Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
Yeah no kiddding. That's moving. The RXP (supercharger/intercooled) does around 70, and the new RXT X (above) is supposed to do near 80. But i've seen a modded one do 92mph (GPS).
55 Is still freaking quick on the water, the only reason you'd need something faster is if you wanted to play with cigarette boats. Otherwise, your average joe will NOT hang with you haha. Most boats top out at ~35-45.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
There's absolutely no way in hell that I would want to do 92mph or even 80mph on the water, on a PWC/ski. No way. I've seen some peoples bruises and rash from 40-60mph spills, and that shit's no joke! lol
Althooooooough, it could be a new series of "Lakevader" sort of like Kartvader or Ghostrider. You go out and fuck with the po-po and evade when they try to pull you.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
I want to find a 96-97 xp, they look good (except for some of the graphics which are an easy fix), run 60mph stock, and can be had for less than $2,000 with a trailer.
The one I bought now I just bought dirt cheap... it had barely been used, extremely good shape. It only runs about 40... but 40 is hard to do constant when SML is busy. Of course, the hulls of the newer ones are designed to keep the wakes out of your face a bit more.
I flew off of a tube last summer going 40+, did a few cartwheels, barrel rolls, etc.. mild concusion, but I hopped back on... One of my friends got drunk and jumped off of a boat going a bit over 40 last weekend... just jumped off, wtf? I'd go 80 on a pwc in a cove that was like glass... I had a 97xp up to 60 and it was an adventure hitting wakes... quit bein a bitch zerocool
I think I know where there's a 95 xp (should be the same as cosmos), 1 owner, supposed to be in good shape... I haven't seen it, but one of my friends has and told me abuot it. I think the guy wanted $1800 for it and the trailer.

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
It was a great weekend... except for the blisters on my shoulders/ticket I got on saturday. You and me should have a do-circles-around-redneck-fishermen-day on the jet skis... Do you have your own launch that I could use? Zerocool, do you have a pwc or boat?
If you guys are at bridgewater frequently, I'm sure we've ran into each other.
akalei... are you 24 by any random chance?

Re: Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.
My friend just picked one up, they had to order it 6 months in advance cause they get bought up so fast. This is what it looks like:
They're so fun, but they take some getting used to, he busted up his shin really bad the first day we were out. He hit the metal fin on the back and for the past 3 weeks it's been all swollen, we thought it fractured his leg. haha
