Ok guys, not all and sundry want or have 000's$ to spend on the ski.

So what are the general good value and most noticable changes you coul dmake to a 15F.

Pump & handling is the first area to concentrate on with just about any watercraft. Impeller, intake grate, ride plate, sponsons, etc.

You stated that you don't want to drag race, but make them work for the bragging rights. Not sure what you mean. What riding do you plan to do most?

OK, Straight line speed is not the most important goal i have, although... hey it would be nice so i guess a few extra mph would be great...

We mainly ride for fun and around bouys... so handling kits are where i need to be heading... I just wanted to know what people thought about various products for various companies that offer bits for the 15f.

I guess which area people found the money was best spent...

My biggest problem is that i had the XP and that was great... handling and speed... but now i don't really have either.... although i feel i have a great all round ski and cheap to run... nice.

Thanks

hey kawisun,
What is the top speed of your 15F?
My 15F top speed is only 60.5 MPH (GPS) with 1/2 tank of gas and a 180 lbs. rider (that's me)

I'm installing the modified skat on mine and will be tested this weekend, to see if I gain some top. Wink

we all know what those guys in Marbella are really like.... lol...

I give in.. the supajet is a tool but man that blaster is a weapon Eek

Caribbeanultra... i have no real idea of its top speed is.. don't have a GPS.. Maybe Yamama will lend me his.. but then he wil know the truth so maybe not....lololol.. anyways... on teh dream"o" it was 61mph... so i guess that could in real terms 55mph to 60mph ish...

Let me know about the skat... and any other mods that you have tried it would be good to know..

thanks.

Kawisun, 55 to 60 can not be your 15F Top Speed, that is too slow!!! It must be something around 60-63 MPH.

Where you ride? yamama rides in the same place as you?. Are you both from spain? Aqui pueden hablar español, yo también lo hablo Wink

I think Yamama is right the quad must go, SC... where are you....... lol oh and the house as those SC will be a little hot Razz

Well as i said the dream "o" said 61mph.. i guess it depends on how accurate that is..

I'll let you know after the week end and i'll test the 15f top speed on Yamama's GPS. Although if he on his blaster i will be crying as that thing really flies.. Confused

Si, nosotros estamos en España, Marbella, Pero prefieres hablamos en Ingles aquí. Smile

C/ Ultra. 15f max'd out at 61mph... thats me (fat boy 93kilo) and 3/4 tank of liquid... Sea pretty calm...

Just out of interest, i have bone stock ski and as posted in another area, it don't like the turns although getting there its pretty quick... although Yamama whooped me on his SS SXR... for about 60mts. lol

That sounds ok, As I told you before, mine was 60.5 after the modified skat impeller installation 61.9, and i know it can be better bc the weather conditions were not good (choppy).

nice good improvement... Did you get my other mail...?

Anyway... i'm gonna go with a few improvements and see what happens, hopefully i'll get some extra mph but more importantly loads of handling... although ability would be better? lol.
