I felt like one unintentional message we get with the V8 jet ski is just how ridiculously huge they became over time. XP is the fun size.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

That is 100% one of the abstract messages in the v8 series. Pretty neat that you cued in on that

[@jeffbryner5355]

I agree! These new skis have become more of a small boat class then a pwc. Price as well. Went to the boat show last weekend and they want 19k for the rxpx. I got my nice 20ft monterey one owner for 13k. I don't understand why whe need a windscreen or fishing rod holders on a 1000 pound ski that is stable in 4ft swells.

[@mjodr]

Same thing happened to trucks and side by sides and probably lots of other stuff. In the 90's a mini truck was pretty small, now a Tacoma is the size of a 90's fullsize 1500. The Yamaha Rhino was pretty compact, now you have SxS's that are like big class 10 race cars running 35" tires.

[@rarnette73]

Had a 96 and loved it, sold it due to not being able to ride it and take the family out on the boat. Brings back memories

[@Trevorkloida]

Simply, thank you for the continuous jetski content

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Appreciate that. What are you working on these days?

[@Trevorkloida]

I was working on a workbench / organization shop… but have some knee issues and surgery coming up.. I’ll be putting the 900 into the “race ski” 98 sxi pro, as part of a cheap on hand parts type of build. And then my Chinese Honda grom engine swap.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

@@Trevorkloida surgery always sucks, hope they get you all sorted out. And you heal up fast. Good luck on your builds

[@CP-kb1du]

Really Enjoy these Segments ..I have two 1995 XP 787X never Sell them thanks Jetski Brothers

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Our 95 is a 787x as well. I love these things every time I ride one I don't want to stop.

[@maccoretti51]

​@JetSkiBrothers Better than the Blaster 1 you guys convinced me to buy?? 🤨

[@jeffbryner5355]

​@maccoretti51 oh no it will never be as good as a blaster! I can drag knee on my b1 amd these skis ride flat compared to a b1 or hx. The handling is totally different. Now it will be faster on top stock ski vs stock ski.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

@@maccoretti51 These seadoos are considered by many to be the greatest of all time by many people. And I can understand how and why they have that reputation. However consider this we currently have 1 1995 seadoo xp and 6 waveblasters.

[@JetSkiHQ]

X4’s are the only Seadoo’s I would own.even the 657cc ones rip.Jason was absolutely right about the combination to start them.I was lol when he said that.keep up the great work guys!!

[@cpcassone]

this video was exactly what I needed to get me through a winter day! X4 content is always greatly appreciated in the jet ski community! I love seeing all of the clips that don’t quite make it into every video! Cool idea for a mega montage! JSB 4 Life!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Thanks buddy. Forgive me but I don't remember if you currently have skis. Can you refresh my memory, do you have skis and if so what ones?

[@cpcassone]

@@JetSkiBrothers I don’t currently. But I have owned a bunch of seadoos including my favorite ski that I had the longest since I was in high school, which was my built 96xp.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

@@cpcassone Ok gothcha. Those classic seadoo xp, hard not to love them. That is until you have to work on them. haha. Do you have any other motor sport stuff you do?

[@cpcassone]

@@JetSkiBrothers I used to do it all just like you guys. I used to ride motocross, soup up motorized scooters, bicycles, go karts, I had a mountain bike that I put one of those Chinese eBay two stroke engine kits on, swapped it with a 27 tooth rear sprocket, and welded a kx65 pipe to the exhaust flange, after a bigger carb and the exhaust and sprocket work I had a regular pedal mountain bike that could go 55mph hahaha. Bought and sold several arcs both utility and sport, did a lot of off-roading my my trucks and blazers, I sold my ktm 125sx back in college and eventually sold my 2006 Honda CR250R. Had a few really nice seafood gtx’s for several years after the xp started getting impractical when I was with my wife. Eventually sold the 2001 gtx787-RFI and bought a 2001 gtx 951-DI, sold those and bought a 28 foot Luhrs sportfish with the flybridge which was a lot of fun to go out on with the wife and friends. Sold my other boat which was a 23’ seacraft with 225 evinrude etec outboard. Basically I have been on the water most of my life and always had at least 2 boats ever since birth. Big time fisherman. Big time marine mechanic and did that professionally from high school through college until I started as a highway design engineer with the DOT when I graduated UConn engineering school. I have had some unfortunate health issues that make walking a real challenge and I haven’t been able to do much the past couple years but up until recently I was always a gear head and playing with anything that had an engine just like you guys. I have since sold off all of the toys but still have one of the boats and still have my unfinished hot rod project. I restored my grandfathers 91 Chevy S10 pickup that he left me when he passed back in 2007 and did all the body work and paint and v8 conversion. I built a nice 383 for it years back but someone stole it out of my storage. So all I have left to get it back on the road is find another v8 short block to put in it. I have been keeping an eye out for the right deal on an LS engine like the ones you build. Just to have a fun everyday drivable reasonably powered street rod to enjoy on weekends and remind me of my grandfather. I wish I had a way to share some of the pictures from over the years. Sorry for all of the life story, I just figured I would fill you in on why I enjoy your videos so much. I see so much of my own life in you guys and I really enjoy all of the videos of riding and working on the skis. I feel like I can still enjoy those things by living vicariously through your videos since I am currently not able to do all that stuff until I can get stronger and more mobile again. I will keep working to get back on my feet again and one day I’ll be able to send you guys some ski videos of my own! I appreciate all the work you put into the channel and all of the interaction and kindness you have shown me over the years commenting back and forth!

