Act quick, he might change his mind!

Nah. They won't buy a used jet ski. The novelty wore off during covid. Literally. A doomed powersport. Give it 10 yrs Mac. Feel bad for all you guys building a business around it. Your clientele is going to get higher and higher end to a point where the niche chincy aftermarket will not satisfy their high end needs. And it will all fall put. You'll see krenn. High speed, and others. Selling sitdowns and trying to niche into other powersport options. Calling it now.

Everyone thought krash was gonna change the game. Then tiger kraft. Then small time builders. Fact is. All you small businesses trying trying to make a living off jet skis. Instead of a real fawking job. Made the sport unattainable for the majority. Good job. Jabronees

For racing what is the cost of a fully setup GP open class standup? I would imagine it starts with a brand new SXR1500 to take parts from. What about Sitdown?
 
Not many more years left of this endeavor of high performance stand up jet skis. They are quite literally pricing themselves out of the market.

Imagine paying 60k for a "pro" level toy, in which the "world finals" are held in the desert and are free for the 100 spectators that show up to watch it
It will be ok, everyone else will just join the JSrevolution! Heading back to the future brah! Sell your flipper boat and buy one that takes talent!

Someone will pay whatever it takes to win. The prices are still climbing. I bet a few would be willing to pay over $100K if the boat had a high likelihood of winning.
 
Lol. No. They won't. These guys know their customer base is falling. Only a fawking idiot who knows nothing of tinkering. Would pay 60k for a flatwater jet ski. There is only so many people into powersports left. Less and less every year. These new kids wanna be famous on YouTube. Not ride dirtbikes and skis. Their customer base is getting older. And soon. Will no longer care

Fwiw. All major oem are.going electric pretty much everything by 2035. How you engine gurus gonna keep up then? Glad I got pension and retirement. Sucks for those who tried to prey of the ignorant their entire life. You know damn well. These guys are suckering ignorant people out of their money. Anyone who's ever been a actual mechanic in the service industry knows.

I still have a superjet. Evo. And blaster. Along with a "flipper" boat.

Never wanted to be one of the lames that sells their toys. They can rot into the ground before someone else plays with mine

I actually agree with this. Look also at the wakeboat market. The lowest possible base model is $150k now all the way up to 500 which is double from just a couple years ago. All that to do some surfing? The top end models are selling to filthy rich no problem, but who’s continuing to buy the mid range models now? Even the people on forums are turning on the manufacturers and not buying nearly as much it seems.

Fat rich people can drive boats. They can't ride flat water jet skis. Nor do they care about performance 2 stroke engines.

Literally. 2 of the vendors mentioned. Are riding solely on their families name or dollar. Not their knuckle and mechanical skills. Lmfao

Right I’m just making the comparison to another market where wake boats used to be about actually wakeboarding, which the new boat buyer is doing 2% wakeboarding 98% status symbol.
 
All these builders are preying on lames who saw a jet ski backflip on instagram. And wanna post the same video for their wannabe friends to see on Instagram and Facebook.

No real rider. A guy who got a supretjet. And learned to ride. Is ever gonna pay 60 fawking k for a USED jet ski. Even if he's rich. Only a sucker would. And the vendors I mentioned, know it

I'd be a bazillioanire if I didn't have pride. Alot of us would. People are so easy

Congrats, it sounds like you've outlasted your peers. Electrics work okay on land based vehicles but boats and airplanes need much better batteries than we have in order to get enough run time.
