You are a solid dude, Adam! Picking up other people's trash, keeping the beaches clean, helping people who are in trouble and might only have made it back with the help...The world needs more people like you in it! Sorry about your ski; my balls came up in my throat when I saw that!! But you know how the saying goes: no good deed goes unpunished. Oh... and yes, please, for more Maddie on the channel.
What I love about regular boaters or people that are on the water is that they always stop they always lend a hand. They always check in with people around them. Completely different vibe than you see on the highway.
You’re correct I have seen many people unhook and ride their ski into the water. I have never even considered it for one second to unhook my ski before it hits the water.
Yeah I've seen almost every type of boat on a bunk system unhooked prior to the water, I haven't ever just because I'm paranoid of something like this happening. Mostly bass boats like to unhook before the water and sometimes when the bunks are wet and the ramp is steep when they pull them out it can slide right off
When the bunks are dry they usually don't slide while backing, my dad fell into that trap and the first time he got a boat that came with s trailer that came with rollers instead of bunks he ended up dropping the boat on the ramp and like 10 different people helped him by lifting up the stern while he cranked it back onto the trailer needless to say he's never unhooked the safety chain before the boats in the water Again
You are awesome, helped people in need and kept your spirit up after your ski hit the concrete. I would have been so bummed out. I will learn from you. I love your spirit and who you are.
It feels good to help others and when you do help others it's best to find an Avenue for them to repay the kindness. This helps rebalance karma and turns their embarrassment into pride. I love what you're doing, cheers
I have gotten towed or been in a friends boat that had to get towed. Each time it took about an hour to get us back to the ramp. Of course, they wouldn't take any money for the help for the gas they burned towing us or the time taken. I think they accepted a couple of beers while we were being towed. And I towed in a couple of boats myself that were in trouble. People have to look out for each other, especially when you are stranded in 105 degree heat.
Thank you for using your platform to show people it’s ok to help those in need on the water, cleaning up after yourself, and, most importantly, just being a good person. I’ve been boating for 20+ years, and recently, it seems as a whole, people have moved away from the basics.
I bought my Explorer Pro 170 last year. The longest run we have done so far is 81 miles on a river. Fuel consumption is very important to us because we want to explore not refill the gas continuously. Cruising at 35 MPH we get 7.5 MPG. Cruising at about 47 we get a little over 6 MPG. With the 2 of us and a full load we have hit 57 miles per hour which is fast enough for a ski that is designed for comfort and distance. I would never consider a supercharged version. Always enjoy your videos and I am glad your new ski is okay.
similar story to you - I have the exact same ski Adam ended up towing! it is a 2007 n/a . Top speed is around 97 kmph (plenty fast for me) but the economy is good. Cruising at 40-50 kmph in theory I can get just 0ver 200kms out of a tank. Ive done longer rides but never been brave enought to run dry and usually top up around the 160km mark.
@@hardlylivin6602 I have never used eco mode.It should not have much of an impact on cruising. Probably will slow acceleration giving slightly better overall fuel consumption. I always have the front of the ski trimmed up all the way when cruising fast to minimize friction.
Always have to help fellow water users,we've al been there. End of the day mate,it's all about the smiles per gallon,there's no price on that,crack on. Look forward to the new adventures.
Welcome to the supercharged gang, Adam, and what a debut ride for the new toy! Shame to see the old 170 go, you'd made a masterpiece out of that ski. I hope some of those mods are salvageable for the 230. One mod you don't have yet (as far as I'm aware) and that I highly recommend is the X Package module, it's an OEM part that takes 2 minutes to plug in and zap-strap onto your air intake. It opens more range in the trim that isn't given to you by default, and it adds launch control, which sounds near useless for an Explorer, but the way it works means it's really good for just keeping the nose down while you're trying to get going with a lot of cargo along. If I were you, I'd keep an eye on the hull just to make sure it doesn't start to crack or delaminate, but you probably do that already with the way you beach those skis 😆
that's a very sad accident. they always happen for a reason and 1 things causes another . i guess put it down to experience . you did a Awesome job with the rescues and averted a real tragedy bravo adam . hope to see more videos with your attractive team member. love the new machine
Props to you Adam not just for being safe and prepared but for being a good human. As the old saying goes: "No good deed goes unpunnished." Sucks that you damaged your new Sea Doo, but good for you for doing the right thing. Appreciate you bro. 👍
Bad things 100% come in 3's. I'm a volunteer firefighter and sometimes we go a while with out a call and as soon as we get 1 call, we get 2 others the same day. happens all the time haha. big props for helping those people out.
