Default maiden voyage

Hi everyone, I thought I was going to go with 2 07 aquatrax, but ended up getting a better deal on 2 06 turbo's. They look like new, and here in a little bit, I'm going to take them out for the first time.
I have to admit that I've never been on an aquatrax, and the reason I went with them is for that famous Honda reliability.
I'll post later on how the ride went, going out with my two sons. Wish me luck! Mike

Hey congrats and good luck. Ok, I'm sure you know the post ride deal with the turbo. Ya know, about making sure you lube the actuator rod so it will continue to work properly so the waste gate doesn't stick open or shut.

I agree they are reliable with out the turbo, good thing because Honda Dealers don't want to look at them and parts are scarce since they shut down production in 2009.

I'm sure you got a good deal. Lot of new skis just sittin in crates from 07 up

Enjoy your toys! Just do good corrosion control and the Hondas will outlast any other PWC. I suggest you read my thread on PWCTODAY.COM "30 minutes can save you thousands" which is in the Honda forums.
