Unless you had all your parts powder coated in gold, your ski is not worth 20k. You may have spent 20k on it, but you would never get that for it unless the person buying it was brain damaged.

considering the cost of repairs, its a worthwhile option ( in my opinion) and adds to resale value. Of course when buying new you want to try to negotiate on the price if you're up to it. Make SURE...

once blower bearings are exposed to motor oil and a running engine, the clock starts ticking on their lifespan.

The bearing cages are made of plastic

ignoring this advice seldomly works out...

Stay on point Wolf. Luke and Reaper both mentioned the lack of seat grip and the ergo was mentioned as a possible mod. The number of cylinders is unrelated to the topic. Not sure what your point...

Minor damage to the 'Ski. However, has your wife seen a doctor? A massive bruise like that could cause a serious blood clot!

Just to clear some things up about how the bellows and carbon seal work.
#1, a soft Bellows will not cause the ski to sink, Heat fron running the engine onland will not hurt the bellows (unless it's...

I wouldn't. It wasn't the dealer's fault, and I'm sure their business has been hurting due to inability to get inventory.

This 15f has the best designed hull of all time! It’s basically the same hull that won many championships on the ‘01 1200 stxr! The 15f was introduced in ‘04 and is definitely one of the fastest...

Sounds like its okay for now. I suggest getting a service manual and following the inspection checklist. Owners manual may have it as well. The older 2 bearing pumps can start to have issues as early...

6700 rpm and 57mph is spot on! It's running perfect!

You will get conflicting reports because these are high strung machines (All high output skis, not just seadoo)
Things can break, even if you maintain it and take care of it. You reduce the chances...

Yep rode it! Purple is the way go, they look great in person. The other color that looks like yellow in a lot of pictures is more orange. I didn't care for it. Looking like November, I should...

Some of us like a violent, rough, aggressive powercurve, and wet machine. The Spark is the closest you can get to a two stroke sit down today. People always assume it's because of the price, but it...

I use the XPS anti corrosive spray - I spray it on every (metal) part in the engine bay.
Try to spray also the backside of the intercooler and on the exhaust...

I'm on a freshwater river so I do...

The SVHO engine is not reliable as far as supercharger goes. Sorry bud no way no how for me considering the price point of those skis. To many failures! Unless you put Deans clutch in you will be...

Yamaha really needs to fix the turd svho supercharger clutches. At least it will still go 50 mph with blown clutch so that is good.

But then you get passed by the turd 951 ski from 2002 that goes...

This is another customer. 2500hp GTO.
I got this! I’m just not familiar with the engine platform.
I am playing. I have 5 skis. This 12F gives me a good excuse to go into it. I want to ask questions...

todays over under on the no start:

Compression problem 2:1
anything else 1:9

a video of the engine cranking will help us tell just by the sound if anything is out of order. I've shocked quite...

The bugs were never really worked out with the FICHT ECUs. Polaris had no path forward without a 2 stroke fuel injection system they owned and met the pending emissions regulation. Agreed on lack...

The EasyRider 2 piece driveshaft utilizes a bolt in bearing carrier in place of the stock plastic bolt in hull insert. I opted for this setup mainly to avoid breaking the stock driveshaft with the...

Just make some substitutions for whatever vehicle service industry you happen to work in.

I don't talk about it much anymore, but I actually worked at a Harley dealership in Brooklyn NYC for two...

300 hours?

......is only 12.5 days. If that's impressive for what is basically just an engine and a water pump, yeah, that's a problem.

The Yamaha forum is a nightmare. Seadoo forum is still...

Skis are sold pending pickup tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for your support and interest!
