He already has a spi that got smoked by the GTX so it being tippy wouldn't be new to him and he has 2 3 seaters for multiple riders. Selling the spi and getting a xp or spx would make it so all of his skis have the same motor
I have a 1996 SPI and it is kinda tippy but it is fun to get stoopit on. LOL
I think you are in the market for an X4. Too much fun! I have a GTI, GSX, 2001 XP 951, HX and my favorite ski is the 1996 XP, although I haven't been on the HX yet.
How far will it throw you when your level of stoopit exceeds your level of skill ??!

With sponsons...miles.
High side in the water. Well the landing should be better than on concrete. LOL I"m getting excited. Ha ha.

You don't get road rash is the only difference. You might even have to pull your trunks up and rezip your jacket while the game warden asks you if you're okay. Just laugh, say hell yeah hit the key and drive off. I truly love the GTXs that you have and you need a x4 to finish it off. Sponsons arnt scary, but make a BIG difference, both of my skis have racerxxxs sponsons(already on the skis when I bought them) and they hook like a space shuttle.
So I am thinking sponsons on jet skis are like race rubber on motorcycles. 
I did some reading on sponsons when I got the SPI last year but it seems they have to be installed correctly to work properly. I read that some people were not happy after installing them probably due to incorrect installation or just not a good application. I found a couple of the skis you guys mention. The owners are very proud of them. Ha ha

Yeah you can probably find a blown one to swap that motor and stuff into for $200-$300

Hx’s are fun, especially with an 800 in it. But thats a lot of work to do that. X4 is best for making smiles, hands down. Ive picked up a few 96xp’s for only couple hundred bucks. Engines need rebuilt but there complete and a good starting point. Usually descent shape hull wise that can be repaired with some buffing and cleaning.
That's me.
Depending on the condition.... Less work for me, more money for the seller but I always go through everything I buy so why pay top dollar when you are going to do the work anyway.
Well... I found (2) 1996 XPs and a SPX about 3 hours from me(package deal) They all look like junk and need a lot of work. Problem with me is I'd have to fix all three. I am tempted though. The thought of the 787 in that small hull just gives me a "grip it and rip it" attack. LOL I can get a running version for $1500 and that one looks like a 97. I surely don't need another ski and all mine are pretty darn good now. I'm doing the wear ring on the SPI today. That thing should be smokin good after this.

Man !!! That is a terrific reason that justifies the XP !! LOL Gonna hurt to sell the SPI though. I gave and am still giving that SKI a lot of love and attention. I am replacing the wear ring today and just finished going over the fuel system with a very keen eye.
