passing the scripture as it was written by the ones before us.

first id like to be the first one to say it as it was so wisely said to me on my 550 project so here it is... "its not to late to give that ski back". second i have thread thats kinda all over the place but sounds like a similar setup when it comes to tuning the carb on your ski here is the...

this should be on the how to thread.

I suggest catching up on your CSI, Bones and Dexter. Remember to always pay in cash.

I second that. Alot of ignorant people. That said I did ride a new superjet and It was cool to ride, enough to where I would consider getting one at a decent price but definitely not before the V3 is built. I think personally it would be nice to relax a little bit on longer rides buts also...

Iv heard of guys buying the Arizona tea 1 gallon bottles for a reserve stuffed in a backsack. I imagine in that backsack, is included with a spare set of plugs and maybe some zipties and ducktape, maybe even some jb weld if ish gets real. I feel like if your riding in the surf your already on...

I was thinking when building this ski, ehh if I like the boat maybe I'll race the stock 550 class. My gut, forearm pump and tired body says it's not worth it bro. Hats off to the 550 riders. Different animal. I rode an fx1 all my life and even that didn't beat me up as bad as this 550.

So after getting beat up by my 550 all week. I'm no longer considering doing anything more with 550 hulls. I'm so fat and out of shape it's a damn chore just getting the boat out of the water and keeping it straight. Fun little boats but under no circumstances am i taking the thing for a long...

Because of pump tunnel?

Is it possible without serious reglassing?

Awesome. Just wondering as iv purchased one. Thanks.

Haha bro I just finished my first 550 rebuild top to bottom painted and everything. Was it amazing? No it's a 550. But damn she looks sexy and I learned so much that is not replaceable. I would actual suggest someone do up a 550 for there first project granted when they buy it, it has potential...

Listen, for a 1000 dollars and a pit bike I'd make the trade any day. You got a setup and a am hull fully set up. If you don't like it pretty up the hull and parts and sell it. You might be out the time it takes to make it nice but you'll get your money back. Life is about experience, good or...

Was running the low needle at 2 turns out for awhile and it would occasionally gurgle that would clear out with a little more pull on the throttle. I turned it 1/4 out and it got worse, so I screwed in a 1/2 and rode around for about 4 or 5 mins as low as I could to try and keep my fat @$$ out...

To what other ski?

Gangster

Only thing I havint nailed down perfectly is the off and onload. Since there is little room for a boat wench I used a 1000 pound come along raching wench. The come along is too small of a lead and again the scratching of the bottom of the ski is driving me nuts. The idea behind the stand is 2...

I may have screwed myself but I put a light bead of jbweld. I'm at the river for a week and if all I gotta do is mess with the carb after I'm done with all of this when I get home I'll be a happy camper.
