I need some help with a cosmetic repair now. I am going back to the lake tomorrow to take some pictures and “winterize” (30 degree temps overnight forecasted starting tomorrow for a few nights in a row). I literally launched, went for a ride, and put in the lift. When I cranked it up, the S in the WSS is cracked and half of
It missing. I am not sure if anyone else had issued with these letters before. I didnt hit anything, and had huge fenders on while launching. I am thinking the fender may have pressed into it and cracked it, it was windy today.

Fender probably knocked it off. You can get a replacement from the dealer. Same thing happened to me last spring with my R7. Dealers stock plenty as they just stick on. Just get yourself some goo gone and a plastic razor to get the old glue and sticker off. Then some painters tape to line up the new S.

Just call it breaking the boat in 😎. Judging by the picture you had quite a bit of wind to deal with

More Pics from today!

Another power steering leak. Ugh. Going to need to order a replacement hose.

Friends of ours Supra broke down so my daughter had to tow their Supra back to house with her jet ski.

Good weekend!

Thank you! The lift is at my brothers place in Sandy Beach, north end of the lake by the country club. I will find out who did the lift. The rent it on occasion, so had the foresight to build it to accodomate both a toon or a vhull.
