Yeah my plan was to try and find a decent 650sx for 1000 bucks or so but I'm starting to realize I will be way better off putting a grand into building 300sx. My Js550 out runs my friends limited 650 anyways but i got a lot of motor work

I got a couple other 550's that run rode them last week (it was cold ordered a wet suit the next day) plan on having the sx done by summer. Prob go with the 650 pump since I have it and I think I'm gonna take the 300 out a couple times before i cut into it. I didn't realize that the sx haul...

Man you guys are killing me the original plan was to slap my 550 motor in my sx hull over the weekend and ride it. Not butcher the thing into a Frankenstein project. I would imagine its not to easy to come up on a 750 pump and hull on the cheap but I don't want to do it twice. Just for...

good to know but now I am so far away from the original plan of pulling my js motor and slapping it in the sx in a weekend so now I would need a 750 hull to cut up and a 750 pump? I got a x2 and pump and I would imagine a 750 pump and haul aren't nearly as easy to come by as a 650

when i set up the motor and pump will i want to push it back as far as possible? I don't see my self ever pulling off a back flip but I do want to build this thing to get as much air as possible. I don't want to carve booeys or ride on my hood Just want to build a ski I can jump as hi and far...

Yeah I've been reading all of them trying to learn as fast as possible. Cutting is nothing new to me do a lot of work on custom rock crawlers just normally use a plasma cuter and welder i have never played with glass before. Probably gonna recruit someone to help me with the glass work.

keep in mind I am just trying to upgrade from my old js hull not trying to build some the baddest freestyle back flip ski on the water. So i guess ill go chop up the x2 pull the pump flip my sx upside down and stare at them both for a while

good to know I appreciate the info is a x2 pump and a 650 pump the same?

The guy I bought my 550 from said the pump is "fully built" What ever that means I know the prop isn't stock but i don't know what else if anything has been done. I could get a x2 hull with the pump in it for free if its worth it but i would imagine that i wouldn't be able to just cut the pump...

You will never get good results with the 440 style pump, I chased and chased my tail for years trying to make that pump work, if you are not willing to do at least a 550 pump swap just leave the 300 in it and ride, it will probably work better. Well that kinda sucks to hear. I do plan on...

I was planing on running the 300 pump with a lager prop for now. I know this is retarded but I'm trying to get it running asap and keep in mind I'm so new to the sport I wont know what I'm missing out on. So to run the 550 motor to the 300 pump will i still need the zxi shaft.

Thanks man really appreciate the help I think i got a lot to learn before I cut a pump housing out and try to glass a new one in.

I know I will need to reinforce the hull but i would like to get the motor in and running with the stock pump first take it out for a couple test rides before I tear it all down for paint and glass work

Thanks I read your entire build thread pics were kinda hard to make out though. Is a new shaft mandatory? and will i have to do any machine work the 900zxi shaft. Planed on ditching the rear exhaust just for simplicity. I am trying to keep glass work and fab work to a minimum

where are you at

How hard is the surf on a stock hull I got a couple 550's and just picked up a 300sx I'm gonna swap bigger motor into will they get crushed?

I've been there every day I could since last June been seeing a lot more rangers and police out there

Nice! But I really Cant stress the word amateur enough guess it would give everyone something to laugh at and make them feel beter

Oh by the way I'm just outside Temecula me and my cousin go to the back side of canyon lake about once a week If any ones down (punk ass kids D bags or any one that liters are NOT WELCOME!! we got a good thing there and don't want to get shut down)

Are amateurs welcome? I'm really down to get my ass kicked by the surf and I live about 45 minutes from O side
