I bet he took a lot of that memory loss medicine after the Iowa game last year. ESPN has a really in-depth article about the entire situation. Point blank, dude is a complete douche and should have lost his job along with the AD. Make no mistake about it, if his record was .500 over the last...

If you are going the 1100 conversion, then definitely go 144 on the pump. Seeing that the triple conversions have way more torque than twins, the more water volume you can get in front of the prop, the better. I’d go option c, but it will be expensive. Custom driveshafts are high dollar. To...

You can run the JC set back, you would just need to have a driveshaft made. It would essentially be a 3 niche set back (2 with the JC kit and 1 with the set back pump). IMO, I’d go set back 140, but you’ll probably find a 144 much easier. Chris Haggest is ProWatercraft Racing -...

Skat pumps...... you get what you over pay for. Solas is a great value, but they don’t like high rpm running and eat bearings. I’ve had 5 that ate bearings. And, I would guess that there are very few people who have put together as many pumps as we have over the years. I had two of them...

If you like the way the SXR handles in stock form, the trinity is a great option. It is basically the same design with a longer intake tunnel that weighs a bunch less. That weight loss makes the ski a lot more ‘fun’ in terms of playing. If youa re willing to try something different, the...

Still one of the coolest builds ever. SM

You can set up the kawi 1100 with the non cv stock keihin carbs and it isn’t bad on fuel economy. Not a whole lot worse than my race twins with dual 48s. Contrary to popular belief, the stock keihins work surprisingly good, especially if you prop the ski right. The extra weight does take some...

If you search Billy Dearman on FB, he has both. Scottie

I sent him a message on his Facebook page directing him to this thread. I would message him there: Rusty Geweke No, the wammerjet was a project they worked on that was larger than the blaster, closer to the size of a blaster 2 and it used a Weber/hydro motor. The hull I was talking about is...

Bullett has been making the blaster hulls for a few years. Quite a few of them out there. Their website is long overdo for an update, lol, but the skis are available, all you have to do is contact Rusty. Macc won a couple of titles on his Bullett WB. Also, Wamilton's Customs has a blaster...

Great article on how to get into racing the absolute least expensive way. But, sport spec hasn't been around since the 90s, lol. First official sport spec race was in 09. Scottie

^^^ tried to get something like that passed with both the IJSBA and AJ and never could get any traction. Also tried with an 800/1100 open spec runabout class. IMO, that would have been huge, but again, couldn't get the powers that be to show any interest. It's tough, there are already too...

That's because someone who knew what the fcuk they were doing, designed the class..... :) IMO, sport spec is still the most competitive class out there, especially when you consider how affordable the class is compared to most these days.. SM

It's going to be a small runabout themed ski with a pole. Nothing like you guys are hoping. SM

I'd LOVE to do one, no doubt, but in order to build one, you first have to buy the ski from Yamaha for the engine and elecs. They won't sell just the motor. SO, you are 8-9k invested before you even start. That's IF you have a blaster to start with. Don't get me wrong, it would be a...

You cannot order just the motor. You have to buy the actual ski and pull the parts you need - motor, elecs, harnesses. There will be stand ups and blasters with these motors in them by next season for sure. With 8 lbs of boost, they are already getting near mid 70s for speeds with the stand...

Definitely some good stuff, but I have gotten just as good results using the Turtle Wax rubbing compound and polishing compound for a lot less. And, I forgot one step to my post earlier, when you are done with all the wetsanding, polishing, etc. put a really good coat of wax on it and do it...

Guess I could have actually answered the original question, lol. For me, I always wet sand with 1500, then 2000 grit, then hit with a medium buff compound and then polish with polishing finish coat and polishing pad on my electric buffer. Gel is extremely durable, so you can really hit it with...

Don't know about Canada, but every blaster I have owned (7 different skis) has had a fiberglass top deck with gel coat, not smc. The hoods are and without gel, that's why they constantly chip. The only things smc on a blaster hull/too deck are the inner liner and bulk head. We often cut the...

Not all Yamaha ones do, we have one that is Solas based. SM
