Those are fun to ride. A bit of a learning curve. You seem to take to it pretty quickly. Easy to transport and they don't take up alot of space. Great find.
Nice job getting it running. Did you do a compression test after you got it running? If your gauge is accurate you need to be running race gas. Anything over 180 psi you don't want to run pump gas.
@@sacratboatingandfishing ngl i was a little worried when you said you never rode a stand up before. But the edits of you falling and then killing it were great.
@@Bricks707 Ive been seeing a few posts from people lately that their boats been stolen it’s so effed up. Just have one ski now. Usually just fix stuff up, enjoy it for a bit, sell, then repeat.

They sure built stuff to last in the 80s and 90s. Jetskis, cars and outboards!
