K now that’s out of the way, who wants to sell their old and obsolete 08+ for 2k?

Plus one. When cruising, people think you need to be in this super aggressive alternating feet, elbows up riding stance. In reality, if the water isn't.. waves.. you can literally stand straight legged in the front of the tray and just drive around with no proposing at all. The previous guy who...

Yeah people say and claim obsolescence on anything that has ever broken, but it comes down to the designed life cycle. Engineers are told to design based on what the financial department says is feasible. If it was up to the engineer, no one would be able to afford anything but it would last a...

Eh, gotta try to stay positive. Inevitable 4t superjet, or stop making all-together one of these years. Superjet hasn't seen an update at all in 12 years & no update on powertrain in what, 24 years? That's an absolute f'ing joke that they still expect people to pay for that. I know its because...

I got out of skis last year, but still follow this forum slightly because I want to come back eventually. This would be so intriguing. Those guys in the proforces & kommander hulls ripping 4t's around the buoys, especially when turbo'd are so damn cool. I expect (hope) '21 Superjet to be...

Except after having been down that road, I’d rather just have a b pipe with no ski to put it in, than a 550 that only runs 5% of the time lol.

Sorry I was just talking about if someone copies it.

Yeah exactly, just wait until they have to put together a casting print and get hit with a $20k tooling bill per part without even seeing a prototype. Which is just the beginning of the manufacturing headache this would be. And after that receive a seize and desist letter from factory pipe after...

The money isn't there to sell for less. Whoever that decides to stick their neck out to create tooling for a pipe would be crazy if you ask me. The price of tooling is very high & subject to tons of testing once something actually is produced. All that just to sell a very low amount of pipes...

Because the industry busts at least once a decade (happening now obviously). Airlines are welfare queens - they don’t use money wisely when they have it, and beg and beg for handouts when it hits the fan again. Also show no signs of improvement.

I did Baja for awhile. I only say clean snow because at my school, they acted like such hotshots lol. Couldn’t have a conversation without bringing up how sick clean snow was.

Good advice here. If you want to work for Polaris, you better be on the schools Clean Snow team, or don’t even waste your breath!

+1, if I didn't go into engineering, I would 100% go plumbing, or electrician. They kill it ***if you work hard****, big opportunities to own your own business down the road. In Wisconsin, reputable elecs and plumbers are always booked solid for work. Making your favorite hobbies a business...

BK is HEAVY on the skeptical ellipsis ................................................

I was going to say something similar. Years ago my first superjet purchase, started instantly and ran well out of water. Naive me, no compression check and handed over money. Took it to the water and didn't run at all. Lo and behold, 30 psi front cylinder, rings were purely detonated and welded...

Lol, did you read the comment? If a half pound is saved by using exotic materials but 10x the cost, the half pound is not worth it to the customer.

I am shocked that you, one of the only very successful hull builders, just got accused of not doing research on materials used in your composites company. I realize he’s insinuating you don’t use the most exotic possible materials in your skis but honestly, do you absolutely have to? I would...

I believe he’s already bagging on whoever ends up buying the freak molds, but not 100%.

Exactly this. Not to mention that people assume that building jetski hulls is all they do and get upset when delivery gets pushed back a couple weeks. They are building your hulls in a garage after their day job is done. Look back 3-4 years ago when everyone and their mother had a solution to...

Sorry this sold.
