Thanks for saving that poor old racer.❤
Love watching Anyone Fix Anything. Great Content Jimmy. God Bless
I can tell that you have done this sort of thing more than a time or two. I'm pretty sure most people would need 3 hands or someone to help with some of the operations it takes to put a jet sky together. You just juggled things around and boom it's done.
Outstanding and awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Merlin and McKay picked up some free99 leather, nice , 118 in the shade, hot , yesterday, thanks BigAl California, I could never stand up on a jet ski, lol thanks
That Merlon can talk anyone into doing anything.
Good morning jet ski Jim. Looking forward to another awesome video
I liked the SXR but when I saw the 2024 I had to get one. They are SO SO much better looking. I liked the bronze accents from the 2022 as well. Great video!
Wow the 2024 hull is sleek. I like it. That's crazy, some people gut them.
The parts go into Kommander hulls, pretty wild
because they handle like shit compared to a GP1
@@RyanMcIntyrereally?
That was a fun build Jimmy!
great video Jim, i really enjoyed seeing how you put everything back together, thanks for sharing

Is this a unique opportunity to get a ski back on the water, or are wrecked skis pretty available out there?
Fun video as always, thanks for letting us hang out with you this morning 👍
They are pretty tough to find. Wrecked sit down ski's are a dime a dozen though. :-)
Thanks for the welcome back, I couldn't ride a stand up one you'd have to to get me a sit down one because my legs don't work so well anymore, sure have a cool shop and projects
How do dispose of the totaled or old fiberglass hulls?
I bet that's an interesting story.
@@KrisD007if it's beyond repair like an old fiberglass shower enclosure 😂 cut off wheel and or sawsall and in it goes to the weekly trash pickup.
It's really not that difficult.
Love the info, Great work Jim!
Looks a lot different than they did in 1976. We were friends with a Kawaski rep and every wk end we went to lake with him and his 6 demo jet skis, all he had to do was let people ride them. My 6yo son learned how to run one and antagonized a guy on a Yamaha? wet bike. I am old now but the memories were great. Thanks for sharing. Great job you are really talented.
Hi Jim! In another video you mentioned something about owning airplanes. Did you fly for the airlines? Love all the standup content!
No, i am only a private pilot. Since 1992.
Nice! I fly for the airlines, and when we go to Vegas, I always wanted to check out the Havasu area and stand up mecca. Thanks for replying!
RIP to your ski Garrett 😅
I was looking at that hull. Think it was in Phoenix
I say bore the jet pump out 2mm and push the bilge fitting out towards the front of the ski a 1/2 inch getting some of it out of the jet stream.
Those stock handle bars are beyond junk uncomfortable things. I used a set of stock KTM bar clamps I had lying around, drilled one new hole to mount them on the stock steering plate and then used a straight 0 deg fat bar. That gets your bars forward which these machines so badly need with the stock pole.
Jet ski Jim - I have an early 90s X2 with ignition problems. If I made it out to Havasu, would you have a minute to help me determine the issue. She's ready to ride besides that and I'd like to get her on the lake. Thanks!
Great video! Question what is the fastest Jet skii that is factory built? What is the fastest jet skii custom built? 💯👍
Stand up jet ski's the fastest from the factory is the kawasaki sxr at 60 mph. The fastest built currently is pro watercraft built with a sea doo supercharged engine does 75mph. On the sit downs, i think the industry limits them to 70mph off the showroom floor, but there are guys building them up to and over 140mph.
@@jetskijim007 wow that would take some courage to ride that fast wouldn't it? What is your personal speed limit? Have you ridden at 140?
Lol, Lot of Courage. :-) My personal best is 67mph on a standup, and 92mph on a full blown race sit down (it accelerated so violently it had a sit in form fitted seat so you didn't slide off the back every time you throttled through a corner. :-)
@@jetskijim007 oh boy wow
Shot in the dark here but iv been watching your older 550 video and I started a 550 restoration build of my own so I was wondering if you had any old stock parts that you would sell ?
no, Sorry, I stopped collecting 550 parts many many years ago. I sold the last of my inventory during covid when they were selling at 2-3 times there value.
@@jetskijim007 that’s okay a smart collector always sells when prices are tripled🤘🏼
Jimmy nice work - found you from Merlin and watch you over there, watched a bunch here now. Any chance you have a good bone yard for watercraft down there - I'm in desperate need of a intake plate for a 2007 Seadoo Challenger 180 - Seadoo Part # 204120294 from my understanding and it's discontinued. I up in Canada land, Alberta specifically and have had zero luck sourcing one up here. I know it's a long shot but if you know a lead, can help a guy in anyway it would be awesome. Short of that, I guess I'm buying one for like an RXP and taking the old knife to it and welding in something. Doesn't look like I can source one aftermarket either. Anyway keep up the entertaining content, between the Ski river adventure, fixing them at Merlin's, and your content it's why I bought a jet.
Hi Jim, I swaped my oem mikuni bn44 for a sbn 44 on my js 550. Do I Need the Original rev Limited installed in the 550 if I use the sbn44?
If you let off the throttle as the ski comes out of the water, then no. If you ride with the throttle zip tied wide open the entire time you are on the ski then yes, you should run the rev limiter... :-)
How can I get ahold of you, I have been looking for a couple hulls and some info.
I think they get them some komander industries
Hey Jim, ski sell yet? I’m local and don’t see any Craig’s list for it. Don’t have FB or social media
I put it on cl late last night. Crazy week. :-)
I have 2 89 550s I want to bring over to you and get a clean bill of health. Do you have a email or contact?
