Before I lay down my genericly hard earned dollar on paint I wanted to see what you think. I want to paint my ski white, but I want it to last etc. My body man has a friend who paints boats in FL who suggested using this Awlgrip stuff. Its a marine epoxy paint, single stage. Supposed to be...

I'm piecing my ski together, and realized I don't have pump mount bolts. The thread size is M10 x 1.25 or 10mm fine thread. If I use chrome I will have to have a stack of washers or a spacer, because when my tray was laid down it was directly on top of the mounts. Ideally I would like...

I wrapped my shortened handle pole with Carbon fiber tonight. As it is with normal fiberglass, the texture of the fabric is extremely noticeable now that the resin has dried. I'm hoping to achieve that deep smooth gloss appearance that we all see on production parts, only because I love the...

Buddy asked me this today, and while I know I prefer the effects of a d cut plate, I didn't know how to properly answer the question. So here I am, asking ya'll.

To cut down on confusion, this will be the offical shirt/ hoodie design thread. Cast your vote here. Here are your choices, choose wisely LOL!!! Swapmeet's Jetski Do Good... (Could be done in any color. Red is just an example) Front Back Peter123 Colors Front Back Melmacks...

Last night I embarked on my first pump blue printing. Its a 144 SJ pump. I've knocked down most of the extra casting flaws etc and still have some finish sanding to do... But I've found a lot of pitting in the vanes and elsewhere on the stator. Its pretty much everywhere. Pics: If I...

I've seen different versions of this idea, i.e. riveted on metal plates etc. Talked with a seasoned vet about a chronic problem with the FX1. Dislodged hoods on failed rolls. Since I was already in a rough glass stage with the ski, I had an idea. I super glued 1/4" fiberglass rods to the...

Sorry for the random thread, but i'm a little concerned. So I mixed my 3:1 resin tonight, added Cabosil like Tom21 suggested to stick on my sponsons. Maybe its just me but this stuff takes forever to harden up. Its cold here, but i have a propane heater in my shop. Its probably 65-70 deg...

Alright, I have a ported 701 with FX1 B-pipe. About to add a Protec head that should yeild 175-180psi. It has a single SBN44 carb on it. When I last ran the motor it was running on the stock FX1 pump (~120mm) with what I believe is a stock prop. It ran great and other than having way too much...

I tried searching around, but haven't found anything helpful. Is there anyplace that I could buy a selection of Mukuni Jets for my SBN44? Its a pain to have to try a size, run it, realize its not right, order another one online, wait for it to arrive etc. For instance, what if I wanted to...

I bought a Pro Tec Head used, and I wanted to do a little bright work on the top before installing it. But I don't want to damage the domes. Before I go prying and screwing something up I figured i'd ask ya'll. I tried to un screw them but theres not much to push on etc, so no luck. Here is...

I bought a FX-1 hull with the big pump mod to seriously chop up, but in the middle of my research this ski was offered to me. Better to have the work done, and feel confidant that the work is better than I can do at a novice level. I picked up SuperJetBrett's "Raped FX1000" hull, minus the...

I don't have room for a standard waterbox on my ski, (chopped up FX1) so I purchased this. I know it's ridiculously small, but for right now it's what I have to work with. I'm planning on mounting it on the side near the carb, heading towards the back. I might (might) dump the exhaust out...

Does anyone have photos or details about why exactly the 08+ poles won't work the same? I understand that the steering cable is different, but is it something that can be adapted or is it so different that there is nothing you can do? I'm hunting for a 08+ and i've had 3 offers for a pre 08...

I have steering cable that I snapped the threaded end off of laying around. In the near future I'll be adding CATS to a ski and currently I don't have a cable. I was wondering if using the steering cable (after re-threading the one end) would be as good or better than some of the other...

Hey everyone, this could go anywhere but since it relates to a FX1 i'm building I figured i'd discuss it with you. I'm purchasing superjetbrett's FX1000 hull. The handle pole bracket it moved forward, but he was still running a pole much shorter than stock. I have a stock length AC pole that...

I tried the search function but couldn't find anything. I would like to attempt to build my own handle pole from scratch. I've seen them completed on the forum, but i can't find a build thread. I'd like to make an adjustable style one. Any suggestions or threads?

Alright, I'm buying a FX1 hull that has had the nose/ rocker shortened and reshaped. (Superjetbrett's Hull) I don't think the stock waterbox will fit because of the modification. So I have two questions: 1: Where would I find an aftermarket waterbox that is smaller than stock? 2: How...

Some of my buddies were planning a trip to Galveston-ish around this time to camp on the beach, ride etc... But since the Freeride is during the same time frame, were thinking about doing that instead. Is there any chance that people could camp anywhere near the freeride?

Anybody?
