Fixed Steer Squarenose

***BruceSki*** · 10-19-2010, 08:30 PM

Well this is going to be more of an assembly than a build. Everything is basically done already. But here it goes.

90 square. Picked it up pretty cheap, had turf, footholds and a blowsion one way, but was beat up and a had crappy repair with a ton of resin on it.

Here's what I've done so far:

Reinforced the engine bay with some 1208 biax and cleaned up the bootleg repair.
Added a set of Tom21 tubbies.
Turfed squarenose extinguisher case for a front foothold.
Installed pump with 08-up stock prop and wetwolf cone.
Riva top loader intake grate.
Pro-tec rideplate
TDR waterbox

I just got my TOM21 hood delivered today and mocked it up.

I'm going to pull the motor out of my roundnose and put it in this ski.
62T/61X 701 .50 over
Xscream freestyle ported
MOD B pipe
ADA head with 33cc domes
MSD enhancer
Boyesen Reeds w/reed stuffers
Riva Intake manifold
Dual 44's 4 hole carbs

stock pump with 08 SJ prop and wetwolf cone

Very nice man! It will be the only ski you want to ride! Trust me!

I dunno about that... My RN is getting an ss865. I've never rode a fixed steer and figured what the hell. May as well try it out. I can always put a pole on the ski if I don't like it.

Once you go fixed steer you won't go back. I can't wait to hear what you think of it once you start riding and really jumping it.

Can't wait to get my own place soon. My pops is a junk collector. There must be 4 or 5 blown up old outboards he can't bear to part with.

Your garage is filled with my junk... You have a shop and you clean it often. You just have a lot going on.. It's fine just like that hood the lines on the square look great. Can't wait to hear a ride report..

how does a flat deck SJ handle compared to an X2?

**Twinturbostang** · 10-20-2010, 12:27 PM

I'm doing the flatdeck sj right now.
My flat deck sxr rides awesome! And I have toms fixed hood on that.

I'm doing the sj now because everyone likes these SJs so much and I have a ski with much invested into it.

***BruceSki*** · 10-29-2010, 04:33 PM

The Fixed SJ handles awesome. Still rides like a superjet only the pole doesn't move lol.

It was really easy to roll and re-entrys and carving on it were a lot of fun. I'm going to mess with bar placement and a different steering setup than stock, but so for its a blast. I couldn't be any happier with it. I had no idea what to expect but its a very fun ski to ride.

game on sucker!!!!!!!

**Twinturbostang** · 11-04-2010, 10:56 PM

That's my old hood! LOL

Talked to steve, he's doing the SXR up with a tom21 hood, wait till you guys try that setup! We are building #2 of the SXR flat deck fixed steers now! Most fun ski I have been on in a long time.

**ryan** · 11-04-2010, 11:01 PM

sxr that yamaha power

***BruceSki*** · 11-05-2010, 12:50 PM

lots of CT parts on that boat LOL.

**ryan** · 11-05-2010, 06:48 PM

not a bad boat for $50.00 huh?

***BruceSki*** · 05-26-2011, 04:48 PM

Still a very fun boat. I don't think it will ever be my primary, but it is sweet none the less. Did a little rattle can paint to it this winter and stuck a coupler stickers on it.

I have to do some adjusting to make the different steering work that I put on it too. Unfortunately the first ride out on it I broke my throttle return spring and got scared of a runaway after that. I burned maybe a half gallon of gas and sat on the beach.

**kawasakit2me** · 05-26-2011, 06:27 PM

Nice! Not sure how I missed this before! Fixed-steering fan here too.

I like the look of the square SO much more than the round. Looks great!

**MCrider** · 08-03-2011, 10:18 AM

did you have to cut the front nose cover so the hood wouldnt hit it comming up?
