yes i would definately block it off somehow. i always thought that it was the sudden rush of water that actually ruptured it, but my doctor informed me that it's actually the air that gets caught between your eardrum and the water that has nowhere to go but in. so actually, the smaller the...

yea i did that. i have some hydro turf underpad stuff in there, but the problem was the impact was kind of forward as well as to the side, so the water must've just creeped up the front and SMASH. needless to say, i'm probably going to have to go for a full face that has the entire side of the...

Well i ruptured the damn thing again. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: went up for a roll on a big ass wakeboard boat wake, and came down right on the ear. it's the same ear as last year, and this time i had my helmet on. i guess i need something with...

yep i'm running 50/50. i got the dome a while ago, you haven't gotten the check yet!? i sent it out at the beginning of the week, i wonder what's going on. let me know if you haven't gotten it by like monday, so i can get you another one or something.

anyone else have some opinions on this? it's getting nice and i'd like to ride, but not if this is a major problem/issue.

the pistons look fine, no pitting or anything like that. i'm running around 180 compression with whatever advance the msd enhancer provides. i just took a look at the rear cylinder, and right where that lean spot on the piston is, the cylinder is mirror smooth, no crosshatch. it's only a...

I pulled the head today to change the domes, and the pistons look like this. i'm not sure exactly what they're supposed to look like since this is the first time i've pulled the head without the motor being blown. what's with the white/silver specs on the top of the pistons? the ski runs...

i wouldn't doubt it. it took me pretty long to resurface, but luckily i was in 50ft of water.

:lmao:

oh i know i'm so mad nobody was filming that. the people on the boat sure did sh*t their pants though, they circled back and were yelling like oh my god are you okay!?

well i have. i was just messing around like i always do behind a boat while trying to get to the other side of the lake, i was goin just about full throttle, hittin the waves, and pulling up the footholds a little to get the ski flat. well, i brought them up a little too high and it shot...

i got mine at atlanticjetsports.com and looked everywhere else first. their's was the best deal by far. it was almost $100 cheaper than ada's list price. removable domes for sure. i just had a screw go through my engine and all i head to buy was a new dome instead of a whole new head...

i'm sure he'd do it if you asked, he just doesn't offer it prolly because it's hard to come by and has no benefits over prepreg fiberglass.

that quote that jeff gave me was for a glass one. this is probably glass too. arguably, the right kind of glass is just as strong if not stronger than carbon fiber (has some flex to it) the problem has been that fiberglass is much heavier than carbon. with prepreg, it brings the weight down...

i don't know how much tom payed, but jeff told me it'd cost me about 6000-8000 depending on what i wanted.

i'm not positive but i think it's stronger than most if not all surf hulls, because it's prepreg. i'm pretty sure there aren't very many prepregs out there.

i just get people that say "i just bought a 'brand new' 550 for my son" and want to know how to make it as fast as mine :biggrin:

lol well i think i'd go ahead and keep the x-jet till the REV arrived.

wow i just stumbled across this thread. that ski is crazy awesome. i wonder if i sold my x-jet hull and bought one of these, how much the difference would be. hmmmmmmmmm..........

anyone get this britech stuff yet? i'm in need of a new seal and wanting to go with this stuff, but i don't know if it works or which style to go with?
