    Freestyle Need some advice on building a stroker motor

    The problem with doing it yourself on a budget is that you, more than likely, end up with a motor that costs way more than your standard 701, but has a power level not at all congruent With the increase in cost. And worst case, you will get he reliability of an eBay special to boot. I wish...

    Other Hand warmers and Cold weather.

    I don't believe you get pneumonia from being cold. I think it has to do with bacterial infections. :clown: I have used a drysuit and it is great at keeping you dry. Keeping warm is achieved by the clothes you wear under the drysuit. That said, I preferred a good wetsuit, personally. Cold...

    Super Jet Switching pump shoes??

    Remove the 155 shoe Put a 144 or 148 shoe in and bolt a pump and mid shaft in place That will align the shoe where it needs to be. Glue it in and fill any gaps with glue, epoxy, whatever, preferably with the rest of,the driveline bolted in

    Custom/Hybrid Insuring a Rickter??

    The only legal way I know of is to do a home-built registration. It's federally regulated but administered somewhat differently by all the states. I cannot give any advice on how it works in Florida, but in my state I just filled out a single form, submitted a bill of materials (receipts...

    Custom/Hybrid Insuring a Rickter??

    Maybe I wasn't 100% clear on this before, my apologies - "using the Superjet info" is very clearly very illegal and any policy written using that info for a ski other than that Superjet will result in a fraudulent policy that I'll never pay out, plus a fraudulent loan. I get it, you want a loan...

    Custom/Hybrid Insuring a Rickter??

    Didn't the for sale thread for your Superjet hull imply that you were keeping the Superjet title and HIN for your Rickter? http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/141841-2003-Superjet&highlight= [/COLOR] Maybe I am wrong about that and/or you went through the motions of getting that Rickter legally...

    Super Jet ? About 701 sj exhaust and mani

    Far as I know, the angle of the manifold/headpipe interface is different and it will not work. FYI, in Superjet world, $500 IS a budget pipe.

    Custom/Hybrid Aftermarket Hull Registration and HIN Talk

    It used to be that way in WA, but was changed about a decade ago. Sales/use tax when you buy, then it's roughly $22 every year

    Depends on the state. If your state has sales/use tax, probably yes.

    Super Jet ? The coldest water temp you can ride

    Jetworks quick-disconnect cooling restrictors. They use inserts of different sizes. As far as telling temperature, no thermometer needed if you use hand-warmers (and you should). If it's too cold to keep your hands warm, it's not restricted enough. If it's too hot on your hands, it's too hot.

    Super Jet ? The coldest water temp you can ride

    You will need to restrict the cooling water exits on the engine to ensure the block is not over-cooled. For two engines I used to have, this meant restricting each of the two head outlets to 2mm diameter. The goal is to have the cooling water exiting the head at 100 degrees or above. That's...

    Custom/Hybrid Rickter vs superfreak..

    Test-ride whatever you are considering in the water conditions you'll be riding in. All other 'research' that doesn't involve riding it yourself is nearly useless. Sounds like you tried the FS2 and liked it. They can be had for less money now that the EVO1 hull generation is out.

    Custom/Hybrid 155 Pump Questions

    Oops, I thought it was a Superjet. If it fits, try it out. You'll need a very low pitched impeller. I don't think you'll notice a hookup difference.

    Custom/Hybrid 155 Pump Questions

    No, you'd have an OEM pump, not a mag pump. Bigger OEM != mag pump How so? Unless someone modified that SJ, a 155 will not fit.

    Custom/Hybrid Getting new ski need help deciding. Rickter FR2 or 2014 superjet

    Point remains, the 08 and up pump will bolt into any SJ and any a/m hull that takes any SJ pump.