Hey there Adam! I have watched every one of your videos on YT. Feel like I know you. Just want you to know that your videos come off like you are talking to me. Very natural, funny, and informative. Keep up the great work man. I look forward to more Sea Doo adventures in other rivers. Have you ever thought about possibly the Sacramento River down to San Francisco Bay? Seems like that would be right up your alley and kinda cool... You have inspired me to purchase a Sea Doo Explorer 230 this fall. Thanks brother!
Mate you are such a good egg helping people out , I absolutely felt for you when I saw the ski on the ramp, done it myself 😢, the guy that swamped u at the jetty when you towed the ladies back, what a tool. Great video, keep it up. 👍
LOL what a day on the water. Every day on a boat is an adventure, whether it's getting to the water or on the water. Glad everyone was safe at the end of the day.
What a decent guy you are Adam. You really didn't deserve that bit of bad luck with your brand new Ski, I would probably have cried!! And I could feel your anger at that guy at the dock, what a knob!
Iv seen divers 100m at the bottom of the north sea wearing their rolex. The message over the radio from the dive sup was "take your F**king rolex off and maybe your hand will fit in" haha
You are like an ambassador for life in the USA Adam, love the videos, love the cinematography and love your style. All round good guy, helping others when and wherever you can, and recognising things when its your fault ... I cringed when I saw the seadoo on its side.....
Adam, I should really comment more on your videos. You make such incredible content. I have viewed every PM video since episode #1 and now I enjoy every AdamXX. So I am trying to do more to help promote your channel. You get a 👍🏼 and a share today. 🤣 keep living your best life!
Damn dude, at least the second ding won’t hurt as much. I put a dent on my new car for the same reason. Ur a very cool guy and I appreciate what you do in helping others
Sad thing is we see that almost every weekend in Bullhead. Can count how many people we have to help to shore. Most have no knowledge on how to operate them safe. Also checkout Coveu in Bullhead they have a dock and great food! Safe to leave your ski or boat.
Hey Adam, You might know this but, when towing a PWC you need to pinch off the water supply line from the jet pump to the engine. I keep hose pinch pliers on board for towing. (Rounded jaws and latch to hold closed). If you don't, you risk flooding the engine. The water can get forced through the engine cooling passages and fill up the exhaust. Water can then go back into the engine through the exhaust valves. Tow very slowly if you can't block that line. Just a heads up for anyone who might not be aware.
Great episode Adam and very eventfull too 😁 😎 always look forward every week to watching them, keep up the fab content dude, big love from the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 💙
I got explorer 230 and I absolutely love it!!!! It’s perfect for where I ride which is the Detroit river I feel very safe even when those 6’ waves are in front of me. This thing is huge!(13’) long so it’s extremely comfortable for a 6’4 guy like me also with the 230 engine I can keep up with everyone I ride with!!! Oh and I stool one side of the ski plenty times without it flipping and rode a lot without even getting wet. All I have is one question for seadoo.. When are you going to come out with the Seadoo “EXPLORER 325 DETROIT RIVER EDITION”? Lol
Great job helping other watercraft riders on the river. After the Explorer Pro 230 fell off of the trailer and you put it back in the water you should check the condition of the rear step and the bilge for any water. Ride safe, ride smart, ride often!
Nice video and content Adam, what I take away from it is that it is very easy to get in trouble or do damage when you get out of your routine. I would have unhooked the ski as well, but it is so easy to get into trouble by helping others. Anyway, commiserations, great trip and at least not boring, I would have done the same helping people 🙂
I did something similarly bonehead w my new 22 VXHO after break in. Yamaha used to have the stop engine on the left and start on the right and that was what my muscle memory was sorta used to. On my new ski, the left is (cruise / no wake) and (start / stop) is one button on the right. When I gently got near the dock, I hit the no wake (that I thought was stop and held it thinking it was broken..lol) and scratched the bottom a bit. ended up super slicking it anyway as the hull paint on these isn't great.
