Josh's 97 RN Surf Boat Build

[Aircraftsalz]

I'm thinking about a motor. Not sure what yet, Xscream motor, or buy a motor already built. Either way its going to get some Brap.

Just layed Carbon on my Caker FFH. Looks like silver/White Carbon. Should look killer with the new paint & white turf.

865 stock stroke X scream kit...come on man!

 

[ColeW]

love that black carbon
looks great

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Started going back together today. Here's some pictures of the Ski, going to add a few stickers.

Time to order some parts to finish it.

The hold and ski looks awesome..

that carbon overlay looks sick. :Banane01:

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Starting to come together. Got the Pole & pump back together. Ski weights 168 lbs (Pump, hood, pole, ride plate, midshaft).

The box of parts (Engine, Gas tank, Pipe, Water box, nut/bolts, ebox, etc) weights 111 lbs

So I'm at 279

I'm thinking it will be 295-300 lbs done with no fuel.

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Getting close, should be in the water tomorrow. Just need to finish some water lines, finish some turf on the rear.

Fired it up tonight!

308lbs with no fuel & heavy battery (Factory Yusa)

very very nice...

Gotta say riding surf with tubbies rocks! Boat runs great, sure not as much power as my 860cc ski! But a great riding ski, with Stock Ebox!

(MSD TL = less riding & more wrenching)!!!!!!!!

 

[McDog]

Love it. White turf looks awesome with that paint scheme. TL hasn't been much of a problem yet for me except for dropping a coil recently. If I rode slatwater it might be a different story.

How is the hood treating you. im still building my boat but bought the same hood. It looks like it will be awesome.


Ski came out Great!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Thanks guys, I love the white turf!

The hood is great for the price, mine was 14lbs. I would say its a dry hood, I rode the surf & was happy with the amount of water it took on after 5-6 stabs in a row. Can't beat that hood for the price & it looks killer!

MSD & Salt water don't mix well!

Its time this Ski gets some Teamscream love!

Here's some PICS of the 62T Bottom end, super clean motor.

The plan is to build a Stock Stroke 827 Xscream motor, New B limited Pipe, TBM Flywheel. Not sure on Carbs yet, either dual 46's by Xscream or dual 49 Full Specs.

Time for some power, this 701 Stuff Sucks! Stock 701 package going in the LPW Ski!

Bottom end ships tomorrow!:arms:

 

[Idok]

bastard!

your brothers will be happy though haha

bastard!

your brothers will be happy though haha

My brothers need to buy there own Ski's!

I'll let them ride the 701 powered Orange Ski!

This boat should rip with this new motor. It was light for a stock hull. Going to order the WDK steering this week, this is my new surf ski. Not sure the carbon ski will be good for surf.

Teamscream Rock's!:bananapowerslide: Can't wait!


I'm going to take this ski to them & let them do all the set up. Did that with my 860 motor & was very pleased!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Replaced my steering today. Ordered the complete RRP steering & bars from Thrust. I really like this set up, moved my bars another .75-1 in forward. Really smooth, a lot better set up than umi I had. (No more nut to come lose)!

Still gotta do some cutting on my pole pad. I had to trim my pole to clear the RRP knee pad.

Motor is at Teamscream, Talked to Radney this week. Should have it in a few weeks. Can't wait for some brap in this ski.

 

[Lucaumpits]

that look nasty
I'll try on sat
see u

Got my new Xscream 846 SS motor, b pipe, dual 46's by TS, Danger Boy couplers & flywheel cover, Set up for avgas ! Tuned by Xscream!

Motor just rips, when it hits, it hits hard & just keeps pulling! I got to work on hook up, it's spinning the prop on the bottom. Lucas is going to let me try his mag pump. Also might try a 15/20 skat.

This motor rocks!

Can't wait, this motor is going in a Rickter soon.
