Thank you that means a lot... its been a long road to find these, they all have amazing history's and all very low hours, so super proud of them... I am still looking for the allusive X2 and B1... it will happen... just picked up a HX... which currently doing a restore on... give that a watch dude... thanks for the support 👌🙌
@@classicjetskis I have seen some super clean 96 WB1's with dual carbs, now a clean unmodified x2 those I have not seen... I bet they are even harder to come by for you across the pond. Happy hunting mate
As soon as the video started i was thinking you needed jetski stands/carts and a chain winch to move them on and off trailers like i have in my shop. Makes everything an easy one man operation.
I know right, the dollys have massively helped me out with space, I’m working on an electric winch setup at the moment which will make it even easier. Thanks for watching dude 👍🙏
You should install a winch in the garage to help pull the PWCs off the trailers onto the dollies. Just put the dolly behind the trailer and pull the PWC onto the dolly with the winch. When you want to put it on, use the trailer winch to pull the PWC onto the trailer, off the dolly.
100% on the to do list.. would make life alot easier... the plan is to put a U metal frame and a winch mounted ceiling height, so I can winch up and down to negate any height changes that I may need if going from lower trailers to higher... I need it as a self sufficient frame to mount the winch to, as the ceiling of the garage is an internal house ceiling and don't fancy hanging the weight of a ski from the living room ceiling 😂😂 thanks for watching... p.s. I have now switched to stereo audio 😉😉
@@classicjetskis AH okay the Frame makes sense for sure. If you need help with anything let me know, I'm a mechanical engineer and can help with design or calculations. You seem like a pretty handy guy though so you can probably whip something together without design haha Yes, I noticed the audio change! The video editing is really well done, absolutely love them! I've been dabbling in wedding videography so I have a good appreciation for the shots that you guys get and the editing of the videos. Keep up the good work! Also, I just bought my first SeaDoo, a Wake 170! Picking it up in a month! Looking forward to getting out on the water. The older skis seem like so much fun too, maybe I need to pick up a project ski for myself later too!
@@3akoscielski Are you based in the UK? I will for sure need a structural engineer to help with the internal wall take down (thermalite block wall at the back of the garage) As a introduction of a steel will be needed, as I'm pretty sure the rear wall is a structural internal wall... there is another 4x5m room behind the garage that is just full of storage so is crying out to knock the garage through and have the whole bottom floor of our house as a garage...TBH I didn't even realise that the audio wasn't stereo but was an easy fix so thanks for mentioning it. Thank you for the appreciation for our content, we do try to create shots that go beyond the norm just to give the video abit more interest...glad you liked it. Nice man, congrats on your first ski...I hope you get out and have hours of fun mate! Naturally I am biased but I just love everything old, it adds a lot of nostalgia for me from when I was a kid but ultimately getting on skis in general is what its all about...but for sure if you ever get a chance of a tidy 2 stroke and your fairly competent at fixing and maintaining one, then do it for sure...they are so much fun. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel dude!
@@classicjetskis Ahhh I am in Canada actually, and I can't do structural work for houses, unfortunately. If you need help with the lift and the frame for it I can help with that. That sounds like an awesome option though! That'll be an amazing-sized garage! I never had the opportunity to ride when I was younger so I don't have the nostalgia for the older ski's! I'm the first of my friends and family to buy a SeaDoo, so I'm just trying to get everyone else hooked so I have more people to go out with Hahaha! But yea, maybe a fun 2-stroke project ski in the future would be a lot of fun :D The Spark's seem like fun too, and are closer in size to the older ski's. I'd consider them as well, but that wouldn't really be a project ski. Anyway, let me know if you want help with the frame for the winch!
@@3akoscielski I hear you dude I think if you haven't got any real tie back to the older stuff, its a harder sell why you would buy newer, as alot of the strength in buying old is knowing about the older stuff, working on them and generally the nostalgia of it. If you're entering PWC's as someone fresh for the first time, the dealer support, part accessibility and everything else is easier with new, but if you're feeling brave and want adventure, old all day long for me. Thanks again
Get a double ski cart stand and winch one on top. Or rent a storage unit...i currently have 3 storage units full of skis..lol. And finally the best choice, buy/build a bigger garage
I love the idea of double stacking the skis but accessibility wise it would prove tricky... the great thing about single carts is you can independently move them much easier, a double would save me no space as the skis literally butt bumper to bumper. I will be taking the rear wall down which will make the garage 4x5 meters bigger so there is plenty of future scope for more room... the dollys have freed up the spaced needed, so happy days!
I love the fact you picked up that my fav colour is red… is it obvious 😂😂 to be honest a couple of my followers have told me about the 99 ultra, the only thing is my Polaris and Kaw knowledge isn’t that strong at the moment, building it up… with the seadoo and Yamaha side I know a lot about them so know what I’m looking for etc. Never say never. Thanks for watching dude 🙏
Look up "caliber bunk slides" they screw into the bunks and help allow the skis to slide on and off..i use them on my trailers and my carts. Makes it a 1 man job. Spray some wd40 on the slides and they just glide right off
I'll take a look...from a quick google they look to be rubber? if so I have to be honest, I'm not a fan of rubber bunks, I hear you that you can spray them with WD40 but prefer a good marine carpet...in any case I have 2 bunks now and one roller, so in time will be able to give a definitive conclusion on which is better for real world use (for me that is, I know everyone has there own take on it).
