What does this do? The Square I am working on right now had it. I managed to pry it out of there, and it was a heavy & thick son of a bitch. What's the purpose?

So....another Squarenose buildup thread. I pieced this ski together a bit more than a year ago. I had already built my Roundnose and was looking for a second ski. I bought the Hull from boardmember Talsivar. I purchased the entire rest of the ski - minus hull - from the whore. (Butch)...

So....I keep hearing that Yamaha marks their cylinders with two digits to mark how well the sleeve lines up with the casting. Supposedly, "00" cylinders are the best match. Out of curiousity: Has this "double zero" rumor ever been confirmed with facts? I keep hearing this, but I've never...

Some pictures of Phill trying out my drysuit. On my ski. Air was 45 or so and water was 45. Comfortable in the drysuit, other than heads & fingers. I need to route some handwarmers.

Wahoo asked me about Tubbies in conjunction with a front exhaust. I couldn't figure out how to send pics via PM, so it's getting its own thread. I talked with Mark at BLowsion about installing tubbies with a front exhaust. He said to just cut the front of that tubbie to fit the exhaust...

I admit, I am turning softer - last year I did this with a wetsuit. Tomorrow I'll be taking my drysuit for a spin. I've never worn one before. I just got done replacing the neck seal. That wasn't too bad of a job. If I can manange to pull that seal over my big noggin tomorrow, I'll be in...

I am a bit confused. I bought myself a 13/18 Skat Swirl from a board member. Then I bought another Skat Swirl (14/19). When I put them side by side, the 14/19 has a taller hub. The blade height is the same for both. However, the 14/19 has more hub above the blades. Additionally...

Right now I am running a single hole. Over the winter, I will seal it, reinforce, cut two holes, and go that route.

I've been practicing rolls for a few weeks now. Every time I've gone out I've learned something and improved a tiny bit. I had some small rotation issues to work out, but: the biggest problem that was keeping me from rolling was my setup wake and consequently, height. People kept telling...

So I ordered footholds from Jeff about a week ago. He said he'd ship em out and let me know the total. Cool, I figured I'd pay him sometime in the winter time (hopefully!). Jeff, I apologize for thinking that way. The UPS man delivered a package today with two very nice, big, pink...

So....I bent up my 13/16 Concord a few weeks back. While it's getting fixed at Impros, I put in a Skat 14.5/18.5 (some racing prop I had laying around) in there. To my surprise, it wasn't all that different than the Concord. Then I bought a Skat Swirl 13/18 from Bonzai Bob. I installed that...

So...I have been running a stock rideplate ever since I started riding Superjets. It's been nice, no complaints, really. Now I just found a crack or two in my current stocker. Obviously, it is only a question of time when it will fold into being garbage. I have been meaning to try out the...

LOL

Not sure where else to put this...just some fun pics from this Labor Day weekend. In attendance: Phill (blue Square, helmet), Brian (On my roundnose), and Scott (hood riding my roundnose)

Weight Distribution and MORE speed It has probably been mentioned here before but the reason we run faster with LESS gas is not necessarily because the boat weighs less but because the...

Yo!

Found in a local rag: The thought of spending damn near $2k on a 550 is mind-boggling. :boggled: Then I asked myself who the hell Steve Roundy is. Who is this pro-builder I have not heard of? A google search reveals a local Kawi dealership. :boggled...

Well, after seeing Tubbies on some SJ's at the Blowsion Beach Party, and talking to Mark about it, I spent some more time reading the pros and cons on both boards. I went ahead and ordered 'em up - I am glad I did! I bought the Tubbies II, the official "Race" version. Unbelievable! I can now...

I decided to stick with my dual 44's on my setup. I was contemplating dual Novis, a single Riva 48, or a single FS 49. My current carb setup works very well, there is nothing wrong with it. My ski may be unreliable, but my carbs are not. My total loss ignition will get one more attempt to...

I just got back from the beach! :biggrin: The guys from Blowsion sure know how to throw a party. :biggthumpup: Phill & Myself & our wives went on a 4-day road trip to Tierra Del Mar at the Oregon Coast. This was our first time in anything but flatwater, so we were reasonably excited...
