Alright folks, this is most likely the coolest and most powerful stand up brand ever produced.

This ski comes equipped with all of the standard features of any good ski plus an enlarged standing area, superior engine, easy refilling gas cap, cavitation-optimized jet pump, and forward stabilizers.

stress cracks

Cracks!

Cracks in your hull are serious. Not only do they make your jet ski look like junk, they also are at a much greater risk for "going straight to the bottom."

Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to prevent the hull from breaking in the first place.
If you are serious about protecting your machine, you will want to first figure out where the weak point in your model's hull is. Ex: For 650sx it is under the hood where there is the least material from the engine compartment to the bumper. To strengthen it, you will want to fiberglass a strong piece of metal to the interior of the compartment and seal with apoxey. 
  For those who already have cracks, the only way to fix it is to re-fiberglass the entire area.

Winterizing your stand up.

"
"Burr!"
Its that time of year again. The time when all the docks come out, the boats leave and summer fun can't be extended any longer. I know that with all of these things buzzing around in your head the last thing you want to do is to figure out how to winterize your ski. So to make your headache hurt a little less, here's what needs to be done to winterize a stand up jetski that will be kept INSIDE all winter long.

Note: for skis being kept outside you will want to take more precaution and other steps found elseware.

1: Move your ski outside to an area that the water can be dispersed of.

2: Remove the cover of the ski and make sure you can pull the caps off the plugs if you develop glow plugs.

3:Tip the back end of the jetski up in the air. You can do this by placing boards or other materials underneath the hull to prop it up.

4: Start the craft, and rev the throttle repeatedly until all of the water is removed from the pipes. ( DO NOT KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING MORE THAN 15 SECONDS WITHOUT A COOLDOWN PERIOD, you will damage it.)

5: Drain all fuel from the gas tank.

6: Start the engine and run in intervals ( less than 15 seconds) until all fuel is out of the carburetor and lines.

7*: If your machine has a waterbox, make sure to pour antifreeze into it, but most standups do not have one and therefore do not require antifreeze.

Decals!

Finding good looking decals can prove to be a problem for any rider who doesn't know where to go. Luckily, there actually are companies out there that will not only make your ski look good, they will make it be the envy of anyone that catches a glimpse of it. 
 A few good places to look are,

1. www.amrracing.com   (not available for 300-650sx.)

2. www.lg1designs.com

3. www.pwcgraphics.com  (js300 not included)

Thank you for your time and I hope that it helps!

Yamaha Superjet 2014

 
The New 2014 Yamaha Superjet is finally here!
 With the newest edition to the standup community, this wicked ride will show the world that the era of standups isn't even close to being over! The craft has a 701cc engine, a 4.8 gallon fuel tank and weighs in at 306lbs dry. Although no major improvements have been made. It's still a wonderful thing that the legacy will continue to live on
