    Taking on water under tray. Versiplugs?

    I refoamed with the pink polystyrene this spring and shortened my hull 2.5". I thought I did a good job of sealing everything up tight, but I installed drain plugs just in case. Anyway, I'm taking on water from somewhere and I can't figure out where. I think I may just install Versiplugs in...

    Super Jet Flyinb501's RN SJ shortened hull and defoam thread

    In addtion to the hull mods I'm also going to be installing a 771cc Dasa and an Xmetal trim. I'll start with some pictures from the paint job last year... And now on to the defoam and shortening. Lots of wet foam! I cut 2" off and avoided the ride plate...

    Sinking Superjet

    What’s up guys. My ski ('01 SJ) has been taking on a ton of water lately when it’s just floating, or pulled halfway up on shore. I spoke with my mechanic on the phone and he said he thinks it’s the drive shaft seal. He said he’d have to pull the motor to replace it, and I’m looking at a day’s...

    Porting + Type 4 dry pipe advice

    Hey guys, some friends from the boards recommended that I have my motor ported for some extra power. They recommended Team Scream in Fl. Sounded like a pretty good deal so I gave them a call today, and the guy I spoke with didn’t seem to know to much a about the dry pipe. He said he...

    What do I do?

    My friend and I have been installing our footholds the last couple days. They are in and we fiberglassed today. The problem is we never used 5200 to seal them in, and I just found out now that you're supposed to do this. What should we do now to ensure everything is water tight?

    Ready to give up...

    I don't know what the deal is with my ski. Two batteries have taken ********s on me in the last couple weeks. I put a new one in yesterday, and nothing. It just makes one click noise every time you hit the start button. What could be wrong. Is my starter bad, or what? I'm at my wits end...

    My week old battery already done?

    I just put in a new battery a week ago. I went to start my ski the night before we were going riding, and the ski was dead. I charged it over night. Half way through riding the next day, I crashed, went to start it again and the battery was dead. Why is my brand new battery draining so...

    Jetting question

    Hey guys I really know absolutely nothing when it comes to tuning, and jetting these things. I recently installed a factory type 4 dry pipe with ecwi, and a Riva head with 35 cc domes. Other than that I believe my engine is pretty much stock. When I bought the ski it had Tau Cetti filters, and...

    Unbelievable...

    I have had nothing but problems lately I tell ya. I've about had it with this thing. Last night my ski was running the best it has all year, and then today I head to the lake after work, drop it in, go to start it and nothin. Sounded like the starter was spinning but nothing was happening...

    Need some advice please

    So my ski kind of fell apart on me on the lake the other day. One of my air filters ripped, and I think some water got in there because the ski was bogging down, and then wouldn't start. Where do I pick up a new one for cheap? I have the older Tau Cetti ones. Also, after that dries out will...

    I need info on pipes! Please

    I've done my fair share of searching, but I'm not quite figuring it out. My buddy just got a factory b pipe on his new superjet, and it rips. Now I need to find myself one for my own sj. I think I'll try and get a used one. Anyway, what would be best for freestyle? Also, what is the...

    So how long? (Barrel roll content)

    I went out today for my third time, and I'm starting to get pretty comfortable on the ski. I was wondering how difficult and how long does it take to be able to pull of a barrel roll? Are they pretty dangerous to learn. I assume that it will take many times of not making it around. I think...
