Nice! The bad guys are sometimes behind the badge...and in the end, it's good to see a city do the right thing. That's rare. Thanks for posting. - Brian

Oh...and there's a BIG difference between 2-strokes (cheaper, easier to work on) and 4-strokes (basically a modern motorcycle engine with a gear-reduction, to maintain ~7000rpm prop speed with 10,000rpm engine speed). Pretty much any jet ski / waverunner before ~2005 will be 2-stroke...late models will ALL be 4-stroke. - Brian

I would also say that the Yamaha's are the MOST reliable, Kawasaki being a close second (but the Kawi's are more 'bland', IMO...not as fast, not as fun to ride). 50mph is no problem.... The 60mph barrier is where they start to be considered 'fast'. I have a '98 XL1200 (3-seater, 1200cc Yamaha, 135hp) that does 58 (on GPS), and a '00 GP120R (2-seater, 1200CC with 155hp) that will do almost 68mph (also on GPS). Be wary of people claiming overly fast speeds...they will say "does 70mph"...but that's probably the stock speedo. They are WAY off. Mine, for example...shows 75mph when I'm doing ~65mph. Very typical. People call them 'dream-o-meters', not speedometers. NOTE: Get educated about safe boating, and ALWAYS wear your lifevest. - Brian

^^^ ...and I'll send you a PM now. - Brian EDIT: ***SPF - SOLD PENDING FUNDS *** SOLD *** SOLD***

Who's your brother? I ran those meets for close to 2 years...! Back when INTMO was an actual 'University of Florida Affiliated Club', I was president...and I led most the late-night 'drives' that we did. - Brian (gold 240SX, turbo'd)

^^^ I got your PM...it's the stock 105amp alternator I'm selling. I edited the first post to make that more clear. STILL FOR SALE, GUYS. - Brian

Bump...want this gone. $25 shipped will net me ~$8 or so after shipping and PayPal fees...c'mon...that's cheap! I just don't want to throw it away! - Brian

$30 shipped...otherwise, I might as well keep it. Any takers? - Brian

$35 shipped ... $30 shipped ... ???

As the title says...I'm selling my stock tip. I've held onto it thinking I'd use it on a project...but it's been 2 years, and I think I prefer the 'tipless' look on trucks. *** SOLD, PENDING FUNDS *** $40 shipped . $35 shipped EDIT: $30 SHIPPED (PayPal preferred) Here's couple pics: E-mail is best: orion<at>gru<dot>net (that's my PayPal address as well)...or PM me here. **** SOLD ***** - Brian

Looks like it's sold, pending payment. I'll update if it's gone for sure. EDIT: Haven;t heard back from the guy...??? STILL FOR SALE, CHEAP! - Brian

As the title says, I'm selling the stock 105amp alternator off my '03 SS. Took it off with ~35,000 on the truck (when I upgraded to a 145amp 'KG3' from a Tahoe). Since then, it's been sitting on a shelf in the garage. I just want it GONE...someone must need it? $25 SHIPPED via USPS 'flat rate' box. E-mail ( orion <at> gru <dot> net ) is best...or PM me here. - Brian

UPS Ground shipping looks to be around $20 (it's heavy!)... At $40, I feel like this is not a "deal" for you. How about this - Send me $32 by PayPal, and it's yours. That will net me about $10 after PayPal fees and shipping, which is just fine. I just want it off my 'spare parts' shelf, and in the hands of someone who might use it. Sound good? I'll PM you now... - Brian

As the title says, I'm selling the stock alt. off my '03 SS. Took it off with ~35,000 on the truck....upgraded to a 145amp 'KG3' from a Tahoe. Since then, it's been sitting on a shelf in the Garage. $20 + shipping...shipping shouldn't be too much, but it is heavy. orion <at> gru <dot> net ..or PM me here. - Brian

^^^ I think somewhere around $9XXX is the reserve, now. Relisted last week: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Bronco...312253027QQcmdZ - Brian
