This video is about refurbishing an old jet ski. I mean, I think the title is pretty self-explanatory. Just watch the video and you'll figure out what it's about, if you haven't already figured out what it's about from me telling you what it's about. What's the point of these descriptions anyway? Does anyone read these?

I had a similar project a few years back with a 1991 Kawasaki TS 650. The guy who sold it to me told me that it was an "oil bath engine" It cleaned up so nice and that little TS gave was amazing for about 2 years until I failed to winterize it correctly, ruining the valves and I sold it for well more than double what I paid for it. I dig your video.

Nice resto. These X4 hulls are a lot of fun, really nothing comparable you can buy new today. I used a similar cheapo trailer years ago for a stand up but I used PVC pipes for the bunks.

@reed.k.h 3 года назад

I knew next to nothing about jet skis before I bought this one, so it's a total coincidence that I happened to find one with an infamous hull design! PVC pipe is a good idea for the bunks... how did you support them?

@VTCMart 3 года назад

@@reed.k.h I bolted them to the trailer cross bars with large fender washers. ( I had to drill an access hole in the side of the PVC to get to the bolt heads). I always strapped the ski down the frame itself. Never had any issues, towed it up to 4 hours one way with an '86 300zx. drive.google.com/file/d/1zzxylvJ_UkaCln6js_p7CzW-c21aIE5E/view?usp=sharing

I was wanting to see what pliers you used specifically, I had to destroy one of these lines on my truck to get the fuel filter off and the parts guy had a very hard time finding actual replacements.

@dddaaa8927 3 года назад

Pretty new to jet skiing.. I have a 2001 sea doo bombardier xp. I feel that it sits pretty low. The stern sits right with the water line and I weigh 165 lbs. I had a second person get on so the total weight was 320 lbs with a weight capacity of 565lbs and it capsized. Do you know why that would be? ( both the drain plugs were close and it was not filling up with water inside)

3:59 does the silicone do anything. I have that on my ski too

@reed.k.h Год назад

I think it’s there simply for sealing redundancy, it certainly wasn’t doing anything on mine and I haven’t had any issues with leaks since removing it.

@surfjat15 3 года назад

this is AMAZING what a turn around. did you just buff the whole ski with cutting polish or rubbing compound i mean , it came out awsome!! i’m also shocked at how clean you got the engine bay. i do not understand how you pulled that off....

@reed.k.h 3 года назад

Thanks, I'm stoked how it turned out also! I only used rubbing compound on the yellow storage cover. I wiped down the rest of the ski with toilet bowl cleaner. The hydrochloric acid helps dissolve the stains. For the engine bay, it was just Simple Green and a lot of scrubbing... Like, a lot.
