[@holdenbeck8636]

I'm very skeptical of a bigger standup. My favorite ski I've ever owned was an fx-1. Light and small is so fun.

[@FinnegansGarage]

I've always wanted to try an FX1. they are spendy, though. a clean one is like 5-7k.

[@aaronnoyb]

FX-1, the second ugliest ski ever made, Kawasaki still owns that title. Great fun to ride, SH power, in a light ski. I miss mine.

[@amackenzie1829]

I have two (beautiful) FX1s. An absolutely awesome ski that I once read described as "a 550 on steroids". For me the whole point of a stand-up is that they are naturally unstable, and are therefore nimble and really rewarding to ride. Yes you need to spend time learning to ride it but I believe that makes it safer than the massively powerful sit-downs that anyone can sit on and go flat out instantly, causing accidents and making us unwelcome at more and more locations. I'm not going to be in a rush to get one of these 2021s - to me it looks like a sit-down that you stand on! (but I'll have a go on one if anyone's offering!) Anyway, whatever you're riding have fun!

[@MrBwok]

I run that same engine in my wife's SR Viper snowmobile. I have some minor mods to the intake and fuel mapping it makes an honest 143hp. Pushes the sled to 100+mph. In my opinion the 1049cc is the best non turbo 4 stroke recreational engine ever made. Acts like a two stoke in performance without all the blowing too end problems.

[@southjerseysound7340]

They've been around but they take skill to ride and most people just want to go fast and easy to ride 😂 There's a huge aftermarket for the hardcore riders and you can pretty much put a ski together with just aftermarket parts. My 98 Kawasaki SXi pro has morphed into 2 separate skis because I bought a carbon fiber hull for it a few years ago. So I pretty much used all my stock parts and spares to build another ski.

[@El_Chompo]

That's so cool that you got the real standup kind of Jetski. When I saw the coolest ones on TV and in games you could do flips and go underwater and all sorts of awesome abilities, but then in real life it seems like everybody has those sit down ones where you lose all of those cool abilities. Awesome to see somebody else actually appreciating the cool ones. Have you ever gone underwater with it or done a flip or any of those shenanigans?

That’s also when I learned about your love of boats too. Haha. I’ve been following you ever since and am a subscriber to your channel. Keep up the in depth garage videos. Super informative and fuels the minds of motor heads like myself.

[@philmadden8027]

Thing looks like a blast! Try standing forward, and loading the front of the ski through the handlebars next top speed run. That will take care of the “loading, and unloading” you’re getting. Keeping your weight on the nose, will keep it from porpoising as much. Or, an extended ride plate also helps. But, makes the ski a lot harder to launch out of the water with an extended ride plate.

I miss our watercraft. One of the last units we had that was super fun to ride was the Seadoo 3DI. It was basically a hybrid of the small 1seater and a stand up. It was a blast and way more fun that going in circles on the big watercraft. But it could still go 60 mph.

Usually you gotta put your weight forward in the tray to combat porpoising, hence why when anybody modifies/upgrades the handle pole, they go to a shorter one, and when they change the ride plate, they go to one that reaches further back to behave similar to trim tabs on a boat transom.

I remember going to the lake as a kid and there was a handful of people that had the kind of ski’s and I always thought they were the coolest looking things on the water. I wasn’t really big enough to ride one back then though. When I was around 12 or so my uncle got a big 3 seat jet ski that I got to drive around with my dad a little bit and I had a blast on it. It was so big and stable even if the water was a little choppy. I remember getting that thing up to 60mph on time and I felt like I was flying across the water. I haven’t really ridden any jet ski’s since then though as I’m not a huge fan of our local lakes and I don’t know anyone that owns a jet ski anymore. They still look cool as hell and fun to ride though.

[@danhalen2579]

Only thing that ‘21 is missing is the smell

[@edc6333]

A intake grate would solve the cavitation problem on any of those skis, I've been using the Jet Dynamics intakes for years, they work very well. The 2021 is the perfect choice for beginners or a closed coarse racer since the weight would be an advantage in the rough, Ive ridden the new Kaw SXR and it plows thru the waves instead of being tossed around. For surf riding or flat water the 2008 thru 2020 Superjet is your ski because of less weight unless you go for something like a Tigercraft or Crash modified skis if you are an advanced rider.

[@Sahadi420]

"They didn't give me a ski to do this....I borrowed it." Borrowing is giving....just sayin'. And I would rather have a sit down for the simple reason that I would feel the need for a helmet with a stand up. I'm not wearing a helmet on the lake.

I bet yamaha uses this as a selling point for this model. and adds everything you mentioned as an addon. always loved yamaha from the yz250 i ran as a teenager to the 79 1100 special street bike i rode in my 20's. never tried a jetski tho looks hella fun.

That's great that you got one of the last 2 smokes, but they should just be upgrading them to fuel injection just like the modern 2 smoke dirtbikes. Such a huge upgrade, just like it was for cars. No more smoke, better mileage, still great power to weight ratio.

Mike!!!!! pumping the gas on either one of earlier SJ's does nothing but open the throttle plates. Diaphragm carburetors have accelerator pumps

I am more amazed they have water you can get in and not get sick.

The stability of that ski is impressive

Where is Mike Cotten, Would like to thumps up if he was riding one of those

I say you trade the 2020 in and go for that 2021. Seems like a little bit better ski top to bottom. You've got the 94 for the 2 stroke ride and a 2021 for that 4 stroke. I was impressed with the hull stability and the tray size on it. Looks like a really fun ski to ride.

I have no desire to own a jet ski. I just enjoy watching Mike have fun with engine-driven hotrods.

Looks to be a Yamaha nytro sled engine, been turbo kits for that since 2008. There's factory turbo kits for the yamaha sidewinder since 2017

Love me some Finnegan's Garage and I'm stoked for Faster With Finnegan Season 2!

All the skis are cool , but when you go by on 2021 it looks a lot faster! 100 hp is always nice .
