness to help. I will update this thread with results end of April. Until then, if anyone knows of a...
Laser markings are known to increase rusting but I didn't think it would happen with 316.
I have two guys that will be testing these in freshwater and I'll make a decision at the end of April.
Well now OCD has me wondering if rusting would still happen in freshwater due to a problem with my laser setting...I think he is right. I have only marked about a dozen tags with our new POS laser so I don't have good data to prove that this will only happen in salt.
Its always a possibility but I trust that they sent me decent stainless. My laser setting could be the issue like you suggested. It's the only setting on our new laser that produced a black mark that looked decent. The other settings burned the hell out of the tag and left a really rough mark. I...
