Hey everyone. I'm pretty new here and new to Sea-doo building in general. I am not new to cars, trucks, powersports nor boats, but PWC's in general. YES, I'm a newb.
Little background here... A few years back I purchased a 1990 SI (Or SP, I can't remember which is which) and a 1991 SP. They came with a custom build trailer that was never titled or used, it sat most its life. I threw 2 new wheels and tires on and tidied up the lights and wiring. After one of them almost killing me in False River over here in LA by busting a shaft seal, I let them sit a while and ended up swapping them to my buddy for a motorcycle... I got the itch to get back on the water after selling my boat (no need for a boat, all I did was waste gas for no reason. So I sold it to start a Sea-doo fund which later turned into a truck fund...) and being away from my camp which is at Sam Rayburn Reservior. So I've been on the lookout for a good deal and should be looking at a few more this week but while doing so, I sent my buddy a text asking him if for some strange reason he still had my old skis, to my surprise he said YES! So I will be picking them up from him tomorrow!! I'm going to add a picture or two of them from when I previously owned them. The plan is to rebuild both of them, paint and etc. I will also buy another larger ski and swap it to one side of my double trailer so I have a play bike and a cruiser in one package. The extra one will go on the single trailer and at that point I will either sell it, or keep it for a backup. I will do my own graphics and registration numbers since my wife and I have a vinyl buisiness on the side.
The skis both need new fuel systems and carb rebuilds. Neither were fogged. They both turn over and SHOULD still have good compression but we will see. The hulls are fairly clean and the bodies are too, but I will proabably wetsand and buff, or wetsand and clear.
Sorry it was long winded, just figured I would introduce myself and the story properly.
Thanks and look forward to getting to know every one and getting tips and help!
