Well, it's not a personal watercraft, but it looks like a lot of people are posting their boats as well.. Just got this wrapped last winter, I think it turned out quite well!

That is one nice boat! Thanks for sharing.

06 GTX Limited 215. First summer of riding in this picture. Have gotten much crazier since then... Who says there isn't big waves in NJ?

I'm a bit too timid to jump that high. Afraid I will break an engine mount.

My 2014 Yamaha FZS. Only mods are deleted visualization spray, and CanDoo GPS module.

Only mods on my FZS are Riva SCOM, Candoo GPS, and Tommy Jordan exhaust mod.

I think I recognize you from Greenhulk.

I want to get a SCOM soon, but wanted the GPS module first to get an accurate initial reading.

Added a bunch of mods to the 2015 FZS, trying to break the 75 mph barrier without reflashing the ECU. Have to keep that 5 year warranty.

Any more pics members here can share?

Just received a text from the people I sold my modded '04 RXP to a couple years ago, turns out they're about to sell it. I might end up buying it back if they accept my offer. No sales tax since they never transferred title haha.

Im more into being up at the lake on the floating toys than I am cars nowdays. Had a 2013 GTR215 for awhile, fun ass jet ski! Sold that and bought a 20' Stingray with a 350MAG, now have a 24' Villain III with a 454/Bravo. Jet skis are a lot of fun, but a boat is just so much better for long days and comfort. That and I can keep up with most jet skis on top end anyways lol, hole shot is another story though!

This has been for sale for a while. I've been so temped. 100 hours on a cat repower. The engines cost more than they're asking for the boat. Clean survey in hand. Someone's taking a bath. It's a great deal.

I have a '13 RXP-X, and a 14 GTX Limited

I am currently building the Ultimate Jetski attachment. A lightly used ShuttleCraft Sports Deck, that I am throwing the full customizing treatment to. I machined aluminum rings to bond to the hull for the JL audio system that is going in. 5Ch Amp, Honda Generator, Ipad in Lifeproof + double arm ram mount for Navigation. Painted to match the GTX limited once I am done with the work, along with matching seat/deck cushions.

That would make a fantastic day cruiser/fishing boat. What are they asking for it. And how old is the hull?

The hull is an '88. Complete Re fit and re power in 2011. New genset and engines. Top sides were awl gripped and interior was completely gone through and updated. New teak and holley floors. They were asking 100k two years ago and down to 79k now. Sounds dumb but 38' is a little small for my plans but it has a two state room layout and a 14' beam so it feels bigger than it is. Perfect to spent a weekend on. I picture it being a small condo on the water that will do 24 knots and burn around 30gph. It's the cost of everything else associated with it that makes it really add up.

Dammit Troy so freaking jealous of your water quality, really makes Galveston look like the smelly shit hole it is. At least now I live by a freshwater lake!

Actually fairly well, all the rings and console plate have been bonded in, fiber glass tiger hair, then marine tex to finish it up. Hit it all with a bit of guide coat for most likely the final sanding. I also bought lizard skin to apply to the inside once I am done with the the exterior prep. Then I'll pass it off to my painter friend for him to paint it.
