[HBCwatercraft]

whats the perpose of 2 peices in one side,coulnt u use one tap it in 1/4 inch or so and glass the remainer?just woundering.

i was going to go the same rout with my drains,but thought about it and decided not 2 due to the fact u can service them,like the x-metal,wam,etc salt water is going to eat those and u wont be able to get to them without work..i have a advent and it didnt work with my jet fly,talked to greg desiner of advent told me the jet and some others dont work with his set up,just to warn u if u have a no spark issue.

Thought it would be stronger with both I guess? I did glass in the back as well..

Well then...if worse comes to worst I'll install a x-metal,wam,etc where it comes out into the tray. That was my original plan till I ended up not haning $150 to spend on them. I ride in salt water once a year so I'll think I'll be fine but I'll make sure to flush it out good.

Thanks for the heads up on the advent, I'll be putting the stocker back in then.

Advents for a SXR will work with a RAD wheel. that's the same combo I've ran in my surf boat.

Great work, boat is really coming together :Banane35:

Just picked up my buddy and I's hood from Bobby at trinity. Absolutely amazing!!! So light and so strong I'm putting it on tomorrow and breaking in the motor.

 

[Proformance1]

Are you going to run the hoods as is or are you going to put breather tubes in the hoods?

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

I dont think they need them so I guess as is?? We'll have to see lol

 

[Proformance1]

Possibly not, I just don't know if the ski lands upside down do the tubes help to keep water from coming in untill the ski sinks below the tubes?

 

[MattSmith]

I would love to feel how your ski rides. I like what you're doing. You are doing so many things that i've always been too lazy to do. when you're done with yours i 'll send mine up to ya!

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

Matt, I just got back from a week in FL riding it, I honestly have to say I would have liked my stock length, keeping the nosedown was a BIT&H in the surf..

 

[w-nut]

so whats the verdict on the hull shortening , would you do it again on another ski or leave it stock lenth .

by the way you did a great job on it , it looks fantastic

 

[Proformance1]

Get a trim set up. It helps a lot in the surf to keep the nose up or down, depending on how you want to set it up.

awesome dude.

For those of you who asked about the trim...

I first used a blowsion skattrak trim cable but afther going through 3 of them in a month I decided I needed to redesign.

I bought the cable (minus housing) from TerryCable and used it in my skattrak housing. I made a Stainless Bracket for the cable - needs to be strong so it doesn't bend under the tension on the cable with the trim being in the up position.

Also with how the cable is connected to the trim nozzle, as the nozzle gets pushed up from hard landings it will just slide up the cable instead of binding and breaking the cable with the trim lever not pulled (what was happening with my blowsion/skattrak cable)

 

[Kawi 800]

Did you run that threw your stock bildge line out thhe back? i had mine run that was but it was hard to move it up into my bracket

 

[Proformance1]

Very nice. I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. Now I finally understand why my cable is breaking.
