Pics of my new GSX Limited

[Rampage]

Well I went ahead and traded him. I took it out for awhile today. has a few issues but I will do a different thread on that.

Looks good!!!!

 

[Rampage]

thanks!!! I cant believe how perfect the trailer is too.

 

[djredman99]

Yeah, the trailer looks like it is in great shape. I can't even see any dirt on the rims.

60 hours on the whole package. Its been garage kept.

Nice. Low hours on a machine certainly helps get a premium price. All the better for you if you do sell to get the GTX.

FYI...my 98 GSX Limited has only 43 original hours on it!

I've had my 2010 GTX for 3.5 months and have 72 hours!!! Don't take this question the wrong way but how long do you all stay out on the water at a clip. If I head out, it is usually for no less than an hour or two. Sometimes I go all day. I am a total novice at this and I've never ridden any other ski, can you go all day on 1990's vintage ski?

My GTX is a friggin floating couch, and I don't ride it hard. Are most of these low hour skis the kind that you run hard, jump wakes and have to come in cuz your so damn tired? Again, just asking, not pre-judging.

Mine is low hours because I just bought the ski towards the end of this season. It was used as a trade in at a dealer and had not been resold by that dealer for years. So it just sat there in a winterized condition for quite some time. It was used occasionally as a test ride but once returned to the shop it was re-fogged and put back in ready-to-sell condition.

Nice find. But, it makes me wonder what I will get for mine when I trade it in a few years with umpteen hours on it. Seems more likely that I will just run it until it dies.......

I think people look at the over all care of a ski when purchased...If inside the eng is nice and clean and the hull is not beat up...and shiney still. People will pay good money for your ski. I only had one person ask me the hours on my ski.

I usually go all day....and still dont want to go in after that. I must say owning a ski is the first toy I've had that I just cant get enough of.

I am with you there Rampage. I might still be in the infatuation stage with my ski but once I am out on the water, the sunset is what usually makes me come in.

I believe this all depends on if the person is new to the sport. For people that don't know any better, low hours to them means great condition. If you know a little something...low hours doesn't mean much if it was cared for poorly.

First... very nice.

Second... he is absolutely right. If it's used once or twice a year, and parked wet for months on end... it could be destroyed. (but looks nice) Low hour skis are almost worse than high hour skis.

The Polaris pic I posted... I got it with only 78 Hr's on it... but... 1) the people abused it. 2) who ever worked on it shouldn't have owned tools.

 

[Rampage]

Well inside the motor is just as clean as the rest of it. The metal cone on the back pump does not even have one scratch on it....neither does the hull. I think this was extreamly well taken care off.

[djredman99]

Nice. Cosmetically, it definitely looks to be in great condition.

 

[seadooya]

60hrs?

Is that on the rebuilt motor, thats in the ski now? Or on the "new" mpem, they installed? Still a clean ski, i dig those.

Anything, from in the pic, that yuo wanna sell......hood, gauge deflector, title for ski, minus the hull...?

I believe he said it is a 60 original hours machine, all stock, nothing replaced. All running well but boggy in mid RPMs and it's dieseling.

I think thats just the way the camera makes it look. The paint is still there.
