    What type of ski is it to be repaired and what ski hit you.

    Seadoo's will be easier to repair as they are fibreglass and gelcoat. Yamaha's and Kwaki's are smc and require special other resins etc to repair... Keep that engine well fogged and turn it over regulary.

    Sounds like its not going to be a cheap repair either... Don't be sursprised at the 2-3 grand mark depending on damage etc. PIcs

    its a seadoo GSX, just rebuilt it and sorted out the carbies and VTS, the other ski was a gp1300R with a 14 yr old female pilot, took it to allan at all boat and he said around the 4k mark, plus the motor took on a hell of a lot of water and it sounds like the balance shaft is out now, sort knock knock, not good at all, and how do I upload pics?

    I assume she had an adult on board with her Or had her rst and was keeping under 8 knots, as per the rules?

    Seriously so many people ignore the skippers ticket rules.. Pisses me off because its stuff like this this it is supposed to prevent, and it is this sort of thing which gives us all a bad name.

    Anyway rant over!
