Status: offline 		anyone into waverunners? i have a highly modified '03 yamaha GP1300R. 1300cc, 165hp (stock), 3 cylinder 2 stroke. good for 64.5 radar stock. doing 71.4 radar now. hopefully around 74mph radar before the beginning of this season! reason why i mention radar runs is because all waverunner speedometers are highly innacurate. my dreamometer (thats what us hardcore riders call the speedo) reads anywhere from 84 to 86mph while at top speed! i WISH that were true!

seadoo is the LEAST reliable of all ski manufacturers. thats 215hp thanks to the supercharger which is great since the chargers often bust thanks to sea doos great engineering. not to mention the top speed of that 215hp engine is only 69 to 70mph. not very impressive for an engine that is already maxed out to it's top potential.

and my ski was modified more and i'm probably up around 200hp if i dyno'd it and good for a hair over 75 on radar runs. but it's up for sale anyway since i'm bored with sit downs. i only ride stand ups now for freestyle tricks.

and you only showed your ignorance since people that don't know anything about skis often buy sea doo since they do the most advertizing and they look bling bling. sorry bdster if that comment offended you, it was directed to largescaleracer since he came off like an arrogant azz.

and btw- i could say the same thing about you... why waste your time with models? am i supposed to be impressed? try real aerobatics in a real plane. different strokes for different folks.

i'm living in philly now, but keep my skis in NJ at my parent's house. i typically ride with a bunch of friends either on the del river or at various places at the beach. most of us ride stand ups though. we typically ride from april through november or early december. occasionally we'll take out our sit downs for a winter ride.

Status: offline 		Skysurfer, lookin good. I have an 02' Gp1200R. It maxes out at about 61-63 using GPS, my dreamometer will get to about 75 tho. it is completely stock except for the seat cover and I took some of the stickers off, whihc Makes it look like a beast. Liek you said, RXP's aren't as great as everyone thinks. I sure dont like the look of Premium gas and superchargers that sucks rocks into the intake.

Status: offline 		zelatio- nice ski. gprs are great skis, especially to modify for speed. they give a lot of bang for the buck and still hold the title for fastest grudge racer.

i got into stand ups two summers ago though and never realized just how much fun they can be! i thought they were old and outdated. boy was i majorly wrong!!

Status: offline 		Thanx sky. I want to try a standup so bad. I imagine they have a steep learning curve, and they are quite expensive, but man do they look like fun.

Status: offline 		honestly, people think stand ups are much harder then what they really are. It takes more than one day of riding to become good at it, but it's not too bad really. It's great excersize too.

I bought a brand new kawasaki sxr (800cc) last summer and paid a little over $5,000 for it. That's nothing compared to what a brand new sit down costs. My GPR in 03 cost around $8,000. Plus you can can get some really good used stand ups for as little as $1,500.

Status: offline 		Me and my dad are running a 98 xp limited with the 130hp 951cc motor in it. i agree that seadoos do have some of the most blow and burn up prone motors ever... me and my dad alone have put in 3 motors... an 2 110 hps and an old 85hp... we have put pistons in tons of them because he owns an auto repair and people bring jetskis in all the time because they think that theyre submarines... I ride an 87 kawasaki 650sx... we got it for 400 dollars and its a great learners stand up... i would like to get a better one like the 800 because i enjoy jumping the big boat waves in the channel.

Status: offline 		the SXR is a great ski for going fast and carving. the superjet is more for tricks and getting air. i have my sxr up for sale now because i bought a superjet over the winter and fell in love with it. i don't ride the sxr enough to justify keeping it.

you're gonna fall in love with stand ups! check out www.x-h2o.com if you ever have any questions
