@Jet Ski Jim so I bought this old 51 Cadillac this summer and brought it home. I had it inside my shop and I witnessed a mouse coming out of the car and escaped into my things in the shop. LoL I went and shut all the doors and I have a 1983 GMC truck sitting in there with a 454 in it. I started that motor and left it idling till it died 3 hours later. It starved itself of oxygen. Garantee you there are no live mice in my shop no more!!

Sounds and looks pretty fast. I cannot believe how fast the new 2022 Super Jet is... Maybe a 4 stroke future is not as bad as us die hards think? I just wish the bigger heavier trend would go into reverse... There is a reason the good ol' days were so good... there's a reason...

Got up poured my coffee sit down and watched this video. Next level stuff! Mr Jim I really really enjoed this video! Man the intake to pump and smooth transition was sweet to see! The engine design in the STX Is such a good design and smooth running engine! This ski should be named purpose Driven. Good Job sir! Very good indeed! I remember back in 1995 seadoo released the XP but a limited edition and had the all new 787 in it and I was wowed. But now! I always wanted to go to your area and watch the fast boys run. But nothing wows me like the nitro burning drag boats those guys are nutz.Dont they run the big race in your area too?

But I watch the fab rats video first and that help alot with watching this one. It would be nice if you could get some one to video you while in water like in the fabs rats one. Would be sweet if you could do Drone clips and views. That jet ski looks bad ass on the water.

I would not hesitate to try. I don't think I have seen it done yet either. keep us in the loop on the project. :-)

Would this water routing be effective on a regular 1500 with a waterbox? I’ve seen a fuss in forums about some kits melting the stock exhaust hose & a bunch of junk about in-line jets & filters in the lines. Your setup seems much more simple & effective.

The casings for your wiring harnesses are soy based. Critters love eating it. It's common in today's Asian imports. Not a common subject but, with the environmental issues today, it will become a common product all vehicles will be built with today. It has cost me 1000's in repairs on vehicle wiring until I found that out.
