I just bought a 2007 GTI 155se. I had no idea what i was doing, skit are completly forign to me. Price was competive with a couple others i narrowed it down to, but this guy was only one still responding. Against better judgemt i bought it wrapped and winterized in winter, inlooked upnthe seller, theyre professionals who id say are either lower rich or upper upper middle class. Typically folks with money take care of things. Clean ski, 161 hours, turnned out to be 163. Shortly after gwtting it unwrapped turned out the just pump was destroyed, bearing have solidified in a pile in the cone where they became molten, slung out of the races and solidfied as a pile of slag. The jet pump housing was unusable, all vanes cracked and broked. Impeller badly damaged. Called seller told him, negotiated to $300 refund. Spent about $650 replacing the jetpump alone. Realized the the jet pump was so bad the wesr ring was spinning and actaully ate a hole through the lower part of rear of ski, luckly the area doesnt go through to hull, but could of been much worse. Drive shaft it heavily rusted but prob ok. Then realized thing only wants to spin over like 25% of time. 90% sure its the relay, ill replace, no big deal. First thing i checked when i got it unwrapped was compression, didnt look good, 108,104, 104. But thay was cold, after sitting all winter with no oil up sleeves and off throttle. Once new relays in and im able to warm it up, hoping the numbers are better. Paid $2,600 -$300. Not sure i got a fair deal considering everything, mabye it was a bad deal. But im confident we will have a bit of fun on it, mabye sell it and buy somehting better. Learned a ton. Guess i had to get burned a but on my first one to learn about em and be ready for #2..
Doesn't matter on engine hours when comes to stock and or N/A but when cone to modification and with a supercharger yes it does matter as those are hard on the engine. I bought a 2009 GTI 130 which has 510 hours of unbelievable all-stock it was sold as a locked-up engine I bought it as a parts donor but found out it was a jet pump that froze up I took off and the engine started and ran smoothly as if new. Lower hp that's why the same reason why old diesel 7.3 has a reputation for last forever.
I was a lucky guy with my ‘06 rxp with 146 hours Didn’t know anything about jetski’s (seadoo) trusted the guy and got lucky everything was in perfect shape
This guy is a blast to watch,Im 58 years old I just bought a seadoo fish pro with 48 hours on it and its fast but these skis that do 80 miles an hour,oOFF.......................................................GREAT INFO AND FUN TO WATCH.......................................................Fort Worth,Tx
You are awesome, keep up the videos, we love watching, always making me laugh...hoping to finally afford a jet ski in the new year, I became a disabled vet 4 yrs ago, we love the waters, i'm working on getting my boat Lic, and Praying we can find skis for my (Used Fish Pro) , my wife (used Wake) and my Son (Used Spark). Dreaming big i know. God bless you and keep up the great work. I am learning a lot from all your videos. Mr. Pete US Army Retired.
As always great value on every video!! I just purchased a ski like 2 month ago, 2018 rxtx with 48 hours, the shaft and everything looks good the only thing I am afraid of is the solas impeller that I have read about some failure on them... other than that is very clean!!
I literally just asked a friend about the Solas 13/18. He recommended to run them with a stainless wear ring because of their reputation on non stock skis.
@@calasworld That RXT doesn't stand a chance with a full tank against the GTX 👀 but then why did they adjust the skid so much previously... good video!🙏🏻💪🏻
Hello Ernesto.. Merry Christmas to You...and Happy New Year... Big Fan and Awesome Video and Info As Always.. Question: What Oil You Recommend to Use on a Stage 2 Ski. 2021 GTX Limited 300 w 90hrs.

Good morning. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Number one I pulled out my engine and was power washing the hull and I found a washer with a plastic tab on it on the floor. I said omg that’s the washer he spoke about in the last video for the pump. So thank you for that. lol. Number 2. I have some oxidation on my ride plate. It’s not really bad but I want to clean it off. I was going to use a wiz wheel with scotch brite pad. Do I spray it with clear paint after? Thank you. Have a happy new year.
No a big no that’s your radiator for the engine. It needs to be bare aluminum so it can transfer the heat. If you paint the ride plate, the motor will overheat.
hi Calas great video specialy for people without a ski and really thinking in gettting one because off your videos and JP 😁and a really learning a lot, jetski have change a lot since 90s they were a nightmare,ok that banana looked really new until went to the really important spots and here comes a questions is it really that hard and expensive to maintain a jet sky ? thatss a good one for a video right well have fun and saludos de Puerto Rico exito y salud en este 2024 🤜🤛👍👍👏👏✌✌✌
How do you recommend to take care of the drive shaft and intercooler? You always say they should have taken care of it better but never recommend the best way to care for them.
He said it in a few older episodes. Ride the jetski in freshwater and clean the outside soap and rinse with freshwater and make sure the moisture inside the motor area is out by keeping the motor lid open in the garage.
@@TheRealKalEll the most costly is compression check compression should be 125 to 130 any lower means engine needs to be rebuilt and that is gonna cost you a ton of money. Everything else is just maintenance.
@@calasworld excellent. My grandfather and father taught me how to work on everything so another engine rebuild out of a thousand shouldn't be too much $$$$$ of an issue. Thank you, Sir!!
Hello Calas , i was wondering if you could make a video about leaking intercooler . Causes and prevention , I have went thru 2 fizzle in 2 yrs . salt water use .100 hrs .
Happy New Year, how many hours on ski, and did i miss how fast it actually went? Also what are the downsides to your cam on a rec ski when you are not full throttle? Rougher idle or boggy on bottom end? Fuel economy while cruising? I saw your cam video, but had these other questions.
Awesome video I bought a 2017 Sa Doo GTI it was road hard and put away wet being a former Rental my granddaughter was riding it the other day and it started warning her Low Fuel & Low oil we brought it in and there was No oil on the stick, but the coolant bottle was overflowing with throughie oil & water we added oil and ran it sounded good No water in oil but oil in coolant what could cause this ? Thanks
Me and my son love your vids! I want to see you try PB blaster penetrating oil instead of wd40. I'm curious how it will work for you with all that rust out in florida
Speaking from a 22 px, if you still want to thrash on it like crazy and keep it simple, throw in the Calas cam and springs with a tune. Night and day difference. I was beating guys with the 17lb wheel and no cam with my cam only ski.

