Anyone into StandUp skis?
Been toying with the idea for a while and just went and grabbed a couple stand-ups - well, truth be told, I grabbed one and then told him I'd give him full asking if he'd throw in the extra ski he had with an engine, pump and two carbs. I think he took sympathy on me once I told him I had two kids and figured I would need two skis....
1987 JS550 and a 1978 project ski. I'm liking the Neon! Can't wait until summer.....

Only thing about older skiis is they are slow compared to the newer stuff. So if these are for kids, slower is probably ideal but if a 230 lb guy is trying to get it up on plane there might be a problem.

Wow, that brings back memories! A buddy had a Kawasaki 440 if my memory is correct, and once one got the hang of it, was beyond fun. REALLY gave you a workout though! Gawd...30+ years and 30+ pounds ago, lol!

Yup, 3 in the family. The teenagers rescued them and rebuilt them to get back on the water. Proof Some teens don’t bury themselves inside. Thank god.
