Thanks!

Nice, hope you get it up and running soon 👍

Thanks SBT Has been great! I'm stoked that I'm going to have skis that work this year! I try to do cool but different paint jobs or graphics when I can. I'm not the most skilled or creative in the paint department, but I think I use what I have pretty well. Camo with a stencil isn't hard neither was the wood ski. If I didn't have my own billet parts.... it would SUCK. This year my mindset is a little different. I'm not trying to sell any of my skis. I can keep pretty much all the stuff I build right now. Should be a really good year for us.

@@Jacobskibros the wood ski and army ski were my favorites! You have so many skills man and you definitely have a gift for creating things that you imagine in your head. I know I sure would love to see the wave jammer get a little more power if you have time this year! Another thing that I am dying to see is for you guys to experiment on a cheap ski by grinding all of the chines smooth and making the entire hull a round, smooth, bathtub and see how terrifying it is to ride and do spins! Early 90’s 3 seater seadoo gtx, gts, and gti hulls are essentially chineless with only two small fins on the ride plate. Those would be great candidates! Any ski will do but three seaters work the best for super long crazy slides and spins!

Thanks. It’s great to get help with the parts from sbt. We are having good luck with their products so far. So I’m happy about that. Also Jacob has a talent for creating paint schemes. He makes really interesting designs, I certainly don’t have the mindset for that.

We got our start in pwc videos with stand up jetski content. So even though it’s less popular overall than sit down content, we still make standup videos. Because it matters to us

Thanks 👍

Glad you like them!

Haha, oh yeah the general. I wonder if Jacob will ever do that character again

@@JetSkiBrothers i bought the shirt!!!

Thanks I think that's how you make videos if you want more people to watch than just core enthusiasts. In some ways it's annoying to film, but in the end you get a more coherent nicer video. There's only a handful of people that want every detail. I also really think Josh has been doing really good production and when the videos are better you want more people to see them.... But then not necessarily the good videos get the views and it kind of stinks.

Thanks, we try to make the best quality videos we can. We want the content to be good quality and entertaining to the point where people can enjoy it on their big screen tv.

It makes a big difference. The fancy blacktip turf looks really cool.

We may get billet parts, but not powder coating. Not yet. It was the Coffman or a wetjet pipe. The wetjet would have required me to move the engine forward and a bunch of other screwing around. I really hope this thing works as good as it seems like it should.

I love how well mine works, but I don’t have much to compare it to

Oh yeah the water here is usually really nasty looking. But for a few months of summer it’ll clear up and look really nice. So we try to film a lot during that time

Thanks! That thing was way more work than I was thinking it would be. There so much going on as far as parts that aren't supposed to go together. When I first pulled it out to build it, there were 4 rats living in the hood liner!

Dudes are getting the hollywood treatment these days with sponsored cranks and all! Chesus H christ. But they deserve it!

@@GoldenCroc Yeah... I have seen first hand the amount of work Josh, and the others put into what they do... They sure do deserve it.

SBT want us to have nice things! It's SOOOO nice being able to do a nice build on something that's no going to be the halo ski of the fleet! I bet this fx1 will be Octane fast but not give me Octane anxiety.

@@Jacobskibros LOL... "Octane anxiety" You need a T shirt that says "I suffer from OAS (Octane Anxiety Syndrome)" I'm glad you are getting to build something that is awesome and not a garage queen... but most of your builds are awesome, and not garage queens.

I think that getting help with the parts from sbt is good motivation to try to make the builds a little nicer 👍

Thanks 🍻

We need to do something special with our jammer for sure! I've seen 2 hurricanes for sale in the area in the past 5 years. Would be cool to try!

“Torque wrenches are for the inexperienced”🍻 I love it!

Nice!

Thank you!

🍻

We will have to do something like that for sure!

What a great idea. I wonder what we would do with one!

We’re definitely going to do a ride/review video with it this summer.

I use what resources I got just like everyone else. Fortunately I have a cool job and can do these things. It feels pretty cool running a ski with parts like that that you make yourself. The intake manifold I designed so 760 carbs would just bolt up straight off another engine that worked perfect just to cut down on tinkering time. I get home from making it and find the carbs sit to close to the cylinder and cant fit. So then I had to turn the carbs 180 degrees and run fuel pump deletes for it to work. Probably wasn't worth it, still fun to to.

@@Jacobskibros don’t get me wrong, I think it’s awesome you’re able to do these things. I’m elbow deep in a rebuild myself. Just got my ported 61x cyl back from boring, but now I’m waiting on a fresh set of 62t cases to show up so we can port them. It did start out as a “I’ll just swap on fresh crank seals to tighten up the leak down” job lol.

It's pretty neat to have the octane and the fx1. From what I could fine 1500 octanes were made(500 per year) and 1500 fx1s were made. Both have an interesting following and story.

Fair enough!

What would be the right thing for JSB to do with a jetmate?

@@Jacobskibros the right thing? Probably restore it. The cool thing? Big ass engine!

Ok, how much

Just talked to him, no title for the trailer or jetmate. Is that a problem? Hes thinking about a price. ​@JetSkiBrothers

​@JetSkiBrothers he got it at lake mcmurray a few years back.

Not at all, but we’re careful about how often and what times we run stuff. Also it’s a pretty Motorsport friendly neighborhood. Which helps

They aren't much smaller than 61x reeds. I Don't think it will be as much of a difference as people seem to think. The carbs I think make a bigger difference than reed cage size. I didn't think it was necessary to hunt for every nugget of power on this thing. I'm sure it will RIP!

@@Jacobskibros I'm curious. I got 3 650 cases laying around haha

In the past I did a 760 jug on a 650 case with a single carb and a stock 650 pipe port matched. It was clapped out and way faster than it should have been. I also have a bunch of 650 cases laying around. I figure if a 62t case can feed a 1000cc dasa then a 6m6 can handle a stock 760 with bolt ons.@@jeffbryner5355

Glad you think so!

That sounds like a pretty decent deal but we’re not looking for any 650s at the moment

I'm really hoping that is something dumb. I wish I had time to look at it and fix it so it was prefect in the video.

I'm not scared of tigersharks, but I've had all the crap models. It would be cool to try a 99ish model. One of the cool looking ones.

@@Jacobskibros one of the 1100R models.
