I would guess if anything the sound of the motor can/will/would attract sharks who were curious as to what the unnatural sound is they hear in the water. Obviously when we ride and play in the surf we are right in prime food hunting territory for sharks. We have shark bites every year in NSB...

maiden voyage Well today was the day. Dropped it in the water and away she went and it ran great! I do still have some tuning to do. I noticed after a short wide open run the throttle was quite sluggish and would clear up after a second or so. I also noticed that the front nose piece was...

first start failed Well I finished assembling everything and to my dismay when I finally hit the starting button nothing... figures. I took apart the ebox to check for something obvious and didn't see anything. I finally narrowed it down to a bad starter sucks cause I ended up ripping out the...

right side up So I got that old stock impeller off OMG it only took a bench vise, 25" breaker bar + 2' cheater bar and MAP gas heat to get it off LOL. I found fishing line wedged in there when I finally got it free. Either way the pump is now on and shimmed dead center on the mid shaft hole...

pump Well I scored a pretty cherry stock superjet pump cheap on fleabay so for now I have abandon trying to rebuild the other one. Once I get the junk stock impeller out I am going to put in a 12/17 skat trak swirl and I guess just use this stainless wear ring although I am not sure that is a...

Got my pumpshoe installed My aluminum pump shoe from snowxr came in the mail today GREAT looking piece! I ordered it right off his website www.xr-tech.com very reasonable prices I might add. I used 5200 marine glue to secure it to the hull along with the 4 screws. Once the glue dries I can put...

few more pics So I got my new crank from getwet76 last night (thanks bro) and installed it this afternoon. The old crank bearings are pretty well frozen up now that it is dried out... total waste. I am waiting on a pump shoe to come in the mail so I can install that and then I can flip the...

wow COOL!

So my first thought is I Just want to get this boat back in the water before the water cools off so my plan is to just do the things necessary to get it running again and worry about pretty later (hopefully before daytona 2012). First order of business was pulling the motor, pump, and mid...

A stock RN water box fits/works nicely in the SN hull.

I am running the same jetting as with factory pipe recommended for the B pipe. I had trouble finding any concrete specs for that pipe too so I just did this and did plug checks and its perfect for me. I am running 61x 701 MSD enhancer and Riva freeride dry pipe, (same as type 4), RN waterbox...

Thanks guys! I am just about done with the turf now, only need to finish the nose piece. Doing the footholds SUCKS but I think Ive got it pretty good. I ride on lake conway most of the time and also out at ponce inlet. Not sure if I will make it on the water this weekend or not still waiting...

LOL it does look like primer in color but not the shine, I had a hard time deciding on color and didnt want black or white or something crazy. I decided gray was perfect for my taste. =D Thanks!

Getting so close now I decided I would go ahead and post up some pictures of my build. Started with a 90 Square nose hull+hood+pole. Bare bones as it comes... I think he left me the e-box mounts and thats it. =\ Anyway I found a donor 94 waverunner 701 and started with that. Got all the...
