A JS is just a 550 with less power. It is only slightly lighter. It was designed for kids. The SX is much shorter and wider. It responds much better to mods IMO. I'm not sure if I agree with OneDumb on the stability though. This thing is more stable at speed tan a 550 and seems to be about...

Its so great we can't get hold of him to purchase. It's a shame. I like it too. I've tried to contact him multiple times.

Looks like it will be on its way soon. Very exciting. Unfortunately I will be unable to share too many details as we evaluate this engine. But I will let you all in on what I can.

Exciting update! I may have a single rotor prototype coming our way for evaluation. I will let you all know once I have more solid information. Thank you for all your interest, ideas and support. The china idea would be optimal but so far, there is no Chinese rotary motor available due to...

OK I will. I can have one prototype for 15k. Or, I can build 30 prototypes for 25k. So I'll just send you my bank info ;) The catch is that with the 30 engines, I can't sell any. I have to get licensing. But, I would have the tooling to build thousands of these. The licensing agreement...

Well, it's hard to say. We need funding to build the motor ourselves or we need someone else to produce the engine for other purposes. Then we can buy some from their production lines at a much reduced cost. We where originally supposed to have this chance by august. That company has not come...

Rotron is basically the same thing as the motor we are looking at from Freedom motors. The motor from the freedom link above was my first choice however, that design is too large for stand ups. While it would bolt up to a blaster no problem, the center line on the shaft is too large at 5 1/2...

Yea, well, I couldn't expect everyone to wait around forever. So anyway, you've lost interest? What are you doing here then? ;)

Sory, racing. Was born to race on 4 wheels. Got to catch up for the last 20 years wasted.

OK, managed to get some parts together for the next motor. In a week or two, I'll have a nicely built 550 reed motor in this thing. Should be making around 60-70hp with all the mods I'm planning. This should wake up the ski and make it perform like I expect the Rotary to do. Looking for a...

There are several designs available. More details once the prototype is bolted to the hull. It's a four stroke only because the industry considers it one. IMO its a one stroke. One design actually runs two smoke oil and one doesn't. Either way they burn cleaner than most 4 strokes and have...

Mazda Rotarys are waaaaay to big for stand ups. No Mazda rotarys. No worries. I've seen that before. Its a XXL-2 LOL!

No turbos. just a naturally aspirated motor. Carburated or fuel injected. Working on both. The bolt on power will add CCs. It's not a traditional motor.

If they figure it out then so be it. I'm doing this to keep our sport alive. If someone else wants to pony up the money and produce these motors, there's nothing I can do to stop them. Nor would I try at this point. The info I have provided may very well give away what we are doing. The...

Well, I guess Sid never found better footage on the rolls. I am awaiting a quote for a special custom hull from The Ski clinic and possible one other hull builder. Once we have something solid from them, I will let you guys know whats going on. There are some set backs on the actual prototype...

Wow! I was on the dead FWBF bandwagon till I read this: This should be read, read again, then taken to heart by all of us. We are at a crossroads in our sport. Will it live for our kids and theirs to enjoy or will we be the last to see it. This man's thought should be the last word on...

lol, poor guy, hes expecting some great video. Theres hopefully more to come soon. ill try to edit my pov shot and post them as well.

It seems the point of this post was to say the FW BF is dead because it's all about the ski now days. Its not impressive anymore. When all they do at competition is BF 15 times in a row on a 30k boat, it becomes a 'who got the bling show' instead. It would be nice to see a combo of rolls...

This is all I have for now of our ride the other day. I rolled till my back went out. Fun stuff. More video to come. Definitely not getting high enough yet. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150273313425406