Oh no, feel for yaou chap! No good deed & all that... 😊😖 Just bought a new GS 1250 ADV and they said 350 miles to run in?!?! It's been so long since I bought a new bike (last one was HD Street Glide) and i think it was 500 miles... time marches on... GREAT content as usual , beautiful cinematography, beautiful scenery, beautiful company, living your best life indeed chap! (& I agree with the Taco Bell comment!) keep it up 👏👍🤙🖖👌🤘✌🍻
#5 - Consider installing a tow tap in your ski. You never know when you are going to need a tow and it can cause significant damage to your engine if you don't have one.
So a day out on the water, two rescues and a boat ramp mishap. Pretty ordinary day out wouldn't you say! Good on you for helping folks. It's a binding social contact to render aim; what goes around comes around!
Wet trailer bunks = lower coefficient of friction = ski will slide off really easily! You are used to unhooking on dry bunks when you first get to the ramp, totally different situation. You live and learn
When the ski is dry for launch it’s pretty sticky, but you got carpet soaked and normally you would not immediately relaunch. Broken bunk did not help.
I live at Havasu, getting used to a Wave runner FX , post pontoon.. a comedy of errors even though I had a Sea Doo 4 yrs. ago. Hope I see y'all out there (I'll stay on board and out of the way).. lol
AWESOME video. Great stuff for helping other people. Glad your ski is ok and not damaged . Quick question, what sunglasses are you wearing? It's a cool design.
The serious "I am SPEED" face then snapping your head over to look at the camera made me chuckle. I've done exactly the same thing on mine. Great channel. Question for a friend: how does one get sponsored by seadoo? haha
Isn't break-in more than just hours it's about heat cycling. Engine up to operating temp for a short time then let it cool down completely and repeat several times. Much easier to do on a motorcycle.
Well done on the rescue, Adam. I think the rental guy said the 400 pound guy was nowhere to be seen when the other guy rented. And then the girl's, you need blues and twos mate😁
I forgot the drain plug on the maiden voyage of a fishing boat in minnesota. Launched boat. Parked truck, jogged back to the boat - only to find said boat with an alarming amount of water in it. Barely saved it from total sinking...
Yikes!! I also did a similar thing with my old SeaDoo jet boat apart from it was the flush port under the rear hatch. The one you plug the hose in to to flush the motor. Didn’t put the cap back on it after the previous owner showed me it running on the hose pipe and I took it out for a decent run…it felt a bit ‘heavy’ coming back to the trailer and when we got it out of the water and pulled the drain plugs it was gushing out. Luckily the water level didn’t quite get to the top of the battery but it was a close call!
I was at the river this past weekend and we stopped at Topoc. The dock seemed really wobbly when we got off the boat then we got back to the boat and were walking up the dock to get back on the boat, SNAP! The dang dock broke off under our feet! 😮. Grandsons and my daughter were in front so they had already gotten into the boat, son-in-law jumped into the boat as it broke but I fell into the side of the boat, holding on the top rails of the boat top as the dock was rolling over. Got really bruised up when I hit the side of the boat on my right side and they had to pull me into the boat, it’s a large pontoon, but at least the grandkids and boat were ok 👍🏼 😅. Afterward, I’ve read Topoc has had a lot of trouble with broken docks lately so be careful docking there.
@@AdamSwords Thanks, Actually I think I hurt my side more than I thought. I’ve had a bad pain on right side since then, it’s been over a week. Called doctor today and he wants me to have an xray tomorrow to make sure I don’t have any cracked ribs 🤞That’s what happens when a 64 year old women falls into the side of a pontoon when the dock flips over 😢😉😄. But it was an adventure for sure 😉. Gotta find the positive😄. And it is a weird story I’ll always have.
ahh brother that makes me cringe.....and is exactly why I never unhitch my ski when Im backing down into the water. Things happen and looks like it turned out ok though! Youre a good dude for helping everyone! Keep it up.
