Built a Jet Ski motorcycle with $200
มุมมอง 92ปีที่แล้ว
I took a piece of junk jet ski hull and combined it with a piece of junk scooter to make one of the greatest things to ever roll down the road!

650cc Jet Ski Refurbish
มุมมอง 2052 ปีที่แล้ว
A full restoration of a neglected 650 jet ski. It was wrecked and then sat for years. I have a passion for restoring old neglected jet skis and getting these awesome machines back on the water. This is one more step in the right direction!
Blew the motor in my 2018 SXR 1500!
มุมมอง 1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A sad, sad day... I was very lucky that I had friends who knew these more complicated motors. I can handle a 2-stroke motor, but this one went over my head. Thank you Todd Lovendahl and Coby Strom!
Jet Mate refurbish
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I bought this 1989 Jet Mate for $200 and did a full refurbish on it. A very challenging project, but it was all worth it! One of the funnest things on the water!
Wave Blaster 1 refurbish
มุมมอง 4072 ปีที่แล้ว
One of the funnest watercraft ever produced! I had a great opportunity to buy one for a cheap price and do a full refurbish of it. I later sold it for $2,300 more than I paid for it... Even still, I wish I would have held onto it. :( SO much fun!

      Looks like they didn’t give a name for the color. At least not that I can see. I think it’s the only pink color they offer though. www.ebay.com/itm/166116175405?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jPmxShceSf2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=juazclnvses&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      It was roughly $2600. I think the cylinders were about $2000. The rest was pistons and odds and ends.

    Just bought jet mate! Needing to redo the foam was wondering how u went about re-fiber glassing the access hole back in?

    • @junkjunkie1744
      @junkjunkie1744 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry for the late response! I saved the pieces I cut out of it, then created sheets of fiberglass that were larger than the cut pieces. The larger sheets I put back behind the cut out holes(inside the hull) and fiberglasses them in. Then I put the cut pieces back in place and fiberglassed them in. I don’t know if that’s the professional way to do it, but it worked for me and I figure it’s pretty dang strong. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    • @junkjunkie1744
      @junkjunkie1744 ปีที่แล้ว

      I could probably put together a video on how to do the decals. Do you think it should include both creating them and installing them, or focus more on one or the other?

      I agree! For me personally, it’s the funnest machine on the water! I have a project in the works to drop an 1100 into a blaster body. I’m really excited about!

    • @jeffbryner5355
      @jeffbryner5355 ปีที่แล้ว

      @junkjunkie1744 yep and the 1100 makes it more nose heavy so it doesn't porpoise as bad and it's way faster then the 701. My is to do a zxi1100 or gp1200 in mine but I can find a donor ski that is in my price range that's worth a crap
