Taking My $500 ANTIQUE Jet Skis To The Lake For Testing
Vložit

- $500 for not one, but TWO antique jet skis, both powered by two stroke 650 twins. It looks like we might've hit the vintage jetski jackpot! In the last video I drug them back to the shop, fixed the trailer that was falling apart, and fired both jetskis up for a second. Today we're going to get them out on the lake and see if they'll actually run in the water (and for more than 5 seconds). After filling the gas and 2-stroke oil we were good to go and headed towards the water for some real testing on the Yamaha Waverunner 3 and Kawasaki Jet Ski TS.

A $500 pair of jet skis, a $400 Escalade interior, a $9,000 Porsche Boxster, you're on a roll JR! What a deal on all of them!
Buying all the deals right now (and selling them as fast as they come) 💯
@@WatchJRGo we really don't want a CZcams channel " watch jr go broke"
@@derekrogers3426 don’t worry, that one’s not coming
@@WatchJRGo We call that "Hoovie's Garage"
You seem way less stressed since getting rid of the building. Seem like you have a lot more fun.
He sold it for a massive profit. He now has more robust bank balance than he usually do. Thus the smiley face.
In the wise words of Daniel tosh, I’ve never seen someone frowning on a jet ski 😂
As previously mentioned, he made a killing on selling the building. Making a fat profit on anything would make anyone happy. Also, being out on the water with personal watercraft with a pretty lady helps a lot with elevating someone's mood. John Ross is living the dream after grinding hard for years.
Having 10k a month less overhead to worry about would do that to someone
I think he finally got a girlfriend....
The old smiling fun JR is back! Now for the climax would be a video with Jr. Sr. and a tractor. Keep up the awesome content 😃
The best $500 you spent was actually only the $400 for the complete Denali interior but the two jet skiis for $500 is a close second.
From this side of the screen, it certainly looked like the best $500 purchase you have made this year! Fun video!
$500, no issues, and a day of fun out with the gf....best money spent in a LONG time.
This was tons of fun, best video in a while- loved the camera angles! Congrats!
I used to ride these when I was a kid. Even learned to ride the stand up jet skis, and my uncle's race jet ski. There was a hybrid type system called the X2 and then his race version of that as well since he had both and both of these had side exit exhaust and they hauled butt. My uncle raced in the pro circuit for a few years and was even teammates with Vanilla Ice when he was racing.
Loving the energy brother! I got rid of my garage and started doing projects back at home, since then I finished my motorcycle, tuned and completely restored my Cadi and my Daily (impala) has gotten more love than I care to admit, truly feel more motivated at home. And though I had to sweat for the money, feels good that I currently have no maintenance projects and can focus on upgrades across the board!
Hope all is well :) so happy for you
Awesome purchase and great fun! Highlight WatchJRGo video from season 2022. Good to see something different and you and your friend having a blast on the lake. Thank you.
Really nice seeing you spending just a little money and having a lot more fun (even if it is only one day). The fact you got such a deal with so little work needed is a huge change for you.
Really good deal on the jet skis. Good show.
I was waiting for this update !!!
Looked like more than $500 worth of fun!
Really enjoyed this, and it looked like you both had a fantastic day having fun fantastic
another great video from JR. thanks
What a fantastic Deal!! I can't believe both of them run so well!!
Nice to see JR having fun, good buy now lets see them fixed up a bit more for Summer.
Great jet ski purchase
Every one of your videos, I get to know you a little better JR. Definitely a guy I'd hang with thanks for all the great content.
Kinda envious that you guys still have lake weather 😄 these two jetski’s are an awesome buy
Boat ramps can definitely be fun to watch. Especially at the beginning of the season.
Look up credit card captain
Definitely the best $500 you spent this year!! You're doing great this year with all the wonderful deals you've gotten this year.. at least 2022 is going well for someone!!! (sold your warehouse too!!!)
That looked extremely fun!
This is awesome. It makes me want to ride a jetski since I have always been afraid of them. Truly a steal for $500. I would definitely keep them.
They're no big deal (especially old slow ones like these) just sit down and hammer the throttle. Starting out on a big open lake is nice so you can get used to having traffic around you later! 🍻
Those are slow. And he's on a nice calm lake. I know people who do that in the open ocean with much more powerful craft. Not for me.
The new ones are fast af!!
@@WatchJRGo since your a car guy see if you can get any upgrade parts for the old motors
This goes to show you don't need to spend alot to get out and have fun. Those machines have a few good seasons left in them.
I’m happy you were able to validate the “no left turns” feature of the TS! - Lots of memories!
Those old toilets ran surprisingly well!
Oooh boy, the jet boats are back, bet they do fine, watching now. 👍
I was not expecting them to do fine, I've had 500 terrible experiences with carb'd jet skis 😬
If your carb is setup right and the gas is good they work. Rebuilt a Thermo Quad for my Dart and ran it like that 15 years before it needed another kit, and it mainly blew a fuel transfer tube O ring. Got it setup right and just drove it till it had a issue years later.
One of your best buys. Keep up the great channel.
Looks like a lot of fun I can tell from the ear to ear smile 😃
You can have a real blast with those machines. The wr3 can be slung around with ease, the 701cc gp versions had a little more gusto but nothing to write home about.
Both of those are real champs
Looks like a lot of fun! 👍
Looks like great fun for $500.!!
