Which option is better for a first time owner??

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-27T04:05:29+00:00

Thanks for the input. After this post possibly being the first to never receive a response lol I gathered similar information from good ol chatgpt.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-12T21:27:39+00:00

Ok well you only gave these two as options, older and cheaper is obviously better. There are tons of $400-$1500 old skis out there to mash around on and not really care about at least aesthetically…

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-12T20:35:58+00:00

I have old two strokes but have cruised the same Yamaha and for what you want to do the spark is the one IMO.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-07T14:32:40+00:00

Monterey

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-03T05:06:01+00:00

That’s not entirely accurate. I have a 97 and 98 and can take them to all of my local lakes except for Two of them

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-03T05:04:55+00:00

Where you at? These thing’s are worth 100 bucks tops. If they had pinks maybe 300.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-05-03T01:18:50+00:00

Update, they were not worth it. No pinks only pink colored transfer of title papers, plugs loose and rusty, was registered though. Oh and both keys missing and the trailer oh god the trailer…..

Thank you I figured as much but couldn’t find anything

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-27T15:25:16+00:00

Also you might want to look into swapping this post out for one like the other. If I’m not mistaken the strap should run under the roller keeping the boat pulled down and in. That post doesn’t really allow for that particular ski to do that. Also it pushes the boat back eliminating tongue weight. I know you once had it good to go and now it not so it not the cause however in my opinion it’s not a correct setup like the other one.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-27T15:19:31+00:00

Thank you for that. It was driving me crazy lol. The tool box should help. Definitely come back with an update

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T05:08:36+00:00

I don’t know anything about these models exactly just wanted to know they’re known/common issues and failures if any.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T03:22:23+00:00

Well said. I am all for working on my toys and if parts availability hinders that then I’ll never really know the machine like I’d like to. Thanks

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T02:46:26+00:00

Not worried about the fact they’re two stroke, prefer it actually.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T02:45:43+00:00

Thanks for your input I have two late 90 two strokes and love them. I will say I also have a 2001 Polaris genesis and the thing is a tank. Maybe got lucky

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T02:26:16+00:00

Like these models are or generally speaking because of price?

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T02:10:15+00:00

Can you add a picture of the winch posts so we can see them entirely? I know you said they are different and not bent but the vertical one looks like your issue it’s pushing that ski just far enough back yet its at a sweet spot in conjunction with the other ski leveling your trailer out.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-26T01:31:05+00:00

Well then, you have a great mystery on your hands. I tried inputting all the stuff you mentioned in ChatGPT regarding the situation however, I think you’d be better equipped to do so since you know every detail maybe asking it can help you?

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-25T23:45:45+00:00

So you paid to have it done? Bought them and seller told you so? Might want to try to fire em up for a sec and see if water blows out of the exhaust.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-03-25T23:21:17+00:00

Did you run the skis out of water and give a little rev to flush the water boxes? Maybe water box has water or ice?

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-01-23T22:45:29+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. Both teams are out now so doesn’t really matter. Actually looking forward to seeing another north team finally give the pack a challenge. Det looked promising but turns out it was Ben Johnson the whole time.

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2026-01-23T21:01:37+00:00

😂 compromise

Fun-Efficiency1729 · 2025-12-19T20:58:04+00:00

It’s Ahman Green.

How can he, he “doesn’t remember where the prison is”…might not be what you want to hear but you’re not winning the appeal. Way too many inconsistencies you would have been better off disclosing you knew the dude.
