    Well I pushed it as far as I could

    That is awesome you still get out and ride in those temps..... You are one bad mofo! Gear makes all the difference, I can relate to gearing up and learning every year with my motorcycle. Currently I've gotten to where I ride my motorcycle to just below 32 and stop there due to my concerns about...

    More winterization questions

    Awesome stuff guys.... Thanks, exactly the info I needed! Sure can't say that I am pleased at all with BRP service or the stealership that I bought mine from. Moreover any other SeaDoo dealer is quite a distance from me and wants the skis to be left with them until they find the time in their...

    More winterization questions

    I have a 2019 Wake 155 with 11hrs and a 2018 GTI 90 with 7hrs. Unfortunately it is time to put them to rest for the year. I'm considering storing them in my heated garage but that would mean kicking my classic car out so I'm thinking that they will stay parked in the back yard under the tree. I...

    Won’t go over 5mph

    Ok thanks for the info.... the lake we are camping at for the weekend is very high and has a lot of wood debris floating on it so now back at the campsite I crawled under it and can see a piece of wood about 1-1/2” long wedged between the impeller and housing but I can’t get to come loose so...

    Won’t go over 5mph

    Spent the day on the lake breaking in the new SeaDoo when after the first hour all of a sudden the 2018 GTI 90 Base won’t go o we 5 mph. Seems to rev up and start moving fine but right at 5 mph it refuses to go any faster. I think I’ve read that the computer on the 2018 GTI regulates break in...

    Break in procedure for new GTI SE 155

    Fixing to have to start my break-in process on a GTI 90 and Wake 155 if I can get good weather enough to get to the lake for a weekend. 10 hrs seems like it will be a long time before being able to give it hell. Does it call for cycling of RPMs and nothing over 75% throttle or will it call for...

    BRP LinQ added to my 2007 Seadoo GTI SE 155

    Looks like that turned out well! I wish they made a Linq add on that was recessed like how they are on new models.

    Newb here looking for opinions

    Yea I want both of them. I have a wife and 2 daughters so we would need 2 skis. Researching items I wanted IBR was on the top of the list, it sure would make things easier for my girls. It does not have the step but yea that would be added on the quick.

    looking at a used 04 GTX

    I'm looking at buying a used 04 GTX with 193 hours. Any things to look for? Supercharger was rebuilt, tune up, oil change and new battery in the last year. Good for towing? Wanting to buy 2 Sea-Doo this spring and thinking one new and one used. Buying used worries me.

    Newb here looking for opinions

    Thanks for the great info...... I've always been concerned with buying a used one. I'm not familiar with them and their reliability or issues, I'm well versed at turning wrenches but I see a ton of them for sale that are not running which does concern me. I've seen a couple that look clean...

    Newb here looking for opinions

    Hi guys, I will start with saying that I've always enjoyed the thought of PWCs and ran across some Sea-Doo that really caught my eye so I thought I would come here for advice. I'm married with a 12 and a 10 year old daughter, we love playing in the water (fishing, swimming, kayaking, tubing...
