I'll see both of those WetJet ads and raise you a WetBIKE. And if you've ever ridden one.........it really does give you that OH $h!t look on your face when the front ski is out of the water. Just like in the ad!!

They will NEVER pay their share until it's a flat tax % straight across the board for everybody. And the only people that see a problem with that method ARE the well off.

Many people worry way too much about popoff pressures. Most of these things will run fine anywhere from 25-65psi popoff. Maybe not as snappy out of the hole as it COULD be, but definately still everyday rideable. The real thing to look for doing a popoff is that there is no bubbling around the...

OK, I don't want to sound like an ass here but since you didn't replace those OR needles you did not "rebuild" the carbs. See if you can take me a short, up close video of you using a paperclip or similar to push open and close the flapper.

Get your popoff back up to 45-60 on that Yamaha........that's where it would have been........which means somebody has been into them before. Did you replace the anti siphon flapper on the backside of the jet covers?

If they were genuine Mikuni kits it should be running correctly at stock or slightly richer carb settings. If they were NOT Mikuni kits this symptom often occurs.

I remember the excitement of my new concrete years ago!!!

Here's the place near me..........https://deanstop.com/ Theirs is PE and not regular EVA. Supposed to be tougher, not absorb water, hold up to heat better, etc.

Maybe you can still get it........https://www.noslipgatorgrip.com/

A local boat reupholstery shop by me just started carrying some turf for boats......not EVA......I forget the brand. BUT, they had a custom cut piece down on the floor in front of their sales counter and the guy told me they were getting their CNC figured out. They will be able to cut in...

From what I've seen advertised......3-6k depending upon beat or clean.

I would sure try a lower pitched impeller. Something like one from a 657 or 717 powered 3 seater. Get those R's up down low and then if it starts bumping the rev limiter put a kick on the trailing edges.

Garage Journal forum for any of your build questions. The new space will be GREAT! Don't let the guys pour concrete and pull the wire up with rakes.....it just settle back to the bottom. The reinforcement needs to remain in the middle of the slab which is why they make "chairs". Rocks or chunks...

Maintenance??....................you'll need to explain....

I've done a bit of drying out on stock TS and SS style exhausts. The chamber on those gets the water just under the rubber coupler. You should see a rubber hose running from there to the larger chamber section. Pull it loose and slip a restrictor inside that hose. Those little 1/4" thick round...

I'd give it a go for the price......but I also already have a Foredom. It really was the only thing available 20 years ago.

My guess is that pipe/porting/carbs/etc.......appear to be set up for efficiency at around a 1.7:1 gear ratio in a sled. In a watercraft they are direct drive 1:1 to the impeller. This is probably leading to a bogging/soft low end that might be REALLY tough to try and "tune" in. I feel like a...

We're still in suspense here!

So....an extra 8-900 bucks just so you can manually raise it a few positions?? Of course, they're probably built in a professional welding shop where they get $125 an hour so.....there's that.

I also have a few like what WFO posted. Roll SOOOooo smooth on the concrete that you actually HAVE to lock the casters if you're working on the ski. Adjustable bunks, sit at just the right height, and actually will hold 1000#'s. A couple times I've had the RXT or GTX iS skis on them.......and...
