Yep, we got a room close by.

I just double checked to make sure it wasn't april 1st again. If you don't bring it to Guntersville this weekend, I'll just assume you're not my friend anymore.

Js550 motor will work great with a bread box exhaust. Definitely keep your 440 pump. That was the preferred pump back then. 90 was the first year of sx hull and rear exhaust. The reed 550 motor came a year later. All 440s have that bulkhead bearing.

VForce 3 does sandwich. Vf2 no. Those will likely flatten out when you bolt them down. Heat them up a bit with a heat gun before and it may help them take shape. A little 1211 on the reed cage gasket wouldn't hurt either.

quit talking sh:+!! Why aren't you in topsail? Scott better be on his way too. I would put money on the f/a covers outlasting the flame arrestors.

Humans were much more athletic 30yr ago.

Dang man. Hope your friend is OK. Seeing this pic gave me flashbacks.

Dude. Reading isn't your strong point is it? His ski is white. Top and bottom. All the new superjets are.

If only there was a pre thickened, high strength epoxy that was already tinted white for around $20.....

Sounds like weak spark.. losing spark under compression. Do an ohm test on your stator. Also check for continuity between the plug wires. Should be around 5k ohms. Open would mean bad. Should be able to find plenty 550 stators and cdis out your way. Make sure your grounds are good and that...

You told him to get black gelcoat to do a white repair? Lol To me, marine-tex is perfect for small chips like this.

Marine-tex white and be done.

Not sure but it looks like an SXR hood opening. My old backie chan matched up with one pretty good. Could modify the front to match your hull or a lowered sxr hood may work.

Saw dude on FB looking for a gasket in atl last night. He's probably riding it now.

I sent him a pic of an SXR and made a statement about handling mods. He took the bait and calls a few minutes later..... about 10 minutes into our conversation I said "you sure don't sound like someone who isn't interested in jetskis anymore."

XFR would be a good choice. T1 as well. DAG has a nice T1 priced to sell.

This guy made it happen on a 550 at Pismo last weekend. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/ft81X6GB1PCGThmk/?mibextid=oFDknk

Your best bet is have competitive crankshaft rebuild yours... if you really need it. Rod play in the direction you are showing doesn't mean much. Pull up n down on the rod , not side to side. Are the bearings turning smooth? Looks pretty clean for a 550 crank.

My fx1 weighs 300#. Has a stock stroke motor and 144 pump. No ecwi. Wax chamber works very well imo.
