Yup. Setting up the weekends in July/August of this year currently.

Are you talking about by water, or by land?

If by water, I assume you're each taking your own ski?

I hope you're going with others! It took us 8 hours on the way down due to insane seas the last 20 miles. On the way home to LBI we made it back in I believe it was 5 hours. 140 miles each way.

We...

I saw 2 weddings arrive by boat to the ceremony this summer!

Have a battery tender that stays in the Camaro's lighter plug year round, and a smaller one that I use to clip directly to the batteries of the skis every spring to trickle charge them.

I've elusively run Amsoil in both my 2 stroke and 4 stroke (no, not the same oil!)

I went out with a couple friends to check out the damage. The mainland was not hit nearly as hard, and the main damage was to the older, lower lying areas with low bulkheads or to bayfront property....

Ethanol Shield. Great stuff.

So much destruction at the Jersey Shore. I'm sure most of you have seen the pictures by now. Luckily our house was almost completely unscathed.

Why/how did the clutches wear out in 44 hours? That raises questions about if they failed and are floating around the motor like red2blue said.

Detroit isn't the East Coast :D

It's a bit expensive around here, especially at the end of the season - even taking into account the trailer.

I would never buy a ski or any other vehicle without test driving it first.

Make sure it hits 8100 rpm on the tach, and should do 68 (or 70 on the dreamometer).

This is only the newer 2011+ skis.

Boat is on the trailer backwards in both pictures there :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I don't know of any in that area of the state. If it was north or shore area I'd have suggestions for you.

Where in NJ are you?

You have to watch the early 4 stroke years for exhaust valve failure and prior to 09 (for 215/185 models). 255 models always had the good washers. Even the good washers need to be replaced every100...

A few choice modifications help the supercharged skis get better gas mileage as well. My RXTX has gone 80 miles on 13 gallons, 2/3 of which was ocean riding, and that was packed for a 3 day trip...

My 97 GTX with a 787 gets way more than 45 miles to a tank. At a steady 33 mph cruise with some jumping thrown in I did like 22 miles and used 5 gallons. I haven't taken it on long trips since I got...

Leaving this Friday morning if anyone wants to join us. 630 AM by Rt 72

As your last line states, it's worth it to get the extended warranty - then you have no worries regardless. That being said, these motors have been around for many years and are pretty dang reliable.

Yes. 5 hours is about where the ECU lets go.

I pay $550.
