 Thanks all, this is our first experience with one, we are going out saturday and hopefully not look like complete rookies. I'll let it get broke in good before I let er rip.

Did you pick it up new? 

I used to have a 96 HX, and a standup.  Sold both to pay some bills, but I will have another standup again.  I've never been on the supercharged ones, but I heard they flat out rip.

Thanks sanddragonslayer, I'll remember that.

No aka_chewy not running a premix on it. Have read the whole manual and have not seen it mentioned.

Things may have changed, I used to run a 50:1 mix on the first tank to get things all lubed up.  The last new ski I had was back in 97, so it's been quite a while.

And yes, no throttle, no steer and no brakes. Although I did see Sea-doo has developed a braking system.   Did this one have that? 

Have fun and take some pics  :up:

Never been on one, but it really looks like fun. Let us know how many times you bail on it the first day; and don't be afraid to open her up!  :up:
