barbie jetski 750 sxi 

Early 90’s skis rocked a lot of pink and purple! I’m ashamed to say my first ski was a 1992 SeaDoo GTX with a bright pink hood and purple vinyl seat covers. Not sure what 80’s skis looked like.

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r those hulls were like bathtubs! So smooth on the bottom and nearly chineless! I used to whip that thing into spins at wide open throttle! Hahahaha I loved it! I have always dreamed of engine swapping a newer supercharged 4tec engine into one of those older 3 seater hulls. GTX, GTI, GTS they all had that smooth bottom. They were comfortable though and handled the Chip surprisingly well!

yeah. they got it wrong. that's a dual carb muscle ski (75hp) from back in the day..... EDIT: actually the duals were rated at 85hp. Not slow. Let's see JSBs pin the throttle on it!

@@badm0t0rf1ng3r I heard those tr1 engines are pretty good. Do they have the reduction gear built into them like the mr1 engines in the older vx110 skis?

Yeah the camera thing was great! Not bad for the first try with it. With some better set up it will be really cool! Just need all the other skis to come together like this one!

@@Jacobskibros Yeah, I think you did a great job with it for a first go, for sure. I feel it's more... personal or friendly ... like, instead of just seeing what your seeing, or where you're pointing the camera, we see you. It's also easier to tell that you're shredding as you can see lean angles and body position. How did you feel riding with the camera? I know at first I was kinda paying attention to what it was doing and getting distracted.... and then after a while I just forgot about it and did my thing. It's kinda weird having something moving around your head randomly while you're trying to do something, haha.

@@JoelArseneaultRU-vid I didn't pay any attention to it. I was just trying to shred a little to get as good a shot as I could. I think it's great. I bought a new helmet that is better to look at just to make the one thing that's always in the shot prettier. You did all the R&d for us so we knew it worked..... Actually Josh set it all up so I don't really know.

@@JoelArseneaultRU-vid I remember you talking about this in the past and I think it has a counterweight across from the camera but I couldn't help but wonder if you could mount two cameras one on each end?

@@rickems8863 Yes. I made this one, and future versions so that two cameras can be mounted. I think that's how Josh has it set up in the clips from it, based on how he edited it.

I was thinking it might be. But I don't really know about those. It fits great in the sxi!

Thanks for the kudos. I just welded a piece of ride plate on that was just laying around and it was great. I don't think you really can rip on a 750 with the stock ride plate. I can't wait to really hit some buoys and hopefully get an 800sxr out at the same time.

Oh and I feel the need to join the bandwagon and let you know that “tHoSE bEaRInGs ArE wAYyyYYyY tOo lOosE iN tHaT GeARbOx!!!”

I'm pretty jealous of that, haha. I just tried to get another X2 hull... damaged with no engine, and the guy wanted $1250. haha. The price for stuff here in Canada is a little nuts at the moment.

@@JoelArseneaultRU-vid Yes, it was a score for sure. Every now and again if you are obsessively looking, the deals pop up, but I am seeing the same prices down here as you are up there. kind of ridiculous.

That's great! I got this one for 600 I think and it was all messed up.

@@Terrycrackcorn Yeah. My buddy just picked up two highly sought after skis, in amazing shape with a bunch of performance parts for $2500.

@@JoelArseneaultRU-vid I'm in Missouri but I've bought some jet skis from a guy down in Kentucky he usually goes through the stuff on his lot once a year and cleans house I think you sold like 50 jet skis last year and I bought seven off of them for 800 bucks he usually has mostly sit downs but last time I was there they had some strange ski thing that was in a commercial in the eighties I think it's a little miniature jet ski thing that pulls a skier but no Rider does that make sense? I think there was only like 50 of them made or maybe five I don't know the rare

I redid the motor on it and I thought it might be a small pin, but I guess I didn't care enough to remember.

I loled

Oh that wedge was factory? No I knew I would need it on the bullet sxr. With the ride plate it didn't need it!

Just curious how you could hear crank bearings through video usually I find it hard to discern good and bad sounding vehicles from video. If there's a specific time stamp where it sounds effed up let us know .just curious and mystified over here

No the stuff ships directly from the manufacturer.... I think that's how it works.

You can look it up online, but it's really hard to tell them apart. I'm just going to buy them from the auto parts store now. They never have enough for me though.

@@Jacobskibros isn't that a shame I used to be able to go to any O'Reilly's and get any number of NGK plugs for my mopeds and nowadays I go back for jet ski spark plugs and they're out of stock or they have one LOL. suuuucks.. not too many two strokes running around these days compared to the good old days
