Here is ski number two bound for the trip. Evidently this fella read JSG's thread on polishing hulls

Looks good, if you use the yellow wax that meguiars has, it will make your seadoo smell like a banana now and later. Another good trick that sounds weird but works is peanut butter on the faded plastic parts, on the black it works really well. But then your 96xp will smell like a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Just use a small amount of peanut butter on a rag and rub it on.
 
JSG, how in the tarnation did you find out about the "peanut butter" trick?

Does anyone make a RED wax in either strawberry or cherry or maybe a GREEN lime wax?????? ....:)
 
i would assume its the oil in the PB that does it....thats also the reason the heat gun works on some plastics. It pulls the oils to the top of the plastic.
 
If I went all the way through with that procedure then I'd be tempted to take a bite out of it! The thing that makes that one special is the two exhaust outlets in back :biggrinjester:








I'm trying to say there is a 951 hiding under the seat :thumbsup:

Yes it's fresh from Michigan and still winterized. Zero fade, zero mildew, and never even seen salt water.....yet
 
Ok guys...I am just going to have to biatch out. It isnt that money is THAT tight although I prob shouldnt spend it...but I have a house addition I really need to concentrate on as well as getting some of my spring skis ready(more $$)

I had a couple calls on this Pro 785...both guys sounded super hot, but never called back. That would have been huge in the dead of winter.

Lets put it this way...if the tix stay the same price ($380) and I sell something big (we have a guy who sounds hot on our explorer, but so did the pro 785 peeps) I will go. If things stay as they are...Im out.
 
Sorry to hear that Minne, good luck on those winter sales! Here goes the 951 pics!

I know man Im still bummed. Between Matt's and chuck's crazy machines its a seadoo lovers wet dream. Plus...Lots of friends in the industry to meet up with in Daytona. Who knows, maybe that guy will buy the explorer and Ill have the dough.

Dennis; you get up here for an event and I got you covered on a machine and camping stuff. The Dells event in June has cabins on site.

Matt...on the 951. A few things I see that need to be done. First. You need the seal that goes around the mani/pipe area. Some call it the "diaper" it wraps around that seal and keeps any water that potentially leaks out of that seal out of your carbs and funnels it away from the carbs.

Then, I would get some pre filters on those flame arrestors. If you want the best, buy some frogskinz material and have someone stitch them up for you.

If you plan to jump it I would worry about water slipping past the seat seal and pouring in the carb. I had that issue last summer when landing vertically. All I did was cut a plastic jug apart and used a piece of it duck taped it to the hull, and put it over the flame arrestors. Then when the water comes in it diverts it from the intakes.

Lastly...hull drainage. Duckbills or versa-plugs. It keeps water out of the hull so it doesnt bounce around.

Water ingestion is the ultimate enemy to any motor, but esp. the 951.

Thanks for the tips Nick. I was definitely gonna hit it with the outer wears but knew nothing of that other missing piece.
I just got in from a ride. I hit 60.5 in light chop turning 7070 rpm.

Somethings not right Chuck is turning about the same rpm and running 68mph what prop is in there.

No clue. Sounds like I need to ask chuck what prop should be in there. You know how I hate to shop for used parts:rolleyes:
