I had a 97 Spx (same ski different name). As I recall it topped out at around 55 mph, got there quick and was very responsive. Only had two gauges though, gas and maybe trim. I wish I still had it.
This used to have a speedometer which didn't work. So I just have trim, and gas. This one GPS'ed at 57.9 before the performance work. Which honestly would have slowed it a bit as it was more for acceleration than top speed. But yeah it gets to max speed stupid fast.

Kick in the dick lmao. That’s about as good as “fucking some shit up” 🤣
$2200 later, ouch! Was cleaning off the wheels and heard some bubbling. One of the valve stems was leaking. I live about 25mins without Friday traffic from the tire shop. Said fuck it, let's get this taken care of before the holiday weekend. They replaced it in a few minutes and I was back on my way. These are some really really nice tires for a trailer. The guy that installed the tires said they were absolutely toast. I didn't think they were that bad, but figured I had pressed my luck long enough with those tires. Glad I didn't have some of the issues others had.20230901_174312.jpg20230901_174324.jpg20230901_174339.jpg20230901_174349.jpg

Do you have a salt cell to make chlorine? Looks like a significant amount of salt. I have. 16k gallon pool and only used about 4 bags of salt to start my cell.
Yes I have a chlorinator, when I first opened a 6,500 gallon pool last year I started with 5 bags and this summer I was going through a bag a week. $8 from home depot, $24 via Amazon.

I still need to test the water and calculate how much salt I need.

Two weeks ago I took my wife to our local Hobby Lobby and saw this:

Labor Day Weekend with our Daughter, her family, our Son and my Niece and her Daughter. I took the two young ones out for a ride on the river Alex thought it was a little scary and Zoey thought I went to slow. Labor Day dinner was corn on the cob, BBQ spare ribs and chicken legs and oh lots of wine. They did have home made chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies to wash down the wine.
