Freedom Racing Thailand makes what appear to be quality pumps for all kinds of skis. I know some guys use them with success, but not sure how easy is is to get one here or what the cost is. I'd like to try one for sure. The solas pump is the same diameter as stock and only 3 additional veins, it...

I hit 59.XX on GPS with the Blowsion 5 fin grate a number of times on flat water last summer. This was in near perfect conditions with a full tank and I weighed about 10-15 lbs more. I'm not chasing top speed so I haven't done a ton of these runs or side by side comparisons. Mostly done out of...

Very cool. Who did the work on the pump? Is that mag section available for purchase somewhere for this mod?

I have tested the Riva, Blowsion 5 fin, Prowatercraft and Watercross of Texas intake grates. We don't have any surf here so I can't comment on that, but below is my assessment: Riva: An improvement over the stock grate, but not enough. It allows for higher speed as it isn't very aggressive...

Looking for a composite SXR Nose Piece. I believe Trinity use to make them. This is the nose piece with integrated front bumper. It looks like nobody makes them anymore so I'm curious if there's anything out there. Looks like the picture below, but I want the external fuel filler.

Haha...yeah, life gets in the way thats for sure. Been on the downward for a couple years now, feeling a lot better once I got my new hip. I was not able to do much for about a year or more.

I attended Harbor Beach this past weekend & raced for the first time in about 12 years or so. I raced the 4-stroke lites class on my superjet and had a great time! Great Lakes Watercross put on a great event. Saturday I stuck with my Prowatercraft intake grate, plate and sponsons. I struggled...

Good news! Yamaha warrantied my hood and replaced the whole thing. Part of the inner, black plastic hood was broken as well. Kudos to Yamaha for standing by their product and thanks to Macomb Powersports here in Michigan for getting me what I needed. I will glue this hood together to minimize...

Unhook your gas tank straps, unbolt the stator cover, pull the flywheel and you can swap the bendix with the motor in the ski. If your flywheel removal tool is too big, you may have to pull the motor. I have a large, short bolt that threads into the flywheel so there isn't a clearance issue. I...

That was Doc Coles ski and his sons raced it as well, Conrad & Cory, from 2006-2011 or 2012. Bummer to see it in that condition, I believe it was setup as a stock class ski back in the day. They had a few stock, limited and one superstock skis. The red superstock is for sale on marketplace on...

I have been testing different grates recently. The Blowsion 5 fin is a great all around intake grate with no braking affect. The WCOT grate has a braking affect and is awesome for running buoys, I like it a lot. I just put my Prowatercraft intake grate on and also enjoy it. It seems to have the...

While you CAN attach a tube/skier to most sit down PWC, the XPL is really not a great option for this given its seat and top deck design just wont allow for the proper modification you need. Coming from another Hydrostream enthusiast, I'd would not recommend attempting any modifications to the...

Yes, very odd. When I assembled it I got it really tight and had to loosen it a bit...but no such luck any more. I am going to take it apart soon and see if something is fishy, but I figured I'd see if anyone else has had the same issue before I tear into it. It is very odd, for sure. I'd be in...

It is as tight as it gets for a bearing setup.

A heads up for 4 stroke SJ owners: I got back in from a ride and noticed my hood was not sitting on the hull correctly. Turns out all of the clips on the right side, white panel of the hood are broken. It's a flimsy plastic design as most of us have noticed. I'm under warranty so I'll see if I...
