I don't find anything lacking except for reasonably priced pipes that are available. The B pipe is still expensive but lay downs are absurdly over priced imo and B pipes are never available. Otherwise everything is out there if you are willing to pay.

I agree. $650 for a manifold alone is insane. That should be the price of the entire setup. It's not like they're spending money constantly doing R&D and updates to the pipe.

Manufacturing costs have gone up though and they will continue to..I do wish I had all those bpipes back I sold for 400$ or the couple I gave away to buddies back in the day..

Let a friend use my old ski and when he upgraded he let a new guy use it to get them into it...got passed around to a few guys...I take a break from riding and next thing I know the new guys are riding 20k$ rickters and my old square is nowhere to be found..:rolleyes:...along with the AC pole and pump haha...At least back then they weren't worth that much...gave away a couple square hulls and a complete fx1 minus engine and pipe....now I paid 900$ for a rough fx hull and pump and those square hulls are worth what I paid for them complete...crazy

Did you ever end up finding your old hull when you started riding again?

A reasonable alternative to b pipe. Something with a stainless chamber. Even if it was $1000 at least it would be new LOL.

Itd just be nice to even be able to get ahold of a BPipe and not a used ome jist be able to go buy one if you needed one kinda deal. Someone in the sport should buy up some exhaust designs and specialize in them lol ;) .

If protec was smart and still have their tooling they should make a few more runs.

Does anyone think there would be an interest in a central hub (A website) for jetski products and merchandise? I know there's plenty of websites that sell exclusively their products but if I were able to get the licenses from some of the big name company's (if that's even possible) to sell their products would that be of interest? There would be alot of logistics I'd have to plan out and what not. Just trying to get an idea of what's wanted and needed in the community.

That already pretty much exists through the hot products dealer network. They pretty much carry anything jet ski related

I could be mistaken but aren't they a parts distributor rather than an actual vendor?

Correct, you can't buy directly from Hot Products.....I tried and even tried to start a little local shop but they wanted a very large commitment.
