Hello Mr billy I just got my new Yamaha 4 stroke super jet I finished my first 5 hours riding with half throttle so that I can break in the engine and honestly it wasn’t fun at all going slow:( Should I continue with the half throttle for the next 5 hours before the first service?

I’m interested more in the receiver mount and how you load and unload it. Any videos on that?

I was actually talking to a friend of mine this morning and told him I was going to make a YT video on my Hitch Hauler showing exactly what you're asking. I have a ski on a stand and will load it on the HH and launch and retrieve the ski at the launch ramp. Good question Rocketman! Should be about a week or so.

Yes, in 1990 I bought my first Kawaaski SX550 and rode it a couple years and then sold it. Then in 2019 my buddy Matt who I rode with way back then said he was buying a couple skis and they were the '91 and '92 SX550's. I then went on a mission and bought four beautiful stand ups all stock with original graphics. A '94 750 SX, '97 SXI Pro, '99 Superjet and a 2007 SXR800. I sold all the skis except the '94 750SX and now we have this '23 Superjet. My wife and I and our small group of riders have been having the time of our lives riding these toys!

@@brettls2 that's a great question. I seized the opportunity right towards the end of Covid. Inventory was low and prices were on the high side. I wanted to get the all new Superjet and I thought it was a good time to thin out the Stand Ups. I sold the 99 Superjet, then the 97 SXI Pro and eventually the SXR800. They all went quick over a period of a few months. The SXR was by far my favorite but my wife loves to ride the 750SX. So to answer your question, she's able to still ride with me now on the ski that's just right for her.

@@billythephoenix How in the world are you handling the heat down your way??? I guess cruising around in the rivers is one way, right? Phoenix has been setting records with heat. Are you far enough away to be OK? I've only been to Mavillette once so far this year. It was for a "going away" party for a local doctor who surfs. She is "upping" her training to become a trauma/emergency doctor and has to leave the area for a year to get her training. It was a great day, good friends, fun food and good times. I started off by putting my suit on backwards ( again ) and then after I got it on right, I caught a few rides. Since then, Mavillette has been almost perpetually shrouded in fog!!! It's been a crazy year up here since last fall. Devastating hurricane Fiona last fall, record wildfires this spring and just last weekend flash flooding that wrecked, roads, houses and took the lives of 4 people! Luckily, I only experience all that through the news but it I could see the lightning from the last storm all night long last Saturday. Some places got over 300mm ( 12" ) of rain in less than 24 hours!!! Out of necessity we got a new '22 Rav4 Hybrid as the 2000 Honda Accord was getting to be a money pit. We also got a 2000 Starcraft tent trailer after we got the Rav4 to take Allie camping. We've lost almost a month and a half of pool time as it was rainy and cold at the start of pool season in late May and early June. We're fine now as it's hot and I've had to keep the heater off as the pool was almost 90F a couple of times and that's too hot for us. Good to talk to you and great to see you on KZitem again. That Yammy sounds like a beast! Enjoy! Cheers, John P.S. Check for mail for a little something...

Hey Billy this down by fishers and Martinez area ? We are palo verde locals and lunch at oxbow . Been wanting to stick a stand up in the palo verde lagoon and head down past Mitchell’s and Walters. Man these new super jets have my attention. They seem really nimble for how big they look.

Yes, we're way down south. We rode our sit downs from here to Blythe last year and pulled into Oxbow and rode back a ways. The new SJ is quite nimble and feels smaller than it looks. I really like the acceleration and how smooth it feels and handles.

@@joeltricitypools The hitch hauler came with a stand up jet ski I bought in 2019 and has no badging to indicate who it's made by. Maybe we could meet at Walters where they actually have gas on the water. We couldn't find a fuel dock anywhere in the Blythe area and there were a ton of watercraft on the river.

Yeah that would be sweet we have family that has a place down there so we are at the sand bars or at their house often. As far as I know Walters is the only place up river with gas . Their used to be a small marina with gas by the Blythe 10 over pass bridge but last time we went the pumps were gone and we had to float down river for hours until we got back to oxbow. We had thought they still had gas but didn’t and ran out on the way back.
