2003 GTI Mud Dawg

Boy O Boy this ski sure was funky. I picked it up a couple months ago with a locked up engine. Dirty as it was the body looked pretty good. It's gonna clean up nice. Engine compartment... pitiful.... dropping wrenches in that stuff was ICK !!! LOL Did some Clean up and took it to the car wash for some suds. I might have an engine with a good bottom end. We'll see. If not ti looks like I'll be doing another RFI engine.

Looking a little better afterwards. I call it my Hurricane clean up cuz the Hurricane Barry was breezing buy while DA Mud Dawg was getting sanitized.

Are you selling these now or just collecting. You have the seadoo sickness bad my friend.

Restoring and finding good homes for them. Only our Two GTXs are safe from being sold.

That’s awesome. Wish our used market was better here. Used junk and nice used are about the same price so no point in fixing and selling.

It's a hobby not quite a business. I enjoy helping people and I love taking $hit apart and fixing it. I might like that more than riding the skis. After I ride them I go... OK what's next. LOL

A guy bought a ski a few weeks ago and sunk it the same day.. He was selling it on Marketplace for half what he paid. A friend told me about the add and I called the owner and told him "Don't sell it, bring it over here around six and we'll get it running. When I pulled the plugs the Freakin ski shot water over the tree tops. LOL Needless to say I made another friend. Ha ha. 6'3 riding a 1993 SP with his girlfriend on the back. Oh I love this job !!! Hobby. Ha ha.

Me too but I am to the point my projects keep getting pushed further and further down the list and I’m too nice to say no to people needing help with their skis.

As hard as it is my wife has convinced me this weekend to start saying no, at least until my projects get finished.
