Winter time projects.....well....

Payoff some school dept...."Not easy with that blue thing in the garage"

Make more wedding plans I guess....

Did most things I needed to to the ski...

New water routing,, rebuilt very fresh motor...

Might look in to stock pump setup for speed runs and maybe Drag it again at the boat drags Red Bluff Nationals....

Might sell the boat....

Might keep the boat.....

And weather or not to add money to the boat
or just ride it...

$200 there ....$50 there ....oh I want to ride today...another $50 there.......

Oh forgot about Christmas ....well boats out for now.....

I did get to ride it the last 3 sundays tunning mostly...

I feel bad for those who cant ride right now...

Hey good idea Johnny. I might go and do that if I get tired of this CF hood.

Jumpmaster, nice "Old'-School" Blaster. Johnny5, I am with ya on the sell the boat keep the boat phrase. I cycle that question about every 3-4 mos.

Hardwood floors in office

Going to Vega$ the day after Christmas !!


Hydrotoys does have nice toys


Winter projects (in progress):

R&D Stainless Head Girdles
Ski-Doo cages
New pump
New shaft
Revised cooling routing
Ride plate modifications
Fly or Azonic handlebars either YZ bend or CR Bend;
Riva graphics kit
Replace silver cowling to the new '05 black 1300 cowling
~& other special stuff~

As for the head girdles, I am firm beleiver in them. I had two cylinders crack on the same mounting "ears", if I had girdles, I would have saved myself the price of replacing 2 cylinders.

I hear ya Rx that phrase goes thru my head about 3 to 5 times a day depending on what im doing ...looking at bills or looking at the boat..!!

Mark what is nice about the stock cowling is that I can still throw the storage bucket in that also holds my fire extinguisher.the wind screen keeps the rpot splash gaurd in place

You've seen the pics of my front storage area now just picture it with the gaurd there and closing the screen......


Washed and waxed the ski last night ....sell it or keep it....???

I hate to get rid of this one of a kind gpr...but I guess I could always build one about half way for alot less since the knowledge and parts are available cheap...

thanks rx951. hydrotoys, do you have more pics of that GPR? it looks like you have the same paint scheme i have.

I've been known to take a pic or two.

Johnny,
Like you, I put a butt-ton of time into my ski(s). I don't believe I get to ride them enough to justify the time/money/effort that goes into them. If I sold my GPR, I know I'd kick myself.

What you really have to ask yourself, is if you would REGRET selling the ski. If so, I'd highly advise against selling it.

ps-my other wintertime project.

I think I would kick myself ...

Nice Mark...!!

you will
