Hey everyone! My name is Caleb. I live in Longview TX. and I just bought a bit of a basket case ski last night. Looking to (hopefully) run in next years pro watercross event in Lewisville! Anyone in the east texas area on here that rides? I usually go to lake of the pines with my ski boat. I will post some pictures below and start a thread for the rebuild. Hope to meet some cool local folks on here .

The ski is a 96 XP with an unknown engine problem. Has been kept indoors/under a cover most of its life. Appears to be very low hours on the hull itself... I will be either rebuilding the engine myself to learn or possibly getting a refurbed engine. Here is the link to the album

Thanks for the welcome Joe! I sure hope so . Cannot wait to get it back on the water! I gave it a bath last night and it already looks many times better... You not all flooded out down your way are you?

I recently moved from the Miami area to the DC area, so I am fine.. LOL
Wife got a serious promotion and I am able to transfer my job pretty easily. I have 4 years left and retire with two Federal Pensions. So I am just buying my time and then will return to the Florida area to retire...

Joe.. good to hear man! Sounds like a good retirement plan to me... just jet ski everyday?
