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

$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.

    You seem way less stressed since getting rid of the building. Seem like you have a lot more fun.

    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!
  • 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 😃
  • @tomwspoon

    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.
  • @shtopfl5247
    Kinda envious that you guys still have lake weather 😄 these two jetski’s are an awesome buy
  • 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!!!)
  • From this side of the screen, it certainly looked like the best $500 purchase you have made this year! Fun video!
  • @Leebs
    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.

    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.

    I’m happy you were able to validate the “no left turns” feature of the TS! - Lots of memories!
  • 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.
  • @helo1bob1
    One of your best buys. Keep up the great channel.

    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
