Jeremy Philips used to run a ride plate with some fins on it. I seem to only remember it high-siding the crap out of me. It would slide then a fin would bite in and off I would go. But if they were the right size it probably would have been better, and that was probably 4 years ago anyway.

My opinion, I would not build a boat for the surf with anything less than the 25mm padding. I think I know 5 or 6 people who have broken heels in the surf. And none of them were running the 25mm pad. It is good stuff and can be easily sanded.

There is another guy in Havasu putting webber motors in SXR hulls currently. I don't think they have finished one yet, but probably will soon.

I like Stan's solution...put cheap and done.

John, I have been using the nut from Blowsion for about a year now and it has worked just fine. Just make sure you use the right size allen to tighten the little bolt. As far as the bit...I'm don't really remember the size...but small. I have a ton of those bits because I use them to drill...

You could also put a regular nut on the top, tighten everything down where you want it and drill a hole for a cotter pin. I did that on an old system a few years back, UMI did something similar for a while.

Cool...anyone going from say Phoenix to Alabama?

Any chance you have room for a standup? I'm trying to get a ski to FL and can drop it off anywhere within about 350 miles of San Diego...would be happy to kick down a few hundred for gas also. The ski is probably going to ship next week anyway, but if someone is headed over and has...

With all due respect to Kalwren, unless you are very knowledgeable about motors or enjoy working on them...stay away from that 550 you linked to. It is great that someone spent lots of money on the boat, etc...but that is not the ski you want to get started in the sport. I know there are...

Besides the two that John (227) mentioned. We lost one at a contest in Brazil two years ago, there was a little argument about there being nose foam in it or not...I think probably not. Mac, lost the one years ago in the AMCF video shoot in Oceanside that we later found washed up on the...

That really was a super fun trip and a great way to end an awesome year of filming. Chris is amazingly skilled behind the camera and computer. I'm really happy I had the chance to be a part of such a great project.

Here is a pic in the gas tank...super low profile and that part will never come out!

Put me down for one Mr. Carl...we are building a new boat that will have lots of Cold Fusion parts on it in a couple of weeks! I'm stoked!

wow... I should really check my spelling before I hit submit...

Thanks for the link Suzi, there are lots of exciting things happening in the labs right now and it provides a good idea of what is coming 10 or so years down the road. But we have some pretty good options currently out there now. All good stuff... Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

Sounds good Carter, just send em my way.

OK...umm....what?

hahaha jake what are you going to use that for? Derrek bout one a few years ago and tried to tow it with the blaster...did not work too well in Oceanside.

Chris Rosner and I did some durability testing with them. At the same time I made a dome change on my boat, so I can't speak to the power increases. But they held up great. Chris told me he felt like his boat made more power with them. He also really durability tested them when he broke a...

hahaha...no real scoop to give yet. We built this proof of concept to see if the project was worth pursuing, and are working on the prototype now. But we are still a ways off.
