Doesn't matter on engine hours when comes to stock and or N/A but when cone to modification and with a supercharger yes it does matter as those are hard on the engine. I bought a 2009 GTI 130 which has 510 hours of unbelievable all-stock it was sold as a locked-up engine I bought it as a parts donor but found out it was a jet pump that froze up I took off and the engine started and ran smoothly as if new. Lower hp that's why the same reason why old diesel 7.3 has a reputation for last forever.

I was a lucky guy with my ‘06 rxp with 146 hours Didn’t know anything about jetski’s (seadoo) trusted the guy and got lucky everything was in perfect shape

I ended up making it into 2 Calas videos 😅. Great video as always

Nice job. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I just bought a 2007 GTI 155se. I had no idea what i was doing, skit are completly forign to me. Price was competive with a couple others i narrowed it down to, but this guy was only one still responding. Against better judgemt i bought it wrapped and winterized in winter, inlooked upnthe seller, theyre professionals who id say are either lower rich or upper upper middle class. Typically folks with money take care of things. Clean ski, 161 hours, turnned out to be 163. Shortly after gwtting it unwrapped turned out the just pump was destroyed, bearing have solidified in a pile in the cone where they became molten, slung out of the races and solidfied as a pile of slag. The jet pump housing was unusable, all vanes cracked and broked. Impeller badly damaged. Called seller told him, negotiated to $300 refund. Spent about $650 replacing the jetpump alone. Realized the the jet pump was so bad the wesr ring was spinning and actaully ate a hole through the lower part of rear of ski, luckly the area doesnt go through to hull, but could of been much worse. Drive shaft it heavily rusted but prob ok. Then realized thing only wants to spin over like 25% of time. 90% sure its the relay, ill replace, no big deal. First thing i checked when i got it unwrapped was compression, didnt look good, 108,104, 104. But thay was cold, after sitting all winter with no oil up sleeves and off throttle. Once new relays in and im able to warm it up, hoping the numbers are better. Paid $2,600 -$300. Not sure i got a fair deal considering everything, mabye it was a bad deal. But im confident we will have a bit of fun on it, mabye sell it and buy somehting better. Learned a ton. Guess i had to get burned a but on my first one to learn about em and be ready for #2..

Noticed the new intro 😊

Excellent Video Thanks Ernesto

You are awesome, keep up the videos, we love watching, always making me laugh...hoping to finally afford a jet ski in the new year, I became a disabled vet 4 yrs ago, we love the waters, i'm working on getting my boat Lic, and Praying we can find skis for my (Used Fish Pro) , my wife (used Wake) and my Son (Used Spark). Dreaming big i know. God bless you and keep up the great work. I am learning a lot from all your videos. Mr. Pete US Army Retired.

hi Calas great video specialy for people without a ski and really thinking in gettting one because off your videos and JP 😁and a really learning a lot, jetski have change a lot since 90s they were a nightmare,ok that banana looked really new until went to the really important spots and here comes a questions is it really that hard and expensive to maintain a jet sky ? thatss a good one for a video right well have fun and saludos de Puerto Rico exito y salud en este 2024 🤜🤛👍👍👏👏✌✌✌

Thanks

Get yourself a Snap-On TM62A driver for the hose clamps. Its a game changer.

That previous owner was allergic to wd40. thats why he sold it cheap , not in good shape.

As always great value on every video!! I just purchased a ski like 2 month ago, 2018 rxtx with 48 hours, the shaft and everything looks good the only thing I am afraid of is the solas impeller that I have read about some failure on them... other than that is very clean!!

Happy New Year, how many hours on ski, and did i miss how fast it actually went? Also what are the downsides to your cam on a rec ski when you are not full throttle? Rougher idle or boggy on bottom end? Fuel economy while cruising? I saw your cam video, but had these other questions.

Hello Calas , i was wondering if you could make a video about leaking intercooler . Causes and prevention , I have went thru 2 fizzle in 2 yrs . salt water use .100 hrs .

How do you wash the engine compartment on a seadoo?

I'd never by a saltwater ski , not worth it!

Good morning. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Number one I pulled out my engine and was power washing the hull and I found a washer with a plastic tab on it on the floor. I said omg that’s the washer he spoke about in the last video for the pump. So thank you for that. lol. Number 2. I have some oxidation on my ride plate. It’s not really bad but I want to clean it off. I was going to use a wiz wheel with scotch brite pad. Do I spray it with clear paint after? Thank you. Have a happy new year.

No a big no that’s your radiator for the engine. It needs to be bare aluminum so it can transfer the heat. If you paint the ride plate, the motor will overheat.

I bet this has been sitting on a floating dock, Never washed . It was covered but the boarding ladder does not get covered so it gets sun rot .

Awesome video I bought a 2017 Sa Doo GTI it was road hard and put away wet being a former Rental my granddaughter was riding it the other day and it started warning her Low Fuel & Low oil we brought it in and there was No oil on the stick, but the coolant bottle was overflowing with throughie oil & water we added oil and ran it sounded good No water in oil but oil in coolant what could cause this ? Thanks

Where do I buy the RXP prop at a great price?

How do you recommend to take care of the drive shaft and intercooler? You always say they should have taken care of it better but never recommend the best way to care for them.

@DessiLu14

He said it in a few older episodes. Ride the jetski in freshwater and clean the outside soap and rinse with freshwater and make sure the moisture inside the motor area is out by keeping the motor lid open in the garage.

Maybe he had a fizzle intercooler installed. Then bought an old used intercooler to pull out the fizzle and sell the ski. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I just got a 2023 rxtx with 35hrs and it was a good deal! Hope to tune it. What mods do you recommend Ernesto??

Speaking from a 22 px, if you still want to thrash on it like crazy and keep it simple, throw in the Calas cam and springs with a tune. Night and day difference. I was beating guys with the 17lb wheel and no cam with my cam only ski.

The gtx is already heavier, plus the rxt-x have more vts, which allows you to move the hull better and the prop is 4 blades (greater acceleration)
