$400 Jet Ski COMPLETE Rebuild | 1995 SeaDoo XP 720 | Part 1
Рет қаралды 122,179
3 жыл бұрынThis video is about refurbishing an old jet ski. I mean, I think the title is pretty self-explanatory. Just watch the video and you'll figure out what it's about, if you haven't already figured out what it's about from me telling you what it's about. What's the point of these descriptions anyway? Does anyone read these?

I had a similar project a few years back with a 1991 Kawasaki TS 650. The guy who sold it to me told me that it was an "oil bath engine" It cleaned up so nice and that little TS gave was amazing for about 2 years until I failed to winterize it correctly, ruining the valves and I sold it for well more than double what I paid for it. I dig your video.

I knew next to nothing about jet skis before I bought this one, so it's a total coincidence that I happened to find one with an infamous hull design! PVC pipe is a good idea for the bunks... how did you support them?
@VTCMart 3 жыл бұрын
@@reed.k.h I bolted them to the trailer cross bars with large fender washers. ( I had to drill an access hole in the side of the PVC to get to the bolt heads). I always strapped the ski down the frame itself. Never had any issues, towed it up to 4 hours one way with an '86 300zx. drive.google.com/file/d/1zzxylvJ_UkaCln6js_p7CzW-c21aIE5E/view?usp=sharing

@reed.k.h 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, I'm stoked how it turned out also! I only used rubbing compound on the yellow storage cover. I wiped down the rest of the ski with toilet bowl cleaner. The hydrochloric acid helps dissolve the stains. For the engine bay, it was just Simple Green and a lot of scrubbing... Like, a lot.

Pretty new to jet skiing.. I have a 2001 sea doo bombardier xp. I feel that it sits pretty low. The stern sits right with the water line and I weigh 165 lbs. I had a second person get on so the total weight was 320 lbs with a weight capacity of 565lbs and it capsized. Do you know why that would be? ( both the drain plugs were close and it was not filling up with water inside)
