I have this same vibration scenario with a ss Dasa and pfp. It's the same even with the pump removed. I rebuilt my midshaft and noticed a slight decrease in intensity, but not much. The vibration was less in my last hull that was substantially thicker so I'm blaming it on a paper thin carbon...

I use 1/2" self tapping screws to install fixed footholds. I then remove them after the epoxy cures and cover the holes with a layer of glass/carbon around the perimeter. Also I use a heat gun to help form the footholds closer to the shape of the hull to minimize the gaps. If the gaps are...

You could always bolt some stainless eyelets on the gunwales to mount some oars....

A lot of guys will use 3m 5200 ^^^ which takes days to cure, or an adhesive called plexus. Its a bit pricey and requires a special gun. The ingredients is nearly identical to permatex or devcon plastic welder. I've used the permatex plastic welder for a few pump shoes and haven't had any...

I think they just trademarked the name vortec and slapped that emblem on everything in the late 90's/ early 2000's. The 95-97 SS's had the original vortec intake worth 210hp. In 98 they switched to that spider injection pack with hoses and dropped to 190hp. It is the same system my wifes 2000...

Yes it is. Some people assume that the SS should have a v8. They actually come with the w code 4.3 from the 4x4 trucks and are automatic with no power options unless they were special ordered. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Since you guys snuck a few lowered trucks in, here's mine. 1998 S10 SS. It's been complete since in 01, except the sub box rebuild back in 2012. These days its a garage queen that hauls my skis to the ramp during riding season. In fact, it just turned 80k a few weeks ago. It's got full air...

I've been using the Vasque Lotic for last couple years. Only affordable water shoe I could find with good drainage and some traction. Once you kick in. you're in. Also more convenient than lacing up wrestling shoes...

Definately a gift basket with a bag of pretzels, beef jerkey, and maybe one of those neck donuts for the long ride home. Ya know, traveling goods. Donnie is right, he is a bit further away than myself. It's just cool that a small event can draw in people from many miles around.... See you all...

The Hammer Squad scooped up P6 and P8 this year. Is there a longest distance traveled award? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

You're right. I'll be wearing it as hell starts freezing over, watching you trying to land a flip. [emoji32] Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Yeah, we don't have any rides planned in October. We'll see how the weather holds up this fall. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

See everyone Saturday around noon. Just coming over day so no camp site for me. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I'll be in for a few Braaap's on saturday as long as you don't ride so close to guys telling them how nice their wetsuits look this time. [emoji186] Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I've been lurking on this thread and others like it for the last few years. When I set out to build my ski last year, the entire goal was to keep everything as light as possible. I tried a life battery in my last ski and it lasted half a summer before the internals got wet and started dropping...

Oh, now we're gonna start talking smack huh? You're really gonna school me on that 1990's prepped freestyle ski. Or wait, is it a race ski with footholds??? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I'm gonna head over there on Saturday with intentions to ride. Anyone know what the water temps at the warm end are going to be? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Here's a thought......If temps over 185 damage the chamber, what happens when guys run their skis in the garage or on shore with no water? Aren't dry exhaust temps near 1000?

Are any dates being thrown around for the 2016 event yet? Us midwestern folk need to get some vacation days approved at work to make it down.

I think he was going for a pt cruiser/ prowler look.
