    American made products and great customer service

    My Goruck group recently had a run of custom bottles made sporting Goruck Challenge and Green Beret Foundation logos as a fundraiser for, you guessed it, the GBF. Very nice bottles made in America, produced by Liberty Bottle Works. Well the other day my bottle was knocked off my desk and fell...

    Tips on removing stickers?

    My T-X port side stickers are a little ripped on the edges. Obviously not a project for the middle of the season (I got it in July) but now that I'm taking it out for the winter I want to start this. I will be removing the damaged stickers and seeing how it looks sticker-less. If I like it, I'll...

    I heard that my gauges are 97-only. Is that true? I'm talking about the info gauge specifically but curious about the others as well. Thanks.

    97 gtx revs fall then max out at 5200

    I'll be riding on relatively flat water at say 5500 rpm, and the rpm's will suddenly drop to 5200. Doesn't matter if I pull the trigger all the way to go WOT, it won't go above that unless I back off the throttle or go over a wave, then it'll go all the way to redline no problem....until this...

    Rear seat caps (the pointy part) - where to find?

    You know the little caps for the rear seat on GTXs? I need new ones. I can't seem to find them anywhere or find a technical term for them. My seat is green if it matters. Ski is a 97 GTX. I had no idea what section to put this in.

    2 years since rebuild...things to watch? (nothing wrong...yet)

    There's nothing wrong with it, and outside of a tank of bad gas it has run flawlessly (knock on wood). Anything I should keep an eye on/replace before it fails? Ski is a 97 GTX 787.

    Need speech topic ideas - topic is why you should try jet skiing

    I figured you guys would like the topic. It's my last oral comm requirement and we have to make a 5-7 minute speech on it. I'm working on my outline now but a few main ideas I have are: Fun Relatively inexpensive Easy/cheap to maintain Can do most things a boat can for less Easier to...

    calling 215/255 ski owners

    I'm possibly looking at getting one in the next season or two and I'm curious to see the differences between those and my 787 GTX. How is the gas usage? Maintenance? How much different is the ride and how does it take the waves? (yours is obviously a lot heavier) I'll add more if I think...

    97 GTX Info center went out

    It flickered on and off for a few min while riding this weekend, then just stayed off. Which connections can I check to see if they jiggled loose over waves before it's decided I have to replace things?

    200 RPM drop then steady cruise

    Basically, I'll be driving at a steady, say, 4800 rpm cruise. All of a sudden, it will drop to 4600, and be like cruise control, with it only varying if i take my hand off the throttle or if I really nail it or if I go over a big enough wave for it to completely come out of the water. It's done...

    Inconsistent beeps when key on?

    Why is it that sometimes I get the loud double beep when I put on my key, and sometimes a quiet one, and sometimes nothing at all? It always starts/runs fine, so I thought it was rather odd.

    Revs pause when taking off 97 gtx

    Every once in a while, when I leave the no-wake zone, I'll hit the gas (say 1/2 throttle-ish) and the revs will go to like 4000-4200 rpm, and pause, regardless of how hard the throttle is depressed. If I lower the pressure, then get on the throttle again, it'll be fine. Ideas? It's got about...

    Newb from NJ

    New to the PWC area, I picked up my 97 GTX locally with a rebuilt motor and 1 season warranty, and was prior to this only used in fresh water. I know from the f-body (camaro/firebird) forums I'm on they're hugely helpful, so I figured I'd join here. The GTX was rarely used from whoever owned...
