I believe his normal boat is a 785, stock stroke, w/ a Riva single intake w/ new style 49 Novi - at least that's what I've seen when I looked and talked to him at the rides! Good setup, makes me want to try it.........

BTW, that is a Riva single carb intake setup, using a 650 Kawasaki intake manifold bolted to an adapter plate. Likely already has aftermarket reeds in there!

62T cases, sometimes referred to as "Raider" cases. Or, 64X, same thing. Source your reeds as such, cages are same for 701/760 dual carb, although you now are running a single carb w/ adapter plate. XL700/GP760/96+ SJ/96 Blaster/Raider & Venture/etc. all use same cages and reeds. Many...

I usually space mine at around 12 or 14", you can make a rig by your shoreline w/ PT 2x4's or 2x6's, w/ either carpet or plastic sliders, and simply winch the ski up the bunks. Easy 1/2 day project and it keeps the ski secure!

I agree to some extent; I have rebuilt many 66E's and V's - but the failures can be prevented easily. Main problems on E's are the PV's, WaveEater clips solve that - main problem on V's is the rear oil line slippage, also very easy fix. I have never seen one fail that wasn't due to those 2...

Why avoid the PV motors, more power w/ good fuel economy is bad to you? Like to stick to WRIII's and be stuck in 1995?

It's no big deal to haul on a larger spaced trailer, sandwich a few 2x4's in there and you're ready to hit the road. Or, like has been said, usually adjusting the bunks is no problem! I'll help you out if we meet up!

Flushing is critical in salt, if you ride mostly in fresh you will be fine - flush kits are very easy to install/use, only a few minutes and it saves alot of corrosion down the road.

Where in the country are you located? I have a '95 SN here in NC, depending on location maybe we can work something out! Edit: Looks like you're by ATL, only ~3.5 hour drive from me!

LKN has ~530 miles of shoreline, if you can crowd it w/ standups that would be quite a feat!

Personally, I'd trim those sharp edges down so that you match the slope on the "control panel" part in front of the tray - smashing your forehead into those wouldn't be nice! Otherwise looks good!

Nicely packed, and fast shipping! Thanks for the great deal man!

Lovin it, we'll have to swap skis for a bit on LKN this year, I'd love to see how those sponsons perform! Hope that 650 hold up for you this summer, if it doesn't, we'll get you hooked up with at 701!

Lookin good man, I got that O-ring in the mail, thanks alot! I've got a Riva Powerbomb 48 carb that I don't think I'll be using, maybe we can work something out!!

I'd venture to say that nowhere in your ramblings was a "real" excuse as to why these guys had to wait so damn long for their stuff - all of it was your fault. The UPS thing is a half-ass one for sure, it's not their fault that you can't differentiate 2 UPS accounts from one another, or...

Me & Chris are in fo sho

Your best bang for the buck would probably be to go with a bigger single carb - i.e. the Wetjet setup (46 SBN w different intake) or some other larger single. I have a Wetjet 46 and a Riva Powerbomb 48, both will be available soon if you're interested.

Bought a motor from him, shipped quickly and great communication, great deal too! Packed in a sturdy box w/ 1/4" plywood in the bottom, and motor was secured to 2x4's so it wouldn't move. Thanks for the great deal man, and the packing job!

That is a good deal; I assume it's 62T cases, dual Mikuni 38's on a manifold, and a crank? Great deal if its clean. Putting 61X electronics on it is super simple, bolt your stator and flywheel on and you're good to go. Good luck!

Wow, those are some good looking jugs :veryhappy: What final bore size are you going with?
