I suppose I could always just get it repitched too.

Oh lightened flywheel. Forgot about that. I'm not sure Ill swap any time soon.. Impellers aren't terribly expensive either so its not a huge worry if I have to upgrade in the future.

What mods are out there for the 650? Aside from a head, sbn44 and exhaust? I'd have to go to porting and internal mods right? How much of a difference would the slightly taller prop make?

After emailing back and forth a few times, it was suggested an 8/14 custom pitch

It looks like the 9/15 is the smallest without going to a custom pitch. Waiting to hear back on what they say or if anyone else can weigh in on this

I just sent a message to impros, will see what they return. The superjet has gobs more bottom end though doesn't it?

That's not a bad idea. I hear so much good about the hooker and think it's the best option. Just not sure which

Yea..i kind of figured, but I can't seem to find anyone saying anything about a particular pitch hooker that is best for a mostly stock ski. I'm leaning toward the skat, but the hooker is supposed to be a great prop..

Hey guys I've got a pretty much stock ski(did the stock pipe mod, will be doing some minor port cleanup and polishing, possibly a high compression head) and want to throw in a better impeller. From what I've found the skat 8/16 is pretty much the go to, the Solas super camber 13/18 is sluggish...

Well I got home around 8, found all my packages and got to work: so over the week I got to thinking what if it was cavitation? That would make a ton of sense. So I looked at the pump and sure enough, it was "sealed" with black rtv that had broken away and had holes and cracks. Nice. I pulled...

perfect, thank you for explaining it, that makes semse. I'll run super tech than and 40:1 is what I was planning anyhow. Thank you!!

I run benol in my Dirtbike, and was wondering if it's okay to run in my 650sx, it is not a tcw-3 rated oil, but I can't see the ski needing more rating than my 09 yz250 does. Am I mistaken? I'll use super tech if it's an issue. P.s I know the oil topic has likely been beaten to death already...

I cleaned the hull up today. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better. Went from this: To this: I painted and baked the engine base plate and the tops of the motor mounts: I also did the motor mount mod/rebuild: I also installed a crank case block off plate(don't have pictures)...

Yea thats where I was trying, but no matter how I spun it I couldnt seem to get it to line up. The exterior is in pretty good shape. Needs a bit of cleaning and the gel coat is cracked in some places but overall very good.

I apparently don't know how to post as my pictures ended up in the middle of it all..