You make me want to get my Kawasaki 550 out of winter storage and go for a ride. 👍
Getting cold quick, I didn't think I'd have many more chances 💯
It's always an awesome day when jet skis are involved.
I love each episode has it’s own unique title screen.
had the same TS 650...that thing was boring, but still have a 1989 SX650 that runs like a champ! Best and most reliable engines!
Nice seeing TS 👍🤓
Who is ts?
That was a great $500 well spent!
That was a great purchase Jr.
Great buy. Picked up 2 polaris this year for a grand and had a blast
The Yamaha 650/701 platform has got to be the most relible jetskis engine platform ever made, they are like tanks, and simple to overhual when needed.
You SCORED BRO.. HooAH !!!
What an awesome deal on those
That was amazing, they seemed to run very well! Well worth the money!
I will give ya a Grand for em. Excellent VIDEO.
Good Evening John Ross
You can check gas right under the hood latch , ! I love my TS! Best ski iv ever had !!
Awesome buy you got there !!! Whomever you purchased them from did a great job taking care of them ...
Just awesome!
Awesome jet skis, they look better with the lady on them...more lady! I have to say you appear to have more fun since the sale. Keep doing you JR. More lady please!
looks great fun ❤
Whole Lotta fun for 500 bucks 👍
Definitely best bang for your buck...so far.
First time I saw you in shorts!
What a win! $500, an hour on the lake on didn’t take in any water..awesome! One question though….
I bought a '95 Polaris cheap a few years ago-the previous owner couldn't get it to run right. I found that the ethanol in the gas had rotted the fuel pickup lines in the gas tank. It ran great after I replaced them.
Boot ramps are so entertaining, grab a couple of beers and free entertainment
These jet skies kinda cool.
They performed so well, I think when the new shop is up and running, they should get a full rebuild.
I agree with you 100%!
there are wraps for the waverunner 3 that make it look nice
I'm telling you if some other youtubers can do it, JR can kill it making these better! They already run great!
I would be very happy to purchase that much fun for $500. Awesome find.
$500 well spent! Especially considering you'll make that back easily when you sell them. Basically free fun. (Yeah, yeah of course gas and oil and launch fee blah blah...) That was for people that thought I wasn't aware. So, sell them for $600 and it was free fun. 👍
Fun/$ for sure great buy
You’re making me miss my Sea-doo that I sold when I stopped having time to ride… 👊
Boat ramp drama is hilarious! =D
Looks like you both had fun even though they are old and slow.
Looks like you scored on them!
You are on a roll... first the property sale (giant win) and now this ! Would be the perfect time to buy an R8 ...lol
Yup, best buy ever!
Sometimes the cheap things are some of the best things. You got a pair of cheap jet skies, that not only ran from the get-go, they only took a minor bit of work to be sea worthy (and most of that work was on the trailer that they sit on)
Looks like fun
We used to anchor milk jugs in the lake and made a race track. / slalom course. It WAS FUN racing our Jet skis !!!!! and yes we did crash into each other a few times.. But still great fun.. Costs us a lot~~!
They actually look like they rip for what they are. Such a score. I'd restore the seats and keep em. They don't build em like they used too.
Teh Falcon true the actual build them way better and faster with much better over performance now. Not at all like they used to.
Great fun for 500 bucks 👌
Good job getting back before the rain, best purchase all year!
Honestly, you scored. Two running psw for 500 bucks...sure they are old and slow, but still fun anyway. New ones are like 10-20k now lol.
Looks like you $500 of fun out of those units 👍👍
The best fun is cheap fun🤙
Super cool
I love the smell of Bel-Ray in the morning
Go fast, turn right.👍
My first time on a jet ski, I almost went over the handlebars when I let off full throttle. 🤣
These are way too slow for that, the new ones can throw you over the front for sure 💯
Now lets see a proper JR overhaul on these things! New seats and a custom paint job minimum!
I not doubting JR's abilities. But I seriously was expecting 1 or both of them to sink because the drain plugs weren't installed.
My neighbors kid did that with a 93 Sea-Doo.
Considering $500 came with the trailer,that was his best purchase of the year.
Haha, I did that once, I won’t do it again! The ski started slowing down and I couldn’t figure it out, opened the seat, saw the water, then wide open all the way to the trailer 😂
Welcome to LaunchJRGo.
Hell Yeah!! 500 dollars!!! #winning
Cool thanks.
My man! Gotta take those cheap jet skis out on the water while it's still warm out.
This video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s a a lot fun for 500 bucks 😀
When will we hear of new shop? Great vids in the meantime!
Still waiting on the bank 🍻
@@WatchJRGo definitely understandable! I just bought my first house, the banks can take foreverrrrr
Had similar issues 10 years ago when we bought this house🤬
You should go find a Yamaha wave raider 1000. They were the hot rod ski’s of the late 90’s.
not fair! I'm jealous.
I'd refurbish them.
The Derek Zoolander of jet skis
That looks like a lot of fun for little money. I feel weird now because I live in Florida and never rode a jet ski.
I remember riding around on that type of JetSki in Baja Mexico in the 80s.
$500 worth of fun
How cold was that water? Or was this filmed when it was warmer out? Seems like it’s been a bit too cold to be out on the water here in SC for at least a month now. Or at least my pool is too cold. Anyway, yeah that was a great investment for $500, and assuming they don’t get frozen and cracked over the winter, hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy them for all of next summer!
This was on Monday, it was 80F and the water was warmer than I expected! 😂
