I will take one, Paypal?

I'm looking for a UMI system for a 2000 model WB800 / Waveblaster 3. If you don't have one can you tell me which one fits, as in a part number? I'm in need of some help guys and I'm hitting dead ends. I know these things are more common out of the USA so who can help a racer out? You can call me...

With your experience you would probably be hoping to get discounts on industry products. Anything out of Industry is a free for all, you never know........

You will need a 1100 donor with electrics complete engine intake and exhaust as well as 3 carbs. For the conversion you will need a waterbox, midshaft, and bedplate.

I have been waiting on a price for a fatbar conversion for the UMI, did you ever get a price together?

No, definitely no wood in any of the Blasters I have seen over the years, and thats quite a few. The assembly line is always very generous with the 2 part bonding agent used although Yamaha has gotten pretty tight on their hulls since the Nano technology.

Zimmy, I actually had full intentions of building the back from scratch but after a little consideration I figured why not use the original. Of coarse I can overlay it for strength if needed but as long as I get a good strong bond on the sides it should all be good. I always like...

depends on condition, in perfect shape yes otherwise that is too high

So, I used the original back to go back on the boat. For the ride plate mounts I cut and ground the OEM off and used 3/8" Aluminum flat bar that will be drilled and tapped where ever I choose the mounts to be. I have been trying to keep this very simple and easy so anyone can copy this work...

Made some progress today, been working on race boats had to take some time off

With the way the HX handles the water I would say your time would be better spent else where. You would just have to do way to many hull mods for it to be worth it. The HX hull is made to cut the water not ride on top of the chop. Great for racing, although a little boring compared to Blasters...

After speaking with Zimmy I am having 2nd thoughts about the taper on the bottom of the hull. Currently I am looking at around 85" total length on the ski. Although the length will not change the taper would have a effect on drop off in which a longer plate could correct. I have briefly touched...

Thanks, I will give him a shout. At this point though I'm pretty committed on the rear chop. The Aussies seem to have alot of these done and most are shortened so I feel that the short hull will be ok. My main concern at this point is deciding on whether to run a 1100 or the 785 superstock...

And Shazaam!

Today I made the A** drop..... Spent about 45 min on it today. Got the 3.5 off all around and trimmed up the foam. Will do the taper tomorrow. Here are the pics...
