    Columbia Riding - this time with more wake

    Friend of mine got his wakeboard boat out with 2,400lbs of ballast. :arms: Water is getting better, about 44 degrees today. Some of these rolls look funny because I set my trim ring to the up position. I don't have a trim setup, but I have a trim ring - similar to the 08+ Superjets. I...

    Think again.

    More winter freestyle fail

    These pictures are actually from three weekends ago, when it was still cold and dreary. I went out today in sun shine, 62 degrees, and a balmy 43 degrees water. Summer is coming! Anyways, I've been riding by myself these last few times. Yeah, I suck. I could't get all the way around for...

    ATP Flame Total Loss Review

    I've had this system for a while now and figured it's time I write up a quick review. I bought this last summer from Wattage for a very good price. It was practically brand-new. Installation is pretty simple. You remove the stock stator and flywheel. You are supposed to cut the wiring...

    Intake grate wear and tear

    I pulled off my intake grate today for inspection. I have had this grate on there since 2005. It's starting to look a bit rough. I also have a piece of pump shoe missing, not sure if that's an issue. Opinions?

    Anyone using a Sato Engineering Steering Nozzle?

    Is anyone using one of these? What's your review? How does it compare to stock? I am really trying to get a Skat Trak reduction nozzle to work with my mag pump. The taper is too steep for a stock steering nozzle to bolt up without a trim ring. The SE Nozzle seems to bolt right up to the...

    Metal pump shoe advantage?

    What is the advantage of using a metal pump shoe? I am aware of the fragile nature of the stock plastic shoe. Are there any other upsides to the metal shoes?

    Randy/Watcon = awesome

    Randy often doesn't get the publicity he deserves as a true veteran in the Standup watercraft business. My budyy Mike and I spent all day Saturday at the Watcon shop deep in the woods of the Olympic peninsula. Randy invited us out for a little carb tuning workshop and a fun day. His shop is...

    Jetworks - Once again, excellent service

    Thumbs up to Art & Robert at Jetworks. Both of them go above and beyond to put up with me. :biggrin: I bought a used mag pump and had it shipped directly to Jetworks to have them rebuild it and set up the whole pump package for my ski. Both Art and Robert worked hard to get it all done so that...

    Jetskiers , nothing but trouble

    A few of us in the Northwest had a ride in July at a small reservoir with a campground. Link: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/58061&highlight=scooteney A few weeks after the ride, Dayton got a letter by the Department of Interior. See attached picture. I might add here that the park guy...

    Flatwater mag pump advantages?

    Are there any benefits to going with a mag pump on flatwater? My boat doesn't hook up very well in turns. Would a mag pump cure this? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Driveshaft carnage

    Happened while I was riding today. All of a sudden I didn't go anywhere. I thought I had stripped the splines. When I unbolted the pump, it just about smashed my face in. At that point I realized something was off.

    More winter riding & snow shoveling

    My buddy Mike and me went for a little New Year's ride today. The weather was nice initially, sun shine & 40 degrees. It turned dark and gray later, though. That's why some of the later pictures look like ass. (Wrong mode, 1600 ISO, etc). Water was about 35-40, hard to say exactly. First...

    WDK Diablo hood liner repair?

    I am having an issue with my Waterdawg Diablo hood. The liner is starting to separate from the shell. I know this is a common problem. How have people fixed this, and what has held up the best?

    Riding Stiff

    Some more pics of winter riding. It was about 25 degrees today, with the water at maybe 33. Things started icing over pretty quickly. That was cool at first, then dangerous. My throttle cable froze WOT a few times. On top of that, I noticed that the kill switch was also frozen and staying...
