My older brother had a 400 small block chev in his boat that he bought for 10k off a mate. Easily toed 4 people on biscuits, wakeboards, knee boards etc. Now its just a shit fight to find a good area that isnt packed and has more then 2ft of water.

hey Perthzed did you end up getting a ski ??? im thinking about picking one up at the moment, looking at the Yamaha FX160's 05-08 models with the MR1 engine and 160hp... gotta piss all over the VX700 80hp ones that almost every country uses as their rental thrashers haha

hey, another question :P

what are parts like to find for the old stand up ski's in perth?
eg. late 80's js300 or even a mid 90s js550

if i ever get back to work wouldnt mind buying a cheapie (under 2k) for me & the kids to mess about on.
But if its going to be a real hassel to keep one of these oldies going i might have to rethink..
thanks

>400 meters offshore and you need a PFD1 anyway

and you will need a 3 seater for tow-in. Also as far as I know all involved (pilot, spotter and surfer) are required to have a RST.

and +700 for yammie I have a GP1300R and love it, shame its only a 2 seater, cos I'm flogging it soon

GP1300R is the best ski out there if you ask me.

What year do you have thebish? Black and Gold model or Blue?

its blue with purple seat

did a bit of work to it last year and now holeshot is incredable

spends most of its life in the air

Nice!

That's where they belong

That's the first I've heard of it. Usually only the skipper needs a RST. As long as there's a Skipper supervising (from on board) the driver of the vessel doesn't even need one.

Thats what i was told when i was pulled up once. As long as someone physically on the jetski has their RST then everything is ok.

I was talking about tow ins

http://forum.jetskijunkys.com/viewto...=tow+in#p10259

1. PWC operator and the person being towed must hold a Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST).
