97 Superjet Project- its bad, don't laugh

[Ollie Rastabean]

also thanks Ollie for moving the pics. I would prefer not to divulge the dollar amount as I had to have this ski after riding yamahahaha's a few weeks ago and seeing the HUGE difference between my stock 650 and his. I am ruined now, I need more power. so dump a ton of money on putting another motor and pipe and impeller on my 92 sj or sell it and my other 6 skis and go to town on one good freestyle ski?

I would get that round nose on the water.

An unported 701 w b pipe _ impellor will surprise you.

PM me a cell number so I can unload this hood when I get back. I work by the St. Pete Clearwater airport.

-O

 

[tom21]

PM's sent. Unreal! and we need to hook up cause I have some friends that ride and we always need more riders!

yeah, the ski will happen pretty quick once I get some work done and clear a little free time.

is it not normal to have 44"s. they came with 38's, right?

 

[cookerq62]

Those carbs look like 44's, good deal. I started a build from pretty much scratch but never painted it. It's not that hard get a manual and your set between here and pwc archives. I would consider buying a decent used motor rather then rebuilding that one right now unless your doing pretty much thewhole thing yourself. Was there a prop in that pump??

 

[tom21]

I feel like I keep saying this, this was a runnig ski almost yesterday, it was disassembled, the hood is sold, some of the hardware is still in the hull, yes some of it is nasty to look at, but if I had a hood and the missing hardaware I could and am capable of putting this together- TONITE and be riding tomorrow. the motor spins free. yes it is crusty. now someone please be funny and make fun of the bubbly turf or say," wow that is one clean ski!" or even better, with a stock 701 and this pipe/carb setup how well will this thing run? what rideplate will be best with this for freestyle? Impeller? toploader? any one have some of this stuff they want to sell? does anyone want to try out the awesome Cobrajet steering:bigeyes: ?(sorry Jeff, its gotta go, yes I will ride it once, no it will not stay on even if it works great. It will just get broken when I beach or load it on the trailer)

I am not a newbie to skis or repairs. I am far from being the best but I am sure I am capable. Sincerely I am greatful for the advice, just bring it up a notch from beginner to novice. Please.

I am so eager for that kind of stuff so please make fun of my ski, have fun with me....cause it won't be too long and I will start making imrovements. lets have some fun with it for now. there are so many funny people on here, lets go already. I am stoked, I have my dream project:arms: lets get it on!

 

[sjetrider]

I am sure it will be awesome once done, I just wanted to kinda follow a build up including pricing, just to see how mine compares and how it compares to modding a fairly new boat in good condition. I will follow the build post and maybe be of some help along the way, now lets get this boat to rehab.

 

[tom21]

I'll try to help a little if I can. What would you think my 97 is worth if it was a running ski with what it has minus the hood? it has the stock impeller. I think you can see the rest in the pics.

 

[EvanB85]

He thinks that turf looks a little fruity.

 

[FLY6584]

Hey Tom you could always send that motor into SBT and get a refurbed one and you'll be on the water next week!!!! Talk to Bryan down at SBT. I'm sure he'll hook you up. :smashfreakB::lightning:

:haha: :haha: :haha:


Oh by the way sorry we never got together and did some riding. The end of the summer got really busy for me.

I guess after you rode my round you just had to have one?:biggthumpup:

 

[oxnard111]

Build it, good luck, and atleast you got a B

 

[Shonuff]

It's got a B-Pipe and 44s, I wouldn't be surprised if it had other hidden goodies.

 

[tom21]

fly - why so blue? its Florida, season is never over for us. I have a new full body wetsuit that I have never worn. Plus isn't it a little more choppy in the winter? we can still ride. I will anyway. its a good dare I guess. call me at Christmas that will be fun. LOL.

yes thank you for the ride on your ski, I didn't mean to leave you out. but I have ridden something with some goodies under the hood and now I have to have more. here's the link

No worries.

Yeah I can't wait for Christmas Break. I'm hoping we'll get some waves from a front. We will see. If we get some storms coming by soon then I'll def make a drive down to do some riding with you guys at Dunedin.

Good luck with the build.

 

[tom21]

you got my number -use it! or Pm your # and I'll call you when I /we ride. Plus I can hook you up with those guys in the event I can't go.

 

[tom21]

evan- its a special kind it has some river rock pebbles in it for added traction.

 

[Idok]

no cash.. free hood.. just sand, fill in scratches, prime, and paint.

that's just how we do it down here.


D F T M F C

Tom, E's right....thats just the way we do it in region 7, just remmber the karma and show the love when you can...



I swear, I give aways 5x more parts than I sell....


saki's not totally without gain...getting rid of hood = more space in garage!

 

[surferdude345]

That looks like a fun project, the only thing you might have trouble with are bolts. Otherwise get that thing together, and get on the water

 

[T-bone]

im hoping your useing the term "bought" very loosely.

 

[Big Kahuna]

be sure to get the motor aligned properly........

 

[tom21]

yes I am trying to accept graciously. But I would like to buy my new friends some beer! :Banane35: :friday: uke:

 

[tom21]

what alignment? this thing is just like a front wheel drive Chrysler ain't it? you just put the thingamajig in the whatchamacallit with the doohickey, right?

I got the tuning specs already too.

Seefalations + Meffalations = Eefalations.

No prob.:haha:
