Super Chicken

Shocked when another Kawasaki SC showed up 2 hours from my house. This is my second and have never seen one this clean. When he pulled the cover off i could not believe it was that clean. Original owner with all receipts and paperwork. The bad, oil injection line came off 155PSI front 40PSI rear. Still runs, but its gonna need a top end. How many NY guys tried to get this?

Its funny how jetskiers have an OMG moment when they see an old one that hasn't been neglected or destroyed.

When they were new I didn’t even look once

Got it for almost nothing.

Gosh they are over the top fun.. I just giggle like a little school girl when I ride one.. Our crew has one and hopefully this winter it will get a Yamaha 701 with a B-pipe.. I pray that set up works because the fun factor will go up a million fold.

The Coffman or pjs pipes also run pretty well in the chickens

Jamestown

Glad it went to a good home! Was it a Marketplace find? My buddy got a beautiful Shuttlecraft with the original trailer from Jamestown (with the same dealer sticker as your Super Chicken) off Marketplace last year. That dealer must have sold some cool not so common watercraft back then.

Ya, marketplace. About 10 or 15 years ago I drove up there for something and noticed 2 WB1s on a trailer sitting in a back yard. Stopped and asked the guy and he said they were his sons and if i could get them out of there today I could have them. Went to store and got 2 tires/wheels and pulled them home. Popped hoods on them and they were both full race skis with everything including B-pipes. There is some money living on that lake.

What a score that was on those Blasters!!! Do you still have them? You are right about money living on that lake, lots of folks from Cleveland and Erie have been buying up places there at crazy high prices. My aunt and uncle had a place there in the late 90's early 2000's and prices aren't nearly what they are now. Oddly enough, at the one end of the lake, Jamestown, is one of the worst, poorest, most depressed, drug and violence infested city per capita in all of upstate NY.

No, long gone. I drove blasters for years, then I got a Tigercraft Viper. Haven't rode one since. I have two identical vipers, one just sits as a backup so I never miss any of summer if I have any break downs.
