Dude so awesome. How much did you spend getting it race ready?

Thank you for the insite, i was unaware of all that but i will now use that tool. I appreciate the feedback. Again my idea was just to restore and make it look freah again with a a color id enjoy. And i also agree, i had an fx1 that was incredibly fast and ill likely move up to something further...

I dont think this is the only one ill do, this is the first time iv ever restored a ski, so i tried to just make it as original as possible. Someone made a good point that its possible that these might be worth money one day for a nice original design. But aside from that i do plan on doing...

Primer is on hopefully sanded and painted next weekend

Found a guy getting rid of a ski for 60 bucks, its the wrong fire extinguisher hold for this year but honestly Super stoked it just worked. Just started with the fire extinguisher hold this morning and im beyond excited that its gonna work without any major work needed., just need a cap now...

Someone loan me 9999 dollars please.

dude you would be my hero. i ruined the tube and that plastic piece that kinda takes the shape of the hull

super sad i broke this fire extinguisher plastic piece, i feel like im not gonna have to cut it completely out and find another donor damnt.

here are more

Started sanding the ski. Wanted to keep the ski as close to its original form as it could be but i ended up breaking a piece of the fire extinguisher housing then i started going ham on it. Does anyone know a good replacement for trying to keep this somewhat original. Also if i decide to race...

i suppose your right, im definitely repainting though.

epic!

My buddy compulsively bought an unfinished, unregistered ski, and has about negative experience with any watercraft or just wrenching alone. the guy who sold it to him at the time basically said he didnt have time to do anything with it and bought it just how we saw it at the time. He got that...

Its funny because i quite literally just pulled a 440 apart that was given to me and i totally know what your talking about with the shaft, 1 i actually did end up throwing a little oil down the cylinder after i pulled engine, once i let it sit for a few mins it actually got significantly easier...

Iv heard that getting this motor is nearly impossible to get ahold of and the parts to rebuild are the same.

What do you mean?

I actually figured it out, it had a bad power contact. Thanks for the help. Also i did throw a dab of oil down the cylinders. Just to give it a little love on the rings. After it had been sitting for so long i figure it was a decent idea.

Long story short, when i try to start it, it sounds like it has a dead battery and its slow to turn over, i had a 1000 cca battery hooked up. By hand the motor turns over but feels "stiff" My assumtion is that it sat so long that either the crankshaft bearings are seized or the piston rings...

A V3 tigercraft is what im after so im assuming yes.

Ya im asking questions because im new, so sometimes i dont know the right question to ask. I think the answer to the question at this point though if a 155 is installed a prop can tune everything to manage more or less power.
