@WFO Speedracer alright thanks for that info

I'm with ya there, if I end up picking up that 650 SN and it runs good as is I'd probably want to just leave it stock at least for a good while

I did just pick up a 94 wave raider 701 for dirt cheap figuring I'd probably be able to put the 701 in it to good use at some point. I haven't looked into it at all yet but it does have an electrical issue, engine turns over with no spark. If I were to swap a 701 for a 650 would I need to swap...

@KMN Thanks for that, yeah anything I get at this point whether it be a project that I build out and make nice again or a good running ski that I keep in good running condition I plan to keep for a very long time as well. @Pro-pulsion that's good to know about the kawi and yamaha parts, I...

So do the cylinder, pistons, heads from a 701 swap directly onto the 650?

So it's looking like the market really is just worse than I thought. I guess without any of the major companies making 2 stroke stand ups anymore everything will just continue to go up as they become more obsolete over time

Yeah for sure, have no interest in the 4 strokes. Saw the kawi 1500 in person once when it first came out and couldn't believe what a tank it was. I haven't even seen a 4 stroke superjet in person yet

That's a valid point, thanks

So basically if I don't want to spend thousands on old skis then I need to commit to some projects which would probably end up costing maybe as much... it's too bad that old stand-ups go for thousands while you can find old running couches for hundreds... I guess thats just the market now?

Haha ok good to know thanks

I was looking for some cheaper skis when I came across this 90 superjet that looks to be in great condition and has been left totally oem/stock. Guy says has only had a carb rebuild and runs great. Wants $3k which seems like a lot for a 35 year old ski. Is that high or is that about what these...

Thanks for that info on those. And you're right, I've definitely learned you can't have the mentality of being able to sell it for everything you put into it. Put into it what you need to have fun riding it is the mentality.

I'm looking for some advice for buying some older skis. As my kids have gotten older and taken to riding pretty well I'd like to have a few more so we can all get out and ride and also for friends to get out on. A little background. I originally tried to get into this sport late summer of 2016...

I just picked up an old 440 I want to do a build with, this is inspiring me! Looking good so far

So what's the best way to secure your ski to these? Just wrap a ratchet strap around the whole thing or is there a better way? I currently have a versahaul carrier and it has a bow stop and pin. (In case anyone is wondering the versahaul is junk and will probably fall apart within the next...

Great thanks for the info, I'll probably go with the Big Foot then and save a couple hundred bucks.

Thanks for the reply Kahuna, do you know if one is wider than the other? Or capable of toting a spark? I'm wanting to make it out to some more remote lakes this summer and backing my truck into lakes isn't always a [smart] option so I may need to use it for that. But if not, that'll probably be...

I figured he meant he had a wench bring him a beer to drink while she loaded his ski

I was looking to get some insight from people that have used these beach totes. I'll be using it primarily for a superjet but was wondering if anyone knows if either one would also be able hold a seadoo spark 2up if needed? Also, any big differences between the Factory Zero and Bigfoot? Is...
