only built in limited numbers

Spray yourself in the eye with carb cleaner, and smash your shins with a falling jetski. As we put new life into this obscure watercraft. This model was only produced for 2 years (1994 and 1995) its the Yamaha fx1
Shout out to SBT for helping us with this build - www.shopsbt.com/

[@tommydunn8608]

I love the fx1. Most fun and playful ski I have ever ridden. Keep up the great work building nice skis!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks!

[@brp484]

My family has had a 1994 FX-1 in our family since my dad bought it used in 1996. We had a 1986 JS300 before so this seemed like a rocket to us. The last time anyone rode it was in 2016. It has been stored indoors it's whole life and looks amazing. The last time we rode it the engine ran ruff and needed a new carb. My brother has it at his garage now and hopes to get to it this coming summer. I wish I could share a picture.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Nice, hope you get it up and running soon 👍

[@cpcassone]

This is such an awesome build! I love how clean and crisp looking it is! Amazing job on that billet head Jacob! SBT has come a long way in their quality and offerings. I like how they offer a range/variety of options for parts and prices that you can Taylor to what the demands are of your builds whether it’s just an economy rebuild or a higher performance build. Their prices are amazing too!

[@Jacobskibros]

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.

[@cpcassone]

@@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!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

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.

[@henryganzasch8078]

Finally, ive been riding an fx1 for the past 3 years, and now you have one to, so cool to get new videos about this ski

[@joeyhowell5448]

I like the stand up jet ski content! it's what got me watching you guys a couple years ago

[@JetSkiBrothers]

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

[@asdmuzak]

Like the FX1 build. A Polaris Hurricane (1200 swap?) or Yamaha Wave Jammer would be on my list of obscure skiis.

[@Jacobskibros]

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!

[@bmanbarnheart4158]

Never heard of an fx1 before. Looks cool, and nice job on the paint scheme. Can’t beat the sound of a 2 stroke!

[@GoldenCroc]

Very nice build, I really like it. Well done Jacob! Anyway, dont take this the wrong way, its supposed to be praise: This video seems to me like the exact mid point between a dude just filmning whatever happens in his garage on one side, and a pro TV production with big view numbers on the other side. As I said, take it the right way Josh, its not easy to get as far as you have done with the editing and filming without a big budget etc. Well done to you as well!

[@Jacobskibros]

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.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

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.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

I'm sorry for being late to the party... Once again, I tried to watch this a few times... I even played 3/4 of it while traveling in my truck, but just haven't had the time to properly watch it, yet. Very exciting stuff.... Without being insulting, I was thinking "best built JSB ski ever" ... as it even has a fresh SBT crank.... NICE ! haha.

Jacob my man, you’re just not another pretty face, great job on the build and fab work, can’t wait to see you test it! 👍

[@Jacobskibros]

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!

[@SethEques]

I love these style videos.

[@scottmiller5173]

Amazing job designing and machining the head and intake Jacob! I love your style, get it done no faf and it looks great! Torque wrenches are for the inexperienced anyway 😂

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

[@zxggwrt]

I liked watching you dress it up with the turf and decals. I need to do that to my 87 js 300 but first I need to make the starter reliable. I have to smack it with a wrench when it’s warm to get the starter to go.

[@Jacobskibros]

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

[@boatbikemike8571]

No biggie, I just machined a billet head and intake mani. Anybody can do it, lol. Nice work guys

[@Jacobskibros]

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.

[@boatbikemike8571]

@@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.

[@gabepost2855]

Coming from a guy that’s just getting into building skis I’m glad I found a channel that is still doing it!

[@joecook3223]

I never even heard of an fx1 before, but neat build 👍. Camera hides the imperfections well haha. Yeah we've nicked the hot weather for the moment over here in Australia. So the choppy mucky water where you usually launch looked about right, was starting to think you guys didn't get that lol.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

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

[@Trevorkloida]

760 with the Coffman pipe! Nice! A powdercoat on the exhaust would have done wonders for it! Might just be the mic you use but it’s crazy how much different my single carb 61x 701bored to 710 and ported sounds with the same pipe. I just ordered some parts for my sj hope to have a video in a month when it warms up, keep on bringing them old 2 strokes a new life, even the crusty builds are fun to watch

[@Jacobskibros]

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.

[@Trevorkloida]

650s have the worst reed cage area. There the smallest. What did you do about that? I had 62t case with duel 44s and 760 cylinder with a b pipe in my 94 fx1. Also ran a 144 pump as well

[@Jacobskibros]

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
