Finally got the skis out...

Not out on the water, just out of the garage..

Installed my batteries and installed new LED tail lights, the right way..

The OEM lights used the pivot clamps to splice the wire. I soldered the connections and the used heat shrink on them.

Inside cooling off for a few then back out to install "pop-up" cleats. So next step is to drill holes in my skis...

Have about 700 dollars worth of goodies to install, but want to get to the water and make sure all is good to go before I start doing performance mods..

I was going to hit the lake today, but decided to just keep on working on them..

Batteries, pop-up cleats, new recreation stickers, air up the tires to correct level including my push dolly and some general cleaning.

So,,, maybe this weekend I can get them wet..

Good deal man.. Preparation is good, I know I double and triple check everything so there's few surprises actually at the launch or in the water.. Though I blew out an exhaust coupler last time out so we had 1 of 4 skis down.. But still a good time

My first outing was May 11, and I've put 15 hours on my 97 and 18 hours on the 96 so far this season lol (the 97 usually gets more but that's the one that broke last saturday)
