View Full Version : Waterdawg up to his old tricks

I stopped by Waterdawg Kustomz on the 30th to pick up a Diablo hood, nose and bracket for the superjet. Jeff was a really nice guy and was there late painting a customers boat. When I got back to Cali I found the hood liner would not fit my dry pipe. After talking to Jeff on the 1st he said no problem and would make a dry pipe hood and have it out by Wednesday the 3rd.
So I called again on the 6th Saturday and asked what's up with the hood. He said the hood is done and will be out on Monday the 8th. I call yesterday the 10th to get a tracking # and he said he wasn't at the shop that he would call me with it later. Well, after 6pm I decided to call him back because I had not heard from him. All I got was a full voice mail. Called today the 11th, voice mail again. What's up with this guy, heard he is flaky?

If I'm not mistaken, he's either on his way to daytona, or super busy. I think this belongs in the feedback forum too.
Did you send the hood that didnt fit your dry pipe back to him, or do you still have it?

He wanted to send the new hood so I had a box to return the old hood in so they don't get damaged.

U sure? I always thought there was the 98-99 blue and then the 00-03 blue. I'm pretty sure the 00-03 blue is the same blue that was found on the yamaha race boats in the late 90's. Thats where I thought the saying "Yamaha Blue" came from. Hey I could be wrong. Not sure.:dunno: Either way there was no reason for this guy to be a d!ck about it.

No worries. Have you ridden it much though and gotten the hang of it yet? Did you ever have Kevin look at it and see if it was jetted properly. If you get the chance pull the jets on that thing and post what jets are in those carbs. I really think there is a lot left in that motor. I think it's running really rich.:biggthumpup:

As far as I know he is inbound to Daytona and is not in the shop. I don't think he will be back there until late next week. However is crew is still there so they will still be cranking out parts. Not sure on the customer support, I think Jeff handles that but as I said he is out of town.

hey Egor, Blowsion has had issues getting some stuff out just like all the other companies........ Granted Jeff has a past that is haunting him, but form WF to now he has been shipping a lot of products out. I know of several who have ordered hoods and gotten them withing a week or two..... Also, leading up to the Daytona Ride all the companies who are attending have been slammed trying to get last minute parts for people who are attending...... Is that an excuse, no, but a fact of life.......

It seems like a lot of the great builders like to do things by themselves. Some people are so meticulous and dedicated to their work that they don't like to have someone else do it for them. They like to make sure it is done by them so they know it is done right. Obviously not the best business decision though.
Does Steve at WF have many people working for him? When I met him and saw his shop he definitely seemed like the type of person who was very meticulous with his work and really spent time on the attention to detail.

Labor is one of the largest expenses. But hire the right people, skilled and talented, and it can be rewarding.
I have never dealt with Jeff directly, but his products (that I have seen) are really top notch. I (as well as all of us I think) have heard of Jeffs past with mailing things out. However, lately there have been several threads praising his work and reliablility. Daytona is a big event and Jeff I'm sure has been busy getting ready. No excuse for bad service, however, I would give him a week before getting to upset.
Good luck.

I just bought several things from Jeff. He got the products to me as promised and even took the time to write a long email with exact installation instructions. Not saying what happened is right or wrong but being in business for yourself is not an easy task and with top quality products such as the ones I recieved I am sure that he is busy. I always contacted him through e-mail and he has replied in a reasonable time. I would also give him a chance to defend himself. My 2 cents.

If you base it off his past from 3 years ago up to October 2006 then yes.... But, from October to current Jeff has made a 180 turn.. He has been shipping out parts right and left. I know of two guys that ordered hoods and both got them in about 1-2 weeks after order was placed, plus numerous footholds. One kid ordered an XJet hull in November, If I am not mistaken it was delivered to him in Daytona... And the kid that posted the first here did recieve his hood. but it would not clear his dry pipe....... that is normal, hell, with a stock hood you have to cut some of them or heat up the plastic liner and indent it to clear the top of the pipe. Did this guy tell Jeff "hey, I am running a dry pipe?" (Cant remember that part of the post). Who knows.. Honestly, I wish everytime someone had a problem with Blowsion, 24/7, Wamiltons, Watercraft Factory or XFT that they woudl come here and post. I think you would be suprised at how many mistakes are made.

