Chris, you want to adopt me? I'll move to Bermuda!

Umm, way to much and its only gonna be more. These things are money pits anyway you look at it. But worth it!

$4,000 worth of accessories last year for my single piped 2000 GPR.

Hey bill thatz a good one.. Wow yup gas season coming along again.. Easy $2500 i gotta dish out.. All at once too... Im f------ nutz..

well considering i own 4 gpr,s all triple piped and a xlt1200 stage2 if i were to say and the wife read this needles to say i probably would be in divorce court and dam% she would get the ski,s

Whell, this is kinda sad.. but here we go..
In addition to the original cost of the ski...

$2300 - Replacement hull (got ripped on hull and shipping.. sob sent collect)

$2000 - repairing and repainting of hull (massive crack in top that a sticker was covering, hull scrached to he**)

+ alot of extra misc stuff..

Add in about 1 1/3 seasons of downtime..

Let this be a lesson to never let someone who's never driven a watercraft to take your ski out alown.. idiot didn't turn his head to see another ski..

Not a Waverunner...but on my SLX:

roughly $7000 for the ski new
about $1000 for a double trailer

About $4300 before it's all said and done with on parts (figure about $1500 wasted on experiments because there's very little info out there to build a fast Polaris. You kind of have to wing it and turn left when you should have turned right sometimes)

Another $1000 to repair a nasty encounter with a submerged log (dirty punk, he could have at least been slightly above the water versus 3 inches below and given me a fighting chance! )

I don't even want to talk about how much money just to make my carbon fiber GSX run somewhat consistently...

I feel your pain....
