I am new to building any sort of AM hull. im basically starting from scratch aside from an engine with a choice between a 701 62t or a 61x, a 144 pump and a impeller. This is kind of my way of seeing total cost of ski plus parts i will need as for my plans with some of the engine work. any and...

Js 550 was almost sea worthy with a likely bad starter and a new one ordered when the kid in our shop drove a forklift into the nose. Sad. RIP general lee

Anyone have a picture of how that is attatched to the pole. I didnt take a picture when i unassembled. Greatly appreciated in advance.

Have a 701 61x with electronics on a shelf and a 144 and solas impellar. Getting painted in orange and set up for a pfp (i guess if i get a bigger engine setup.) Suppose to be here around march. Excited. I skipped getting a superjet all together which may or may not be a mistake, but iv always...

Anyone have any experience with the reliability of this engine?

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3454736671504658/?mibextid=dXMIcH Iv heard the word. "Buy a superjet" guy doesnt have a ride plate, throttle cable and needs an exhaust pipe. Everything else is there. Worth the time and effort to put back together? Iv got a 61x set of cylinders and...

The ski was given to me and was told that the carbs need to be rebuilt (1994 wave raider). Apparently it sat for 5 years In my dads driveway. Rebuilt the carbs, tested pop off pressure and everything checked out when i slapped it back on. i didnt have a carb base gasket but i used some gasket...

Can anyone confirm. Dad handed over a . 62t 701. Cant find any direct information on just the carbs alone as far as millimeters is concerned but the carbs for sure need a rebuild.

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...

I assume that at some point a larger pump like a 155mm with lets say a stock 701 would do nothing aside from cause a lot of loss on the bottom end due to a larger prop being spun and more water being pushed. Is their a rule or thumb/gold standard to engine size and modification? Im trying to...

Im trying my best to do a search and cant seem to really find a HOW too thread and im sure its because where everyone get their power centers are different. Basically dad has a mint condition 1994 wave raider sit down with a stock dual carb 701. im a diesel boat mechanic and i repower old...

Has anyone ever thrown a 800 kawi or yamaha motor in a 550 hull? Thinking about building a 550 like this ( http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/550sx-hull-modernization-build.110961/ ) and throwing an 800 in it. if its not realistic then im not gonna bother.

So, im sure by now your all tired of my stupidity, BUT im gonna give it one more shot before i find a new hobbie and sell my ski. at this point i almost wished i could have been happy with just having the damn ski. ill spare everyone on the details so long story short, my last time i took out...

Is it possible?

Literally just got back from havasu. Anyway. Got on the ski after all the upgrades. (b pipe, ada head , port n polish, bigger main jet, arieltek cdi, second pisser with a restrictor and a flow valve to stinger, carb and jetting done by art at jetworks) Anyways here is my trip in a nutshell...
