Bringing this back from the dead. looking for any more first hand rider reports of the xfr. Have my eyes on a xfr textreme build. Will be doing mostly flat water. Iv been doing some reading and it having a xfs layup, would tell me it will perform like a xfs but has a larger tray because of the...
For a beginner ski you'll want a "stable" ski so your not constantly fighting it to stay up right.
Most rickters are super stable but pricey
Trixstars and very stable and light( full carbon)
Superfreaks
Nice thing about the full carbon skis is you don't need crazy money in a motor and pump...
I love my 2013. Iv heard from different people that the newer hulls don't ride as good, but others say they ride better. Not sure what to think. Either way there both top notch!

Unfortuanlly don't have the tools handy to do a leak down. Test or else I would. The liquid That's behind the fly wheel cover is a swamp water smell and has zero smell of fuel or oil. At this point all I can do is pray and on the off season do a tear down and confirm it's not the seals

I ended up switching front covers on the starters to the double o ring one. Cleaned up all surfaces good and installed with gasket maker on the surface that touches up against the engine case. Along with marine grease on the o rings. If water gets in somewhere now it has to be coming from the...
Great, that was my next question. I'll swap fronts to finish off the season and get a rebuilt oem from you on the off season.

Thanks man, the previous owner that built the ski sure took pride in this build!
I pulled the starter last night and noticed the o ring was broken. So that sure doesn't help anything. I have a spare starter that is broken and I compared the 2 to find out the nose of the starter is different...
I have a spare fly wheel gasket. I will defiantly try running both now with grease on them. Possible it's coming in by the starter? Should it be removed and inspected?

Been chasing this gremmlin for a month now. I thought I was getting water in the engine. Well after many failed attempts at keeping water out of the stator area, I'm starting to think my "water digestion" is water on my pick ups? Is this a thing? I'm thinking this would cause issues with...
You need a spacer for the B pipe manifold to clear the power valves. Or at the very least you have to grind down your B pipe to clear it. Not sure how they run, I know you'll be losing some serious power switching from a lay down to a B pipe tho

That's terrible news... hope he has a speedy recovery and gets back on a ski! My RRP pole came apart on me mid flip today. That sure was a scary one !

That was my issue. But the cylinder never changed. The wet jet is the same motor as a superjet so I'm positive the cooling ports are the same. But you never know. And as for re using the gasket. There was no signs of wear or anything with the old gasket. Pretty confident in re using it. I'm...
