    Have you or have you thought about making your own Hull?

    Make a handle pole chin pad or a ride plate first, see how you like it, then multiply what you just did by 100.

    2016 Rickter XFR - 160mm Pump with 718 ported

    I’d go after a 155 OE setup with a 5/10 for that 718 and hang onto the 160 for the big motor. Getting a 160 prop flat enough for that 718 may not be practical. You’ll have no problem moving the 155 set up when you’re done with it.

    Here we go… again… another Freak re-build

    Those aren't chips and spiders, they're patina. And it earned everyone of them.

    Just for fun. Write short crappy reviews of jetskis you've owned or rode.

    Wave Jammer 500. First thing I ever rode. Hanging at the beach with my girl and we found a wallet, so we took the cash and dropped the wallet in a U.S. Post Office Box. She says let's go rent Jetskis. Of course all the 440/550's were out, so the guy says we just got these Yamaha things over...

    Handlepole Springs

    X2 on rhugo’s post. I wasted a Blowsion spring and a lot of time trying to take a wrap out of it just settle on a oe FX/SJ spring.

    ELECTRIC IS HERE!

    Agree with you about surface area for solar, wind, or even ethanol or bio fuels for that matter, there’s not enough to meet current or future demands. I am impressed with recent milestones reached with fusion , even though viable fusion reactors are perpetually 25 years away. Once they do arrive...

    NW FX1 Build w/TOM 21 144 pump tunnel swap.

    You're gonna want some kind of adjustable nozzle that you can tune to a fixed position. All the FX guys I rode with had some kind of adjustable nozzle that they used to trim the boat with and end up leaving in one spot. Going to a bigger pump in that hull always seems to cause it to "plow"...

    Cart/Carrier $1000

    Fabricated combination cart/carrier. This was my Alpha cart made in 1995 to test the concept of a cart that was also a carrier. I used it with FX-1's and SJ's for about 20 years till I got around to finalizing my design , lol. Will also come with runners for SJ, 2 sets of wheels, beach and rough...

    Pump sealing

    I've had them be a bitch with or without sealant especially at the stainless dowels, in my experience at least the sealant limits corrosion in salt water only boats, 99% of my riding.

    Pump sealing

    I use the Permatex Ultra Grey, it's supposed to have higher vibration resistance. Not so much to seal the sections, they won't leak without it, more so to displace the water to limit the white corrosion build up.

    Polished aluminum in salt.

    Absolutely polish it ! I polished my B Pipe on a boat I rode only in salt, surf and back bays. The only regret I had was that I didn't polish it before the crinkle powder coat trapped salt and pitted the alum. Made it twice as much work polishing. The pic is after about 18 seasons of riding, and...