[@JetSkiBrothers]

@@cpcassone I like hearing the back story about your life. I look forward to reading comments from you and of course some of the other OGs. So its cool to hear some of your life experience. Sorry to hear you are a bit laid up. Hope you get well soon and are able to get back to the things you enjoy. 2006 was a good year of crf250, I think the 06-09 were good years. I had a 2010 crf250 back in the day. I was sponsored by a local dealership and was able to win a c class championship on that bike. However that bike sucked, they totally redid the bike in 2010 and it was not for the better. The big end crank bearing would blow every 50 hours on the dot. And the handling was weird. Had a 06 crf450 and rode an 07 crf250 way way better bikes then my 2010 crf250. Had a bunch of other bikes too but that 2010 crf250 was by far the worst. haha, now you got me going on my life story. Anyway I think its awesome that you have a hot rod that used to be your grandpas. Something cool to remember him by. I really don't have anything from my grandpa but good memories. He passed when I was 13 and I didn't realize how much I missed him until years later. So yeah pretty cool you have something from your grandpa. If you want to share pictures, you are welcome to email me. My email is linked on the youtube channel page

[@peteschannel508]

I own a 96 and absolutely love it. So much fun to play around on. Great jumpers as well!

[@ParkPiece]

Me too. Does your vts gauge work? Ever had any problems with it

[@peteschannel508]

@@ParkPiece yes it works but didn't when my motor wouldn't work. I got the trim fix module and that fixed everything and bypassed the motor power issue.

Good skis. We’ve got an XP with a bad pump but amazing the Rotax works lol

[@JetSkiBrothers]

Well get your pump rebuilt and you are all set to get out on the water.

[@jeffbryner5355]

I have rode one of these with a built 800 that turned on rails and one with a zxi1100 in it. Both ripped!!!

[@mumbles552]

Well this looks like fun! A friends '96 XP has been sitting here close to a year and I finally got the motor out to change the flywheel. Had it all back together except for the carbs and realised the water tube under the exhaust never got hooked up. Everything is loosened up again so hopefully I can hook it up by just rotating the motor without having to lift it out again. Then when it's finished, maybe I should take it out for 'test purposes' as I would hate to give it back without knowing everything is good! Cheers!

[@doublem6027]

Fun ski, had one but sold it

[@greganderson7040]

There was only 2500 of the 95 xp800's produced. 500 of them had the "X" engine that was bored .25 over.

[@airizonaforu]

This is why I have a spark and a gp1800r lol

[@akgearhead]

I had one. It was fun when it ran, but was just stupidly unreliable compared to my Yamahas. Ended up getting rid of it

[@SAABROSS]

The carbon seal used to fail on these is that right? Super fun ski back in the day, made many a fond memory on the xp.

[@juliemiller5740]

Great skis .they bake often though

[@JetSkiBrothers]

They are good rippers, keep you busy wrenching though

[@whoblowsthere002]

Man whats that beautiful area you call home? I always wonder, west coast? Side note, I used the 96 XP to build my jetjon and we have been loving it for many years. I wish those engines had throttle response though, do you know what thats about with the lack of tip in throttle response on those designs?

[@WJansen]

An fool ziptided the hose.. sorry mate that fool know more than you. haha. metal clamps cut the hose even worser. always get 10ripz with you. way better. I love those xps brings me back to my youth loved those. also that green white one I had back than.

I’ve had a 96 since new Original owner Hurt my back jumping it this year. But I’ve never personally seen anyone jump one like I do. I’m totally recovered but never jumping like that any more. Getting way too cocky since I’ve ridden it for 28 years. I ride one handed. You can throw that ski back and forth side to 8:33 8:33 side over medium waves. 8:33 It will bring 8:33 out the phones to video it.

[@JetSkiBrothers]

@@JoelArseneaultKZbin What is really unusual about this video is that it's a condensed and combined video of 3 ocean life network episodes we did. And furthermore those 3 OLN episodes were condensed from 10 or so videos we did years ago. So there you go random boring fact for you. hahah

The over all performance seems to be basically on par with my other heater stuff, for a mid week video.

[@bobbybobman3073]

Same story for sports cars, they are all too big and to heavy, they lose all turning feel and what not for a mere 10% higher top speed. You lose all fun for the sake of a little faster that you really don't use or need.

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

Lol 60mph on a stock 787 XP? Nope. Maybe 55mph. Mine with aftermarket intake and impeller barely hits 57mph. And my one with a 951 engine swapped in hits 60mph, but its limited with the 800 electronics.

[@jamesgarvey8402]

96 should do 57ish in perfect conditions in perfect shape. 95 XP800 is a tad faster.