All these extra views maddie is going to bring you you should buy her a ski lol . I have a 2012 yamaha sho supercharged and i love exploring on it . Glad i ran across your channel
Ouch! I feel ur pain brotha. When I bought my new cbr600 took it for a text ride. Came back to the dealer stopped right where a gutter running thru the parking lot was stepped down wrong and plunk dropped my new bike standing still. Thankfully it was the only time it hit the ground. Hope to see u in Havasu late July🍻💃🏼
Hey because your a Honest upfront dude & take responsibility your your actions I’m gonna give your a Subscribe! Thank you for helping people. And pointing out how Some PWC people can be very irresponsible. It’s frustrating as a Boater to constantly come in contact with the type of people featured in your video.
Just asking from which location did you start? Past Topock66??? Planning the same ride but coming from Harrahs...Ty... Can I make it with 1 full gas tank GP 1800SVHO 2021 AND 2023... Thank you so much.
Un hooking is not an issue. I do it everytime I launch. The issue was the driver not knowing how to properly back up and launch a boat. If they were actually experienced this would not have happened.
Adam, great video, you certainly take rides in beautiful places . Watching your video has made it quite apparent to me that the Explorer 170 wouldn't suit my aggressive riding style, the 230 would be adequate on long group rides I suppose. I would definitely prefer the higher fuel consuming 230. I'm not a fan of the Windscreen. I mostly ride on Galveston Bay, the Texas Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico on my 2015 GTX iS 260 Limited with 230 Hours. Unfortunately Sea Doo hasn't built a Ski with Suspension since 2016? I perform all of the repairs on all of my Vehicles being only 68 and a retired Professional Wrench. BTW: I find my Suspension Ski way easier to work on than modern day European Cars. Randy AKA randog311
First time watching and thought you would have gone ballistic, but you are giga chill. You need some permanent flip flops on board so you can always have shoes when getting on land. I was skipping around and may have missed it but show the damage in another video.
I had one of the early models stand up jet skis. I needed to take it up to mechanic to look at an issue. I had a short bed toyota 4x4 truck. The jet ski would not fit in with the back of the truck up, so I just threw it in the without strapping it down since I was only going to be driving about 1 mile. When I pulled out onto a major street, there was a car coming so I accelerated a bit too much and the jet ski flew out the back. The car behind me then almost ran it over. The guy was nice enough to help me lift the jet ski back into the truck, although with all of the adrenaline pumping through my system, I could have probably done it myself. In my defense, I was young and stupid at the time. Now I am old and stupid. The 3-foot fall did cause a small crack in the bottom of the hull but it never leaked.
@@AdamSwords Bro I wrote this comment hoping you would heart it. The minute I post it you have already hearted it and replied! That is crazy fast! Thank you and please make more Seadoo videos.
Damn it boiiiii. That sucked. What a trip. Anyways. Question. 170 or 230. Why?????? I want one. I live at the gulf. Galveston area. Surfside Texas. 🙏 love the channel. Also when I do get one. How do I get that new rack in the front you mounted on yours. FreKing Awsome. U have that toy that I would definitely call my baby. 😂 🎉
@@AdamSwords May I ask why? Pretty much the same. I seen all your adventures and I don’t know what to get. I noticed I have the 230 now. From all your adventures. You still pick the 170? I’m just going to use it for some exploring. But a lot of fishing.
I constantly see people complaining sea doos hulls are weak and it always makes me worry about mine... but considering yours fell straight onto concrete and is mostly fine is pretty impressive to me.
I was chilling on the river at the Willow Valley Marina a few days ago - pretty sure I saw you guys go down and back. How do you like that ski? How far can you go on a tank? My pops has a GPR1800 I rip but looking at doing distance
You are a solid dude, Adam! Picking up other people's trash, keeping the beaches clean, helping people who are in trouble and might only have made it back with the help...The world needs more people like you in it! Sorry about your ski; my balls came up in my throat when I saw that!! But you know how the saying goes: no good deed goes unpunished. Oh... and yes, please, for more Maddie on the channel.
I appreciate that! Just trying to do my part :) I’ll see what I can do about Maddie haha

Just the heads up see doo!! I bought a 230 GTX limited loaded because of this amazing guy. By the way love my see doo…
Legend!