1. Check the Price 2. Avoid - 2 Stroke 3. Battery 4 . Engine hours 5 . Jet Pump Inspection .

I bet this has been sitting on a floating dock, Never washed . It was covered but the boarding ladder does not get covered so it gets sun rot .

Awesome
Super info, thank you 👌 bearings is main problem need to change every 50 engine hours
I ended up making it into 2 Calas videos 😅. Great video as always
Get yourself a Snap-On TM62A driver for the hose clamps. Its a game changer.
That previous owner was allergic to wd40. thats why he sold it cheap , not in good shape.
Where do I buy the RXP prop at a great price?
Nice job. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Surprised you didn't do a compression test. That should be the 1st thing on any used jetski.
Come on man, That goes without saying.
2:04 you look a little beached yourself my friend hahaha Happy New Years
Maybe he had a fizzle intercooler installed. Then bought an old used intercooler to pull out the fizzle and sell the ski. 🤷🏼♂️
mmm, that jet ski surely already has a flash…
No flash just got rib of the factory limiters remember it was a good day good weather and it was empty on gas It went 80 mph.

Ok. But I just purchased the open loop cooling conversion. Should I clear it now. ?

Noticed the new intro 😊
Awesome 🎥
How do you wash the engine compartment on a seadoo?
81mph with just a scom and a prop! Oh, and no gas!
And the perfect weather
Do you recommend a catch can on all 300 and 325?
Yes
How do you recommend to take care of the drive shaft and intercooler? You always say they should have taken care of it better but never recommend the best way to care for them.
He said it in a few older episodes. Ride the jetski in freshwater and clean the outside soap and rinse with freshwater and make sure the moisture inside the motor area is out by keeping the motor lid open in the garage.

Hello Calas , i was wondering if you could make a video about leaking intercooler . Causes and prevention , I have went thru 2 fizzle in 2 yrs . salt water use .100 hrs .
Intercooler in Salt water with proper cleaning and flushing with freshwater will only last you about 2-3 years
Happy New Year, how many hours on ski, and did i miss how fast it actually went?
Also what are the downsides to your cam on a rec ski when you are not full throttle? Rougher idle or boggy on bottom end? Fuel economy while cruising? I saw your cam video, but had these other questions.

He doesn't like the smell of PB blaster. I have told him numerous of times. He prefers the smell of WD-40
Hello
Happy new year
Let me know why did use bottom hole in the fizzle to the hull and and back hole where did you put?
Hey Ernesto still waiting for your reply
I think the ski you was riding is all around faster, top speed and all, I mean you let out on him still stay beside him
I would say it has 1 mph on the GTX300 .
The gtx is already heavier, plus the rxt-x have more vts, which allows you to move the hull better and the prop is 4 blades (greater acceleration)
The biggest thing was the GTX was full of gas and the owner was a little heavier than me the RXT was empty on gas
@@calasworld gas weight does make a difference. Front end weight matters a lot
Thanks
What was the top speed you achieved....Couldn't see it on the screen ?
Think I got about 80Mph
I'd never by a saltwater ski , not worth it!
Happy New Years
Buena compra 👏🏻 grande ernesto feliz año amigo 2024 lleno de exitos
Get a Yamaha so you don’t have to worry about rusted drive shafts.
Yeah, but you can't get the impeller off the shaft.
@@scottr3141 what do you mean? The impeller easily unscrews.
🤦♂️😂
@@calasworld haha I’ve got a point though. Never seen a yammy with a rusted shaft! Better build quality.
I just got a 2023 rxtx with 35hrs and it was a good deal! Hope to tune it. What mods do you recommend Ernesto??
Speaking from a 22 px, if you still want to thrash on it like crazy and keep it simple, throw in the Calas cam and springs with a tune. Night and day difference. I was beating guys with the 17lb wheel and no cam with my cam only ski.
I agree with Andy. If you don’t wanna have headaches and still go pretty fast.
Happy new year’s wish the best in 2024 god bless you and your family calas 🦾🦾🦾god bless America 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🎉🇺🇸🎉🎆🍾🍾🎊🎊🇺🇸
Where you located
He has a new shop now in Boyton Beach FL
