upgrading washers/bearings- help

[bigjohnson]

we have 2 07 rxt's and are gonna do the washer upgrade ..question is , i see that there are a set of ceramic bearings for this as well, any input on that?? i am familiar with the ceramic bearings for motorcycles wheels and the added performance, just wondering if it would help much here with the s/c or are the washers enough... fyi.. my boat will remain 99% stock for atleast the 2 year warranty period.. thanks

i would only do metal washers if you plan to keep stock SCs...

meeper, i see hulk is out of the washers, i guess the next option is riva??

just make sure its the metal ones and not the coated ones

The general recommendation is to replace the washers asap, now.
The SC should be rebuilt at at 80-100 hours so wait on the ceramic bearings and do them then. The ceramic bearings is a good mod but not a necessary mod on a new ski like the washers are.
