Broke? LOL...

So through a ridiculous series of events (much too long to explain, even by my standards), I ended up buying a 1983 JS440 on Saturday, and I agreed to buy it sight unseen. The description on FB was vague. "Has title, Has aftermarket parts, new battery, we got it to turn over but not run."...

I have a factory pipe chamber that the finish has gone to absolute crap. Not interested in polishing it. I could have it powder coated gloss black, which would set me back about $50. I could have it ceramic alumacoated, which would be the closest to the factory finish but would be north of...

Perfect....

FWIW, dual 33's on my 781 last forever on a cart tank... LOL "don't want to be super gay with a big gas tank" Who says that? Who ever said "man... Wish I didn't have all this gas!" "Damn.. I'm gonna have to chase boats all day before I fill up!" "Wish I had to worry about my ski running out...

Thanks for the explanation. Last question... Can you expound on the time frame that gas goes bad? You initially said hours, which is what really made my head spin.

Ha! Well alright then! Deleted my post.

Maybe..... I don't agree, but I can see why you'd say that... But if its not your horse, why is it a big deal?

Exactly this. You're young and you think people are telling you what to do, and thats normal. We're just trying to help man. Good luck with that hull, I know you'll have fun and I have no doubt you'll be flipping it, thats what its made to do. BTW, as much as I agree with Skinnyman, I went...

Deleted.... I'm an idiot.

I wish I could spend as much time riding as I did posting on the X... But seriously... i'm asking serious questions. Being sincere and polite. WTF did I do to you?

This... ^^^^ I'm in sales... so yeah... right there with you. But i'm a skeptic 3-4 layers out from the core on a personal level. FWIW, other than FFF's ridiculous pitch to their investors about how much they'll sell.... (and thats really none of my business....) I have no bone to pick with...

Theres just not a lot of info... I live in Texas. So even if I keep my fuel in my insulated garage, its gonna be over 100* in there. But at the lake I have clear fuel jugs... been using them for years and years, leave them right out in the sun. Most everyone does. I dunno. I really want to...

Until they do a side by side test of their ski next to another popular ski doing the same "testing" I put no stock into this marketing fluff. I bet a Superjet would survive the same hit with equal resiliency. I think they have capital. Yes. And they're throwing a lot of spaghetti at the wall...

@tntsuperjet I've brought this discussion up with a group of riders, some who've been racing etc for years. While there is some agreement that leaving fuel out for months can degrade stability, (water, octance loss etc) Nobody is buying your statements below. I'm not doubting the...

You gotta test ride a ski before you buy one. That's all there is to it. If you have people in your area riding those skis, go talk to them, ask to take them for a test ride. You're super lucky to have that opportunity. Saying "I know Derrick redesigned the bottom since the bob" tells me that...

FFF has my respect for thinking outside the box. This is a pretty high dollar hobby. Sure it has budget roots... but go to Flatwater Friday during the Daytona Freeride and see the skis people bring out just for that event... probably a quarter mil in skis on shore. And the guys with that kind of...

Chasing boats on my short little Chan is a beating. I can't imagine chasing a boat on a Hurricane. I'm tired just sitting here thinking about it LOL! Certainly possible tho. If you want to do flips n $hit... you've got the right hull. Good luck with your motor etc. Is your SS switch smashed...

1. Holy fack! Thats crazy and i'm really glad to hear you're not hurt. 2. I'm 38... and a dad. Don't judge me. Punk... LOL 3. I'm betting your coupler broke on impact, the amount of inertia on the motor had to be substantial. 4. Did you have a limiting rope? 5. Have you had an opportunity to...

For the past 3 years we have a kickass event on Lake Lewisville called Bob's Wake Fest for Bob's bday. His parents have a beautiful yacht called the "PharmaSea" and they throw wakes for us for a couple of hours, and throw out gatoraide during breaks inbetween sessions. Its pretty special...
