Awesome deal! I am looking at a 2004 FX140 HO for $5400. I am not paying that much tho! It only has less than 50 hours. Its been sitting in a garage for approx 10 years. Owner put in a brand new vattery and changed all fluids. Hose test is fine, but I really need to put it in the lake or tank to ensure the ski runs. Dont want to be stuck with a non-operating unit and spend more $ to fix. Great video.
Hi ., I want to make a response about the trim you mentioned it has nothing to do with how many people are on it tsp for the lake conditions .! For example if it’s really choppy you sent trim position where it says nose down the reason is with nose down on choppy water you get a smoother ride if you have your nose up on choppy water you be basically getting a harder ride it doesn’t cut thru the wakes out on the lake or River it Applies to boats as well to I Been riding these for 25 years my parents owned 4 different type of boats to that’s why I no hope the info helps . Nice video also😁👍
@@albertsikorsky1186 Yes. They both run perfectly. 1 of them the gauges got wet and don't work. Both the trim and reverse cables are seized. I may make those a winter project to fix, but with 300 hours on each, I'm not sure how much money I want to spend on them. I may just ride them the way they are, which is fine. Trim doesn't bother me and I'm fine pushing them off the trailer and not using reverse.
I need to see the HERO SHOT! Video of you and Joey on the lake!

@@albertsikorsky1186 Yep...they run great. Little fresh gas and injector cleaning and they are fun at the lake
90 bucks is steep for an air filter. Can the old ones be cleaned?
Nope. I sucked it up and ordered them.
