hot_wire Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I assume your talking jetskis'. If so, thats not a boat. hahaha ouch. I could pull the wikipedia definition of boat on you, but instead I will just take the hate that is dealt to all of us jet"flea" owners. Tried to talk to a fisherman at the ramp today who wouldn't even make eye contact. Sorry my type are usually such dicks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I dont hate, I owned jetskis for years... I wouldnt want to regularly pull a boat with a car. My suv and full size van can barely pull my boats at times yet never had a problem pulling my skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to talk to a fisherman at the ramp today who wouldn't even make eye contact. Sorry my type are usually such dicks! As a previous "Jetflea" owner myself I know how it sucks about the rep you get. Sad thing is, I also know there is alot of truth to it. I cant tell you how many times I have had "encounters" with the riders because of stupid things they were doing. I know this is not all of them, just like cars, and I am not implying you act this way either. Just trying to put a boaters perspective on it. Just rise above it and try not to be "that guy." If you see me out, feel free to come ride my waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODoyle Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Okay who all out here in CR has a boat jet ski etc... I have a older fiberglass johnson with a 135 horse outboard in it and we are in the process of getting a tubing bar installed. That being said lets start getting more boating/tubing/wake boarding etc goin on this year. Ill murder some of you in some wakeboarding.... By watersports do you mean people peeing on eachother for sexual pleasure...If so count me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Jetflea? I always thought it was "Lake Lice." Luckily, the places I normally go to have banned lake lice. Sadly, they banned tubing too, but as long as I can wakeboard I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Anyone that came out with us last year knows my ski but a shitty pic for those who dont. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/Random/4e0b_3.jpg Its nickname is the sphincter splitter cause after my brother threw his GF off she bled from her asshole and vag for almost a month. Needless to say they aren't together anymore. I have 3 but this is the big boy. With all the parts I have ordered this month + a couple more I still have to order I should have no problem flirting with the 80mph club. I still have to buy new injectors, IC, and 15/20 prop. I have learned a whole lot about these ski's and the motors and I am def not looking forward to the hours I am going to have to put in to tune this thing. They are very finicky when you start throwing certain mods at them and they will want to ride the rev limiter hard. Tuning the prop to keep RPM's at 8100 is key and is also time consuming. Were you at alum yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I was out on Griggs most of today. Got to try my new Liquid Force Omega 143, and I love it. My new Spectra rope is a bit long, so I may have to get a shorter one, as this one can't be shortened much. Last wipe-out jammed a bunch of water into my ear that has decided to make home there. Good day boating otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindall2006 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'll probably have my boat built by my birthday in the start of august. http://www.glen-l.com/picboards/picboard7/pic430e.jpg 11 feet, 180 pounds without engine. 35hp does nearly 60mph. My girl and I will have a fucking blast. I'm going to do mine out in tuxedo paint scheme. Do you have any linkage? I have been looking around all day on the internet and still haven't found any information. Also, what is the total cost for build so far? How many hours are into it? I work at a marina down here in South Texas as a technition and this may be a interesting project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is the total cost for build so far? How many hours are into it? I work at a marina down here in South Texas as a technition and this may be a interesting project. For sure. PM me if you have any tips on this entire thing. I have 0 hours invested thus far. Total time for a "skilled worker" is around 70 hours build time, so I am estimating 100 https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Were you at alum yesterday?

Fiji ST Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 My family has a lake house in Deep Creek, Maryland that we've had since 1987. We've got a 1988 Wellcraft 190 Classic and a 19 foot Flying Scot sailboat. If I want some real speed, I just go to my neighbor's and borrow either his 1996 Malibu skiboat or his Kawasaki jetski. Wellcraft (isn't mine, but very close.) http://www.explorerforum.com/photopost/data/3549/b1.jpg Flying Scot (looks similar to mine) http://www.flyingscot.com/21.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
