[FullTHROTLE92]

very nice all get some of mine by the end on this weekend

[delagem]

August 2009 at Long Point State Park near Ithaca, NY. The one of my son on the beach doesn't look like much, but Chris, age 7, decided he wanted to take the Octane for a ride, climbed on, and off he went! Doing about 40mph for 100 yards, less than 10' off the beach! Never ridden a standup before, either.

This pic was taken after I ran down the beach chasing him, yelling for him to stop. Like he could hear me over the motor....

Guess that'll teach me to pull the lanyard when I'm not riding......

Heres my few pics

That jump your doing there is that flat water?
What ride plate do you have?
I'm asking because I can not get mine to jump on flat water very well.

[delagem]

Yeah, that was pretty much flat water, maybe a light chop. I was standing on the ski, holding throttle at idle, with the back end of the ski about 18" underwater, riding nose high, and just gassed it a touch. Jumps right out of the water. Stock rideplate, grate, impeller.

Does yours bog and therefore not launch you? If so, it may be your carbs. Mine were horrible, jetting way off. The ski almost wouldn't run until I got over 1/2 throttle, and a bear to start. I sent 'em to Randy at Watcon to rebuild, rejet, remove choke, and put an idle and primer on. It was actually cheaper to send them to Randy then to buy the kits and rebuild myself!

If your ski is revving up just fine but not popping you out of the water, maybe your impeller is worn out? Check for dings and clearance around outside edge.

[Jawbreaker]

Here are a few octane pics! The last pic is not me.... It's Mike Serlin... one of my favorite shots by Chris!

[FullTHROTLE92]

Idk what to compare it to it runs pretty nice hits around 50 or alittle more and if i tromp on it it takes of just it seems like it likes to stay hooked to the water. but you can here the pistens hitting if that what you mean by bogging?
and just about how much did it cost you? and how long did it take?

Dude sweet pictures man

[cjbchopper]

Picked up a '03 Octane over the winter and I am currently rebuilding the motor. I bought it with a bad crank and crankcase. Hull is in excellent shape, motor will be as good as new in a couple days.

since you have the tubbies done, I'd rec'd contacting wolf child for a mod list on his star boat

it has a -6 pole, 48's and some other stuff and has to be one of the fastest and best handling ski's ive ever ridden

Damn, I'd love to get my octanes down there to compare... :cool: Not to mention, just to ride in the surf with y'all... again (been a long time)

[Rdkev84]

I love the white one RMBC. That's your old handle pole on mine that I bought from you (I'm Rhman19 on pwctoday).

Oh, cool... Yep, that's it. Still waiting to get my -4 x-metal for the white one, and then the red one will get the -2 x-metal hand-me-down from the white one.

Need to get some new pics too, I have different graphics on the white one now.

[spence]

Full throttle 92 what octane (gas) are you running? If its pinging its detonating which means the pistons are hitting the head because there isnt enough octane in the fuel you are using. Use something over 90 if its availible

[Rdkev84]

We went out riding today.

Detonation doesn't mean the pistons are hitting the head. LOL

[Wolf Child]

I guess that puts me and RCMB back in the lead with 2 running Octanes each. :bump:

Mine is the first one. It's got mostly handling mods- worx intake grate and ride plate, molded in tubbies, umi handle pole(mine's an 02 so didn't come with it) and shortened turn plate. Middle one is stock besides a shortened turn plate. And far one has foot holds and basically same handling mods as mine.


i call dibs on the far one!

As long as you can get your boy off it.


bummer.

Yes I'm aware, thanks for rubbing it in. :poke: :biggrin:

[Wolf Child]

other than tubbies, pole and grate, what handling mods?

My star boat has tubbies, works grate, dominator plate, short Blowsion TP, -4 wdk pole, then the engine has novi 48s, some engine & CDI work from watcon.

there are some other things I'm leaving out off the top of my melon, but it gets the job done.


nice rides one and all.

[nokfir]

never ridden one. they do look sick thoo

Just those mods are done. I kind of progressed with the handling mods last year(bought mine last june). Started with the grate and ride plate, then got the turn plate. And did the tubbies and pole over the off season. Yesterday was actually my first ride with it like it is and so far really like it.

It definitely has come a long way from stock handling. We'll usually switch between skis when riding, so riding them back to back it's easy to tell the differences.

How do you like the novi's?

I love my ski. ( the stocker is my son's ski ) going form one to the other is night and day. and not just in the handling deept.

Some recent pics with the -4" x-metal pole and different decals.... plus ghetto riser bars :loser:

[DiagNuLL]

very nice !

plus ghetto riser bars :loser:

how do you like those riser bars & and what setup did you use ??

[onlyFX-1]

Looks good man, I like it with the -4 pole. I think im running like a -6 on mine

[RMBC Freeride]

very nice !



how do you like those riser bars & and what setup did you use ??

Love them! The position feels good. They are modified Mountain Bike bars.

Looks good man, I like it with the -4 pole. I think im running like a -6 on mine

Yeah it made look and ride a lot better. Should have put on the -4 a long time ago

[FlightRisk]

How did you modify the mountain bike bars??

[RMBC Freeride]

How did you modify the mountain bike bars??

I widened them :sneaky: and straightened them :sneaky: and reinforced them... :sneaky:

[stanton]

thoughs? i was like thaws, thrus, ohhhh those!

[delagem]

Debated one of those sticker kits on eBay, or getting something custom, but I really liked the look of the stock ski. Here's before and after. Once you figure out how to attach the awning, the Octane is really quite roomy....

[Grant]

wow must look showroom with brand new stock graphics.

[WFO Speedracer]

I rode Sweeny's Octane at the Smith lake ride,I love that boat,loved the power,the handling all of it,I want one!

[tipafew]

yeah! it means your power band is worn out. everyone knows that. :fing02:

My power band is a little worn as well. I've been thinking about getting the red one. They last a little longer.
