@kwakhead never in my life... im ordering my stuff from us composites tonight and ill start glassing asap. Well see how it goes...

anyone have thoughts on going to a full out flat deck? I feel like it would ride a lot better in terms of where you can put your feel and would just give the rider more freedom all around. Im going to put footstraps on it...so it will end up looking like the pics below. I really like the way...

@crazy4sand great build! is that a Kevlar wrap? and where did the majority of the shortening come from? the back or the front? Id love to do something like this eventually but it seems expensive

Built a wakeboard winch and rode a little bit with @kswiatk but now im back to work on the jet ski. Still not sure what im going to do in terms of the pump...id take the 650 pump over a 550 any day....money is the only thing im concerned about. Glassing in a 650 pump seems rather risky...

http://lg1designs.com/JET%20SKI%20graphics.htm Its gonna be expensive but they sell full body wraps as well as some vinyl stickers that only partially cover the ski.

@kwakhead What if I were to cut the bottom out of my 750xi sport instead? Keep in mind its a sit down ski, but I would have a bigger pump and everything would fit the engine I'm running because that came out of there too. Id rather not spend the money if I already have the resources...problem is...

But more importantly.. if I am planning on installing a trim system how in the world do you install the trim cable? Am I going to have to cut the top deck off in order to route it from the bulkhead to the pump cavity?

Build in progress but going well. Does anyone ever turf their splash guard on a 550?

Wanting to buy a new 550 pump, nozzle (for trim), and impeller. Let me know if you are selling. Also if im running a 750 engine what pitch prop should i go with?

Ive been stripping paint on this thing for about two weeks using a heat gun and a stripping knife. I know people say this is not the way to go, but truth is theyre wrong. Ive done the whole ski like this and its quicker and beats gumming up your orbital sander with paint gunk. Anyway, here is...

@kwakhead I've got a west coast pipe and water box if you want them. Could probably get some small parts out of my xi sport (donor ski) but those aren't exactly top of the line parts haha. Could also pull some parts out of the 550 engine..but most of it is shot. Send me a list of what you want...

im a highschool sophomore too and am about 2 weeks into my 550 750 conversion. Anyway where in the world are you getting skis for that cheap? that's incredible! I paid $100 for a toasted 550 and I thought that was a good deal...

I recently bought a beat up 550 and a 750 xi sport donor ski on craigslist. The 550 engine was in pieces, but now I have a ton of 550 aftermarkets from the ski.. all of which must sell. I only wanted the 550 for the hull itself. My goal is to build a budget freestyle ski and I am looking to...
