    RESTO 1995 XP800 Resto Project: Sugar and Spice

    I won't take my ski in salt. That's why I have the boat. :) Boat is disposable. Even though it cost more than 30x what my ski cost. LOL!

    Little one right now loves the tube. He doesn't really care for when I wanna fill up the ballasts and do some surfing. I try to get some surfing in for a couple minutes every time out if I can. Took a gaggle of people out this weekend and left the board at home as I figured all the kids would...

    I'm about 1.5 hours away. Mpower has a house on Gaston. I was always up there hanging out with him. Rented a house up there for a week a few weeks back. Hung out with him and spent a week on the lake with the wife and kid. Sold my 09 212x, and picked up a 2020 this May before the market went...

    Aluminum Rave Pistons currently for sale only $40

    Came back and found this thread so I could order some too. I'm assuming to get the rest of the housing(cover) as aluminum is either hard to find or stupid expensive, no?

    Winter refresh of my 96 XP

    I'm running pump gas domes. It's escaping me right now, but think they're 43 or 44.....I'll have to check when I put the head back on.

    RTV. I noticed one day a drop of water or so would come out of there. New gasket, tightening it, etc didn't change it. Took some blue RTV I had in the tool chest smeared in on there, dry as a bone ever since. :)

    Winter refresh of my 96 XP

    Got the new raves today and put them in. Now just need to put my head back on, it's "on" in the pic but the bolts aren't tightened down. Gonna pull them off and go over them with a bench grinder to get them cleaner.

    I'll keep an eye out on ebay for the next sale. I got the housings and everything for $100 shipped and he's on here too, so I trust the seller.

    Winter refresh of my 96 XP

    Well mine was cause the ears on the rave broke, so fortunately I found the reason. When it was running I saw exhaust come out the top, that's why I started poking around.

    Winter refresh of my 96 XP

    So I ended up not getting anything done this winter that I planned on. No new graphics, new seat, pulling the carbs and cleaning them, etc. I ended up starting a new job and stumbling onto a steal of a deal on a twin engine yammi jet boat. With that being said at the end of the season I...

    Single gauge hood conversion

    I had the same issue when doing my conversion to single gauge hood. I ended up blowing the fuse in the mpem. Swapped it and all was fine. Give you say you have power may not be your issue.

    SeaDoo Dolly

    I've done it. I restored my xp 5 years ago. I also do paint correction/ restoration and ceramic coating installation on the side so that stuff is second nature to me. It's all about where I choose to spend my time.

    SeaDoo Dolly

    You'd likely need the shop stands then and those are pricey. I've either pulled the motors out by hand or a makeshift hoist. I have an electric winch on the wall that moves my skis from stand to trailer. There's 2 things I'll never do again: rebuild 20 yr old carbs, and build wooden stands...
