I spent about oh.. all of a week looking for PWCs. I stopped by a local dealer and fell in love (again) with the Kawasaki 250X. Its a 250HP, supercharged 1500cc 4 stroke. I wanted the green/white ones and after a week of searching, haggling, etc, I rolled away with two for a good deal.

Friday I took them out (right after pickup) and dropped them in the bay. The Motoman break in was done on both. Saturday morning I did an oil/filter change on both (with 25minutes on the clock). I took them out yesterday afternoon, but didn't ride long as it was an S2000 meet/BBQ and I couldn't get them anchored right in the chop.

This morning I couldn't take it anymore - most recreational vehicle manufacturers feel the need to cover their products in gaudy stickers (reminds me of a kids BMX bike or a riced out Honda Civic) - so they had to go. The plan was simple - take them off and clean them up after riding this weekend - of course after a couple of hours crawling all over them and all the work put it I decided to waste my Sunday afternoon on them again - this time with all the attention and focus on just enjoying them. We launched at a park and rode down the river into downtown Tampa, through the Channels and up to Channeside (I could see my building from the water, pretty cool, I live right next to the cruise terminal).

After we got back I finally ended up washing/flushing (salt terminator), dryed and sprayed down the engine with engine treatment, etc. They are clean and asleep with a total of 1.5hrs? on each LOL. Great weekend and really looking forward to spending a lot of time on these things for years to come!