@@classicjetskis my garage/ workshop video should be out this week, had to keep busy over the winter, yeah extreme trailer all the way, I think I’ll be getting a custom 750 in orange and black to match my ski and workshop , wonder if they do custom wheels in orange for the dolly 🤣 watching your video is expensive 🤣🤣🤣
@@theoddjobs3749 orange and black sounds epic! So I know they offer the casters in either black or red rubber… send me a pic on Instagram when you get your 750 would love to see it 🙏 will look out for your vid 👍
Never say never...the challenge is I don't know a tonne about Polaris and as you know when buying these older skis you really need to have a good idea what you're buying... Thanks for watching dude ✌✌
@@classicjetskis yeah I'm sure they are hard to find. Especially over there. For sure they are less know. I have one that is in decent shape, it is the biggest blast. I'm definitely happy for you and your collection. Your skis are so clean it makes us all jealous... but in a good way!
Polaris are generally junk. One of my buddies used to be a diehard Polaris fan with like 8 Polaris skis. Needless to say he now has like 10 Seadoos and 0 Polaris skis. Big issue with the Polaris skis is the electrical and ignition systems. Then since most were tripple cylinders, they always seemed to have the center cylinder fail and burn out. Plus 3 cylinders mean 3 carbs..what a pain.. I have a 96 Polaris sl750 that i bought with a double trailer...i have it posted for $400 as I know its worth $800 in parts and I still cant get anyone interested in buying it.
@@GCEXTREMEMN Like I said I don't really know anything about the old Pols... I guess if a one owner, low hours in perfect condition came up, then maybe but if not I don't ever really see any that are A) in good shape and B) look like they would fit in my collection.... never say never
Hello, thanks for your videos, they are very good... you could make one in the water with the Seadoo XP 580cc Twin CARB 1991... I have the same one and I'm fixing the engine.
Thanks man, that's much appreciated, thanks for watching my videos ✌ Yeh to be honest I really need to make more videos on the 1991 XP... I initially made a number of videos on it and then bought other skis and got swamped making videos on 8 different skis! I will make more videos on it I promise 🙌✌
I dont like the rollers as they seem to pinpoint pressure/weight on specific spots of the hull as opposed to bunks that provide full support along most of the hull.
One major thing is rollers aesthetically look much nicer and can be customised to look ace... here in the UK Extreme trailers use non marking nylon rollers (a lot of brands use rubber) and I'm working with them at the moment to look at doing a roller bank (more rollers so more contact points) this would then essentially be a bunk on steroids... I love bunks but I launch a lot on the sand and rollers are so much easier to use... I avoid putting my trailers into the salt....
I do hear you but man its hard to let any of these classics go as they have all got such a great story, history of ownership and all form part of the PWC 90s history... yes some are better than others but i just love opening the garage and having such a range of skis... Also I assume you missed the X4 hull XP as this hull was one of the best hulls ever made?
@Classic Jetskis oh I meant keep the x4. I've got a 96 xp 787 myself. I was just saying as far as hull design, speed, and collectability I'd keep the 96 and 99 xps the blaster and the gsx if you were stuck between making room for them.
@@Detailonthemove Gotta ya, I did think when you said the X4 was junk that this was a mistake... The XP is actually a 2003 XPDI... So hard man...at this point I'm defo not ready to part ways with any...I think I would opt for making more room first aha... I hear you though... maybe the raider if any would be the first to go just because I don't ride it half as much as the others... I do love its raw power though....
Agree when in riding season but in winter and colder months this is a bad move… I let my engine bays fully dry out by the time they are winterised… if you are putting them to bed correctly, your engine bay should be dry, that coupled with a lubed up engine bay with a good anti corrosive spray, it’s better to close them up… think of it this way… if I was storing it on the driveway…would you leave them open…no because the benefit of keeping out the cold and elements out way the risk of corrosion, but again I have never experienced corrosion because I always ensure the engine bays are cleaned, fully dry and lubed… What I would say is I would agree on the riding season I always leave them open as to let the engine breath, as I ride them a lot more, so higher chance of active water from cleaning the engine after rides etc. Thanks for watching dude 🙏
Big issue with the 947/951 engines is the crappy intake design thats prone to water intrusion...then theres the carbs and starter being under the pipe which is a pain in the butt to work on.
Amazing collection, very pristine. It needs a Waveblaster 1 or Kawasaki X2 :D

When storing those jetskis, you should leave the hoods/ engine cowling open so no corrosion occurs.
Agree when in riding season but in winter and colder months this is a bad move… I let my engine bays fully dry out by the time they are winterised… if you are putting them to bed correctly, your engine bay should be dry, that coupled with a lubed up engine bay with a good anti corrosive spray, it’s better to close them up… think of it this way… if I was storing it on the driveway…would you leave them open…no because the benefit of keeping out the cold and elements out way the risk of corrosion, but again I have never experienced corrosion because I always ensure the engine bays are cleaned, fully dry and lubed…