depending on what kind of riding you want to do....... if all you are going to do is freeride in the surf, the Blowsion Joe Kenny Hood is very durable, but I found that it did not work for me for flatwater freestyle (Hood tricks). If you are into flatwater you could not go wrong with a Wammer Hood or the hood that Legdrag.com is going to be selling. I have not personally used the WCF hood but know some people who do compete on the WCF hood for flatwater FS. The 24/7 Hood is the standard that all other hoods are measured by whether it be flatwater or freeride, but I cannot speak for any hood coming out of 24/7 now that it is under new ownership.... would have to be a long time with lots of R&D Testing to see how it going to hold up. Same goes for the WD hood, I have not used it, personally the handholds do not look like there was much thought put into the design of them or the locations of the handholds.
SkiNaked
01-16-2007, 12:18 AM
The Blowsion hood is great for both flatwater and surf. The Blowsion hood is very durable and great for both! If you are doing hood tricks there is nothing wrong with the any of the hoods mentioned above. Of course, Hood tricks are for chicks.
Big Kahuna
01-16-2007, 07:55 AM
guess you have never leap frogged up on the hood and reached down and grabed the handhold, where the crease is that runs half way down the handhold (scalleped part of the hood) it is really painfull. Also the shape of the hood throws the center of gravity off, it more pointed up at the top vs the flatter profile of a Wammer or 24/7. Besides that, that hood is built like a brick.........

Completely disagree. Talked to him for hours and he is 100% normal except for the fact that he has given up his life to create his company. He doesn't party at all! He just walks around talking to anyone and everyone about this sport with the enthusiasm of a 13 year old kid in a freeride candy store.

Jeff was awesome.....
sucks you guys didnt get your parts right away guys, but if you think about it Jeff was on the other side of the country with the hull he donated to the ride and answering question after question, helping people fix boats, and giving awesome tech support......
I sure everything will get worked out as soon as he gets back to the shop....

I met Jeff for the first time and he was really laid back. I saw the x-jet, REV, 1200 motor, diablo hood kits ect and they were all top notch. Allot of his bad rep is undeserved IMHO. I talked to some guys in Daytona that told me how long it took to get a motor built or parts from other places yet Waterdawg seem to be the one that gets dumped on. Bad experiences elsewhere don't seem to get the press he does. To me his stuff is worth the wait, I know the quality will be there when it is done.

I first met Jeff in Havasu and saw the blue REV hull there. At that time, I was still skeptical about him mainly because of the shipping issues. I rode Luke's X-Jet in Texas last year and was impressed with the hull overall. Jeff has made a HUGE turnaround concerning people receiving their items AND receiving them in a timely fashion, as well. The Daytona giveaway was UNREAL to me and something like that was almost necessary in order for him to salvage his reputation---he went over the top with the hull giveaway, IMO.
The billet 1200 engine was BADASS the REV hull was BADASS. Jeff---if you're reading this, do me ONE favor, though---change that damn exhaust to aluminum for the "what if?" factor. :sneaky:
You've proven your capabilities as a builder and your business operations are getting MUCH better---quit wasting all that ABS pipe and save that for us plumbers. :haha:

What a work of art man! I actually held a cylinder and head in my hand and the detail/design is simply amazing. A friggin' 1200cc 2 stroke 2 cylinder is a as badazz as it may ever get in a stand up!!
That is until he unveils his 1380!!!!!!:sneaky:

They fixed it quick but it is a non-issue on baots w/ waterboxes. He will do whatever the customer wants. I ordered my x-jet with the aluminum tubing. I am achually surprised that ramjet did not melt th silicone hose as well. His motor got really hot :bigeyes:

No doubt in my mind that it was repaired in less than 30 minutes---from what I heard the "meltdown" was close to the "firewall"---my point is (and always was) the fact that you may have to open up the tray to repair damages incurred from a blown or clogged cooling line.
Jeff should make this a learning experience and refuse to install plastic exhaust tubing in the future. With everything else he does being top-notch work, he shouldn't have to scrimp on the details. His customers will appreciate it. :biggthumpup:

i do agree with this point though....waterbox + wetpipe would be fine......
I think jeff said that ramjets motor got up to like 1100 degrees or something like that? :bigeyes: (now, that # may be off...but I remember thinking ":bigeyes: "
(it was late in the evening :1244: )

He's "supposed" to put aluminum tubing in my new hull as well. I say "supposed" because I'm still waiting for it! :banghead:

How dare you take time to take care of business down here in Florida when this gentleman is waiting for parts.
On top of it all you still have to make me a chin pad.
:haha:
Jeff, you is cool people.
I say that even though I didn't win your hull.:biggthumpup:
