This is a tech tip for beginner riders that have just bought a sit down..
Dustin will out ride every single person that has commented on this thread on any type of watercraft you choose.
Use a 550 tank with the press in fittings and fuel tank pickups from CF:

The kart tank style fittings rust and discolor the tank.
I loved my Q8 in the surf.
they are light as phuck and turn pretty good too... seadoo engine. been around for years on the Euro tour.
Zappata himself used to ride a 4 cylinder 2 stroke (bolted 2 1050 seadoo motors together) then he moved on to a V8 4 stroke and i think his on a supercharged v6 now. (sitdown)
Laserman on ozfreeride.com made one out of an otterbox simlar to yours for his total loss on 1000cc XFS.. its the cleanest EBOX i've ever seen.
He also has diagnostic LED for each component in the box so its an easy change out... the guy as an electrical engineering freak.
Its a great hull in the surf..
If you guys are saying that this surf is big for you, you should see what kind of size we get.
This was a pretty big day.
Took a buddy out to take some stills this weekend.. Tiny surf but the solid and smooth power of the Kawasaki power plant driving up the face still let me get some height on a few.
Been riding on it probably 5-6 times now and the first time I rode it was the first time I flipped.
The last photo...
If you can get that dry pipe running clean it will make better power than any dry pipe will.. I would run it.
As for the bondline glue in the hull... I would waste your time, i spent 8 hours doing 2 race boats we removed about 2lbs of glue from each of them... just go to the bathroom before...
Is anybody else having issues accessing the jetskisolutions.com website?
Can anyone give me an email for someone at JSS so I can get a quote on an ebox overhaul.
Thanks.
Thanks guys.
I'd also like to add that the Q8 is amazingly water tight and DOES NOT leak around the hood seal at all... I run Tau Ceti arrestors, partly because stock is ugly and secondly because im too lazy to find a stock setup, and I have not had on case of mid ride water injestion...
