24-7 backflip 7mm lamey build

[HBCwatercraft]

This build has been started on pwctoday.com, but now I'm putting it on the X since im on here more.I traded my 05 snowpro race sled for it in the late season of last summer.
The ski was built by 24-7, reinforce,790 bigbore,prop,etc..when i got this ski
i planned on doing nothing to it,due to the fact i thought it was the best it
could be.

SPECS
*ported and sleeved 790cc
*greater yam girn head 240psi
*b pipe
*water box
*factory fire ign (trash)
*ac -2 pole
*24-7 hood and nose
*skat cut back
*24-7 foot holds
*24-7 exit drain
*24-7 carbon chin pad
*jetnetics flywheel
*full spec 48 carbs
*riva intake
*carbon tech reeds

after riding the ski for the few months left before it froze; i learned a good amount of tricks other than barrel rolls and a backflip which are not
possible with this size motor..nor did i ever plan to ever acomplish this.
when the season ended i freshened up the complete motor and got ready for
next year.Ive riden and owned a lot of jet skis, all stand ups, but this is my first superjet. I race motocross,sleds,paintball,(522hp honda prelude project car) but never took jetskiing too serious until i got my rn and entered the world of the X and pwctoday.com and seeing what can be done on the youtube,BUN, MALONE,LENZI...all this is what got me inspired to move to the next level.
Im going to post some pics and brief changes on what ive done so far.

I think with some skill you can easily roll with 790cc's, and get pretty far with a BF. Sweet hull too!

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Thats what the ski looked like when i bought it,had to refoam from water getting in threw exhaust flange,and cut back for the trim setup and better water flow.Tray sides got cut for looks and weight saveings,inner hull got reinforce,lower hull got chimed like Buns hull or lenzis backflip style, still working on that.

bare with me larning how to resize pics to put them on..lol

Rolls are possible with stock engines.

Rolls are possible with stock engines.

Umm... yea but look who built the motor

 

[HBCwatercraft]

yes i know this?i wasnt able to get good enough in that amount of time.im not blameing the motor for this.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

motor ripped...no problems with it at all.

pics of motor after i rebuilt it, and alum tank i had made 3.5 gal with foam,also has sump for every drop of fuel,batt going to middle of hull.
Was going to use this motor as a back up but selling, new motor is being built by Paul LPW pv lamey 7mm stroke Rad crank,85mm bore,flat tops,ported upper and lower,BUN head 200psi.

 

[Speedfreak]

That is one heck of a motor your having built. That thing should rip in a backflip hull.

paul has been great. when i first talked to him, it was after hours, he was out eating dinner and i didnt want to take up his time but he insisted on giving me a direction on what would be the best motor setup for me. I've dealt with a lot of engine builders and sales from being in the motocross and the sled world,and Paul has been one of the best ive worked with. i feel more than confident his motor setup is going to meet or exceed my expectations.

I bought a ADVENT ign right after getting the ski,beware this ign might not work with ur alum flywheel..i found this out the hard way even after telling him my exact setup.i overnighted a factory fly and that fixed the no spark issue.this just goes for some alum flys,i had a jetnetic not sure if i spelled that right but u get it.The SPARK is crazy with the ADVENT...

The ac pole is sold and i was thinking XFT -2 -3 -4?Or UMI -2 any suggestions.
I also made a mold of my worx ride plate and made a carbonfiber version shortened,saved alot of weight there.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

These are some of the BUN parts im haveing shipped over here,the cylinder isn't one of them but the head is not sure if its going to be girn or not,one of the others would be there throttle drum.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

fabed up a raider trim,38 deg of up throw.welded new bosses further forward,glasses steer noz so when i made it bigger it would still be strong and made the inner lip set back further so when in up position water wouldnt come out the bottom,ill post pics when im fiished they will speak 1000 words..

Is there any reason you haven't considered an Xmetal pole? The curve of the pole matches the SR-71 hood extremely well. The steering cable relocation helps with extreme throw on the turnplate. Not to mention the dual breathers will help that massive motor your building.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

iv deff considered the x metal,i just forgot to throw it up there,id take a x metal over the umi..if i dont find a nice used one ill be ordering either the x or xft pro. i just wish the xft alowed me to run a diff chin pad, not to crazy about the way it looks.But whatever?

 

[Big Kahuna]

hey, what about this idea. Get an XMetal Pole from Pat, have him deliver it un powercoated and then wrap it with Carbon......... you get the smooth lines of the X Metal with the appearance of the XFT Carbon........

also, have you seen pics of the lamey's with a non girdled ADA? very smooth plus domes are more redily available.
probably much cheaper also.

Pat won't do that - I've tried. :hitwithrock:
Even if it's powdercoated, it's still 'wrapable'. I might be wrapping mine this year too.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

I cant wait till the glass work is done so i can get this off to paint,ya deff like the look of the non girn,But BUN all the way just to be diff...id like to make my hull look like Buns so nice, so want to use as many of his parts as possible who no's makebe in the future get his hull 12000.00 shipped.
