Super Jet Advice on what year Superjet to purchase (I own a 91 today and want to upgrade)

[Matt_E]

A Yamaha based Jetworks built motor. :biggthumpup:

Perhaps it slipped past you, but I specifically said "SJ" and not "Yamaha", as one is a larger umbrella that makes a sub-product which I declared being over. I hope it is clearer now.
If not, I will gladly make you a flow chart and maybe a Powerpoint presentation with some handouts.
Let me know, mkay?

:lmao:

 

[Boris]

When did you get an 08?

PS: I'm over the whole SJ thing altogether. It's all hype.

A little while ago. It even has a SUperfreak hood and nose.:moon:

P.S. Don't get too excited about your new "hype".
The operator will still be the same.
:Banane19:

 

[Matt_E]

Ah, the common point of failure, as always.

 

[Boris]

Yep.
It's never the tool, always the operator.
As with every rule there has to be an exception and that's when the operator is a tool. Right ?!?

Bask in your hype and glory all you want but you can't deny the fact that "It's hip to be square".

[Matt_E]

I recently worked on a Square in my garage! I got some pictures....

 

[Boris]

Nice. Didn't even save the hood seal.
Save the bulkhead. I heard some hulls came without one.

BTW, when are you getting your new toy ?

 

[Matt_E]

I cut the bulkhead section out for a forum member to make a display piece out of it.
I've had this hull sitting behind my shed for two years. I'd always aspired to do something with it, maybe build a cheap backup.
I just finally realized that between family, work, and grad school I just don't have enough time to take on another project.
I tried pulling off the hood seal, but it was: a) glued down really well, and b) starting to dry rot. Bad combo.
It didn't have a title either, unfortunately.

I'll be picking up my new hull from the Blowsion shop on Wednesday. Road trip.

 

[Boris]

Cool.

I still have 2 spare SN hulls but no hull of mine will give up it's life for a wiring display. A cooler certainly but display, no.

Looking forward to a build thread. make sure to add some "deicing" features for next winter.

Here's my new money pit. Still unsure on which pole to go with.

 

[Matt_E]

I'd go with the stocker if it were mine.

I'm not really sure what to do about the icing problem. The cable run inside the pole is heated by the hot hands water hose. Freezing happens at the end of the throttle cable.
I've sort of decided to just not ride on those problem days. Not really a big loss.

lmao, yeah i did notice your are over the superjet hull hype but part of what make a superjet fun to me was the powerplant, pump and hull. everything that makes the superjet, a superjet, and not a sxr or octane. i hope you paint your superfreak the same as that SN you hacked up. haha.

 

[Matt_E]

LOL, no. I am actually painting it almost the same as my previous SJ. (power plant wasn't stock, pump wasn't stock, and the hull certainly wasn't unmolested stock anymore either)
My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek.
I hope to build up another SJ in the future. Maybe as a dedicated surf or buoy boat. Or a Blaster....

I'd gladly chip in for that to happen.
Go on, do it.

 

[Matt_E]

Sorry, I already bought paint. Not happening. (And having bought the paint is not the only reason)

 

[D-Roc]

it would look fabulous..... (lisp)

 

[D-Roc]

my ski is 100% stock

 

[Matt_E]

my ski is 100% stock

Thanks,