Hey Adam, You might know this but, when towing a PWC you need to pinch off the water supply line from the jet pump to the engine. I keep hose pinch pliers on board for towing. (Rounded jaws and latch to hold closed). If you don't, you risk flooding the engine. The water can get forced through the engine cooling passages and fill up the exhaust. Water can then go back into the engine through the exhaust valves. Tow very slowly if you can't block that line. Just a heads up for anyone who might not be aware.

When I gently got near the dock, I hit the no wake (that I thought was stop and held it thinking it was broken..lol) and scratched the bottom a bit. ended up super slicking it anyway as the hull paint on these isn't great.
Ouch! Yeah I’m looking to do my hulls yoo
Swordski down...no good deed goes unpunished brother...ur a very kind dude keep doing what u do.
I appreciate that
Oh no, feel for yaou chap! No good deed & all that... 😊😖
Just bought a new GS 1250 ADV and they said 350 miles to run in?!?! It's been so long since I bought a new bike (last one was HD Street Glide) and i think it was 500 miles... time marches on...
GREAT content as usual , beautiful cinematography, beautiful scenery, beautiful company, living your best life indeed chap! (& I agree with the Taco Bell comment!) keep it up 👏👍🤙🖖👌🤘✌🍻
350 seems reasonable! Time for a road trip!
@@AdamSwords Yep, Germany/Austria end of next month for 11 days 👍👍😀
#5 - Consider installing a tow tap in your ski. You never know when you are going to need a tow and it can cause significant damage to your engine if you don't have one.
So a day out on the water, two rescues and a boat ramp mishap. Pretty ordinary day out wouldn't you say! Good on you for helping folks. It's a binding social contact to render aim; what goes around comes around!
Love the ride Adam wow 😮my eyes seeing your ride on the ground unbelievable ~!~be careful oxox love ya pretty!!!
That’s exactly why you never take off the clip until it’s in the water, even if you have to get wet to take it off.
Yup
Wet trailer bunks = lower coefficient of friction = ski will slide off really easily! You are used to unhooking on dry bunks when you first get to the ramp, totally different situation. You live and learn
We do it during races too sometimes but yeah, never again lol
When the ski is dry for launch it’s pretty sticky, but you got carpet soaked and normally you would not immediately relaunch. Broken bunk did not help.
Exactly
Bro is livin the dream ☀️ 🌊
Doing my best!
I live at Havasu, getting used to a Wave runner FX , post pontoon.. a comedy of errors even though
I had a Sea Doo 4 yrs. ago. Hope I see y'all out there (I'll stay on board and out of the way).. lol
Make sure you say hi!
AWESOME video. Great stuff for helping other people. Glad your ski is ok and not damaged . Quick question, what sunglasses are you wearing? It's a cool design.
They’re Bomber Clutch glasses. I have a discount code if you want a pair: SWORDS

The serious "I am SPEED" face then snapping your head over to look at the camera made me chuckle. I've done exactly the same thing on mine. Great channel. Question for a friend: how does one get sponsored by seadoo? haha
Isn't break-in more than just hours it's about heat cycling. Engine up to operating temp for a short time then let it cool down completely and repeat several times. Much easier to do on a motorcycle.
Thanks for these videos bro. Enjoying the content
Glad you like them!
What a great adventure. I guess luck doesn’t come into it but what a life you are leading. It would be nice to see around your new home location.
Life sure is good :)
Well done on the rescue, Adam. I think the rental guy said the 400 pound guy was nowhere to be seen when the other guy rented. And then the girl's, you need blues and twos mate😁
Yeah but like I said, he’s wearing the same life jacket as his mate, which would have been given to them at the dock when they put you on the ski.
@@AdamSwords I guess irresponsible greedy renters then
was just out there in laughlin a few days ago always a good time🤙🤙
Was it? Lol
@@AdamSwords lmao,yeah
I’m glad!
I forgot the drain plug on the maiden voyage of a fishing boat in minnesota.
Launched boat. Parked truck, jogged back to the boat - only to find said boat with an alarming amount of water in it. Barely saved it from total sinking...
