had an hourmeter installed on it after it broken in at 10hrs, and since then has put 42 hours on it (analog unit in the hull close to the gas tank) and yes i have seen the skii in person, it is damn clean.

I take it back then. I was wrong.
Sounds like a really good deal then. Usually someone that is anal enough to install an hourmeter right away is also very particular about taking care of their ski.
Nice find.:biggthumpup:
like i said, its unlikely. but if you see one on the ski, he could be telling the truth...... or he could have reset the thing 52 engine hours ago.
:haha:
ask the guy if it has an extractor exhaust on it and see if he says yes. if he does- RUN FAST AND FAR AWAY!:banghead:
bk,
i looked at the stinger nipple on a b chamber today, just for shlitz and nipples. it doesnt enter the chamber at a 45* angle. its 90* perpendicular to the chamber outlet. "extractor"..... "syphon"

I'm sorry I had to laugh. I have no idea what an extractor system is either. You just sound really confused.
that was a joke to BK.
not to be taken seriously...... see my signature
:haha:
pm waterhawk and ask him about an extractor system for further details. i dont wanna get this dude's thread off track.

great deal on the ski, i would look at putting a factory "b" pipe on it with a limited chamber, an advent ignition, and if you want, i have a spare ocean pro head, that was giving me 185 pound at sea level, ill give ya for a good deal, and that would be rather good set up for what your trying to do i think.
There is a great post by SBT on the PWCToday site. Check out this link

you may find it helpful. I would imagine that anyone anal enough to put on a hour meter is probably going to keep on top of the maintenance of his ski.

Go to www.standupjetski.com and he has an outdated list of his build up stuff. He is also a river rider, site has some good pictures, PLUS he posts on here and you can talk to him along with all these other good folk..

we will have to carry you to the hospital, you will bust a gut laughing.
Alright, since you found such and awesome deal (I almost hate you) Then wait until next year to put some mods on it (this winter mabye).
But until then, get out there and put as many hours as possible on it!!! You have plenty of power and a great looking ski. If I were near you, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Mods you'll want in order of importance (this winter-although you may want to put in a bilge pump right now)
Footholds
Reinforcement
B-pipe
ADA head
Thats less then 2 grand and more brap then you'll need in years to come
Afterwards, you could port the cylinders.
BUT its summer! Dont waste time wrenching now, go and ride!