Yikes!! I also did a similar thing with my old SeaDoo jet boat apart from it was the flush port under the rear hatch. The one you plug the hose in to to flush the motor. Didn’t put the cap back on it after the previous owner showed me it running on the hose pipe and I took it out for a decent run…it felt a bit ‘heavy’ coming back to the trailer and when we got it out of the water and pulled the drain plugs it was gushing out. Luckily the water level didn’t quite get to the top of the battery but it was a close call!
Luckily 400 pounders don’t sink. 😂
Thanks for the valuable lesson re unfamiliar trailer and driver.
I was at the river this past weekend and we stopped at Topoc. The dock seemed really wobbly when we got off the boat then we got back to the boat and were walking up the dock to get back on the boat, SNAP! The dang dock broke off under our feet! 😮. Grandsons and my daughter were in front so they had already gotten into the boat, son-in-law jumped into the boat as it broke but I fell into the side of the boat, holding on the top rails of the boat top as the dock was rolling over. Got really bruised up when I hit the side of the boat on my right side and they had to pull me into the boat, it’s a large pontoon, but at least the grandkids and boat were ok 👍🏼 😅. Afterward, I’ve read Topoc has had a lot of trouble with broken docks lately so be careful docking there.
Oh no that’s awful! Glad you weren’t too hurt
@@AdamSwords Thanks, Actually I think I hurt my side more than I thought. I’ve had a bad pain on right side since then, it’s been over a week. Called doctor today and he wants me to have an xray tomorrow to make sure I don’t have any cracked ribs 🤞That’s what happens when a 64 year old women falls into the side of a pontoon when the dock flips over 😢😉😄. But it was an adventure for sure 😉. Gotta find the positive😄. And it is a weird story I’ll always have.
What a day Adam, good you were around to help where needed
🫡
ahh brother that makes me cringe.....and is exactly why I never unhitch my ski when Im backing down into the water. Things happen and looks like it turned out ok though! Youre a good dude for helping everyone! Keep it up.
Tell me about it
dude! you cant catch a break around here! great video man, you got yourself a like and a new subscriber!
Thank you!
Loved the video Adam. How that 400+lb Guy thought he could jet skee is beyond me! Nice to see you wearing the Deepsea M8. Cheers, John.
I know! Thanks mate
You didn’t hit any shallow water ? I sucked up rocks twice near big bend park
Lots of shallow water but just gotta stay pinned or kill the motor. Nothing in between
See those dry launches a few times a month in summer at the local ramps.
Love the video from Birmingham UK 🇬🇧
Cheers!
SeaDoo saviour.
😂🫡
I'd kill to do this , I've been jetsking twice in my life and I loved it.
It’s so much fun
All these extra views maddie is going to bring you you should buy her a ski lol . I have a 2012 yamaha sho supercharged and i love exploring on it . Glad i ran across your channel
Haha she has her own
Awesome video as always...adventure full!!
Thanks!
Ouch! I feel ur pain brotha. When I bought my new cbr600 took it for a text ride. Came back to the dealer stopped right where a gutter running thru the parking lot was stepped down wrong and plunk dropped my new bike standing still. Thankfully it was the only time it hit the ground. Hope to see u in Havasu late July🍻💃🏼
Ugh the worst!! See you out here!
This is what I call a "learning moment."
Sure was
Hey because your a Honest upfront dude & take responsibility your your actions I’m gonna give your a Subscribe! Thank you for helping people. And pointing out how Some PWC people can be very irresponsible. It’s frustrating as a Boater to constantly come in contact with the type of people featured in your video.
I appreciate the sub! Thank you :)
Great video Adam. That rental company was crazy to rent that ski out to those guys
Agreed
Got a question what type of gas does it use 85 or does it require 93 octane. Got a yahama FX Cruise SVHO and it requires 93 bit more expensive.
91
Hey Adam......No good deed goes unpunished....damn it. That sucks. Hope to see you at the Mark Hahn 2025. Cheers my friend.
Cheers!
You should definitely get her on board 🏴
She’s my first mate 😉
Just asking from which location did you start? Past Topock66???
Planning the same ride but coming from Harrahs...Ty...
Can I make it with 1 full gas tank GP 1800SVHO 2021 AND 2023...
Thank you so much.
Started at Windsor boat launch in Havasu. No idea on your range though
WOW what an adventure great blog Adam
Thank you
Un hooking is not an issue. I do it everytime I launch. The issue was the driver not knowing how to properly back up and launch a boat. If they were actually experienced this would not have happened.
I agree…
Adam, great video, you certainly take rides in beautiful places . Watching your video has made it quite apparent to me that the Explorer 170 wouldn't suit my aggressive riding style, the 230 would be adequate on long group rides I suppose. I would definitely prefer the higher fuel consuming 230. I'm not a fan of the Windscreen. I mostly ride on Galveston Bay, the Texas Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico on my 2015 GTX iS 260 Limited with 230 Hours. Unfortunately Sea Doo hasn't built a Ski with Suspension since 2016? I perform all of the repairs on all of my Vehicles being only 68 and a retired Professional Wrench. BTW: I find my Suspension Ski way easier to work on than modern day European Cars. Randy AKA randog311
14:53 what a db
First time watching and thought you would have gone ballistic, but you are giga chill. You need some permanent flip flops on board so you can always have shoes when getting on land. I was skipping around and may have missed it but show the damage in another video.
I’ll try to remember for the next video
I had one of the early models stand up jet skis. I needed to take it up to mechanic to look at an issue. I had a short bed toyota 4x4 truck. The jet ski would not fit in with the back of the truck up, so I just threw it in the without strapping it down since I was only going to be driving about 1 mile. When I pulled out onto a major street, there was a car coming so I accelerated a bit too much and the jet ski flew out the back. The car behind me then almost ran it over. The guy was nice enough to help me lift the jet ski back into the truck, although with all of the adrenaline pumping through my system, I could have probably done it myself. In my defense, I was young and stupid at the time. Now I am old and stupid. The 3-foot fall did cause a small crack in the bottom of the hull but it never leaked.
Oh jeez!! That sounds like a nightmare lol
I got a 96 seadoo gtx and also a 2014 rxp-x 260 supercharged. And to be honest my old seadoo is just a fun as my rxp 😊
They’re all epic!
Thats a real nice seadoo!
Thanks!
@@AdamSwords Bro I wrote this comment hoping you would heart it. The minute I post it you have already hearted it and replied! That is crazy fast! Thank you and please make more Seadoo videos.
@@AdamSwords your welcome!
More SeaDoo videos coming I promise!
@@AdamSwords yay!
nice to see the 230 in action, hope the damage buffs out
Damn it boiiiii. That sucked. What a trip. Anyways. Question. 170 or 230. Why?????? I want one. I live at the gulf. Galveston area. Surfside Texas. 🙏 love the channel. Also when I do get one. How do I get that new rack in the front you mounted on yours. FreKing Awsome. U have that toy that I would definitely call my baby. 😂 🎉
170
@@AdamSwords May I ask why? Pretty much the same. I seen all your adventures and I don’t know what to get. I noticed I have the 230 now. From all your adventures. You still pick the 170? I’m just going to use it for some exploring. But a lot of fishing.
I constantly see people complaining sea doos hulls are weak and it always makes me worry about mine... but considering yours fell straight onto concrete and is mostly fine is pretty impressive to me.
Haha yeah they’re tough dude. There’s lots of shaven apes on the forums that probably ride them like they’re rentals.
I was chilling on the river at the Willow Valley Marina a few days ago - pretty sure I saw you guys go down and back. How do you like that ski? How far can you go on a tank? My pops has a GPR1800 I rip but looking at doing distance
Yup you probably did! If you want long range do the explorer 170. If you take an extra 15 gallons with you it’s possible to do 150-175 miles
@@AdamSwords Thanks for the info bro. How quick is the 170?
Quick enough and tops out at 55
Great video and Maddie seems awesome 🙌
She’s awesome
Totally agree 💯 with you Adam on the rentals. I ride that area north of Avi, those rentals are dangerous. I stay away from them on the water.
Yup 100%
21:43 cheeky cheeky
Just curious where you put in for your trip?
