OK, will do. I have some experience with this. I did a 144mm bolt up conversion on my FX-1. That turned out great. By the looks of this job, this should be easier. I will probably have to cut out the tray and reinforce around the tunnel but other than that, it looks pretty straight forward.

Just grabbed my 300 tonight. I have different plans though. Mine runs perfect so first I'm going to ride it for a while. Meanwhile, I'll be cleaning up an old race 650 guts. The 650 motor has every conceivable mod from its time, and it shows. Its pink, green and all kinds of early 90's...

Yea, no way a yami drive train is 200lbs. A stock SJ is 291. So the hull and hood would have to be in the 90lbs range. I dont think so. Standard Bobs are 260 rtr with 75lb hulls. My FX-1s weighd about 90lbs and they are 260rtr. So the drive train should run in the 170's. I think 220 is...

LMAO, all this from a stunt hull guy. LOL Seriously though, Ive pondered this for years. I say go for it. The coast guard uses aluminum for its boats, just make sure to add several zinks.

Giving up already? LOL. Well, If anyone is interested. This was a great ride. I built it. O only got rid of it because I needed a more all around boat. I needed a hood trick boat. This setup is incredible with a mild motor and insane with decent power. Not really sure why Josh is giving...

Mine's a '90 and I just broke the original front cover two weeks ago. Not bad I guess. Time for some hood mods, nose mods and paint I guess. Its second coat in 20 years. Guess I can keep her running for another 10 or 20 if need be. Kiss my arse EPA!

Nice look'n ride Magic! Go squares!

Aramis, LOL. I hope they have figured out a Loop hole that allows registration. From what I've read, it only allows the use for racing and they wont be registrable, however, last time I read an IJSBA rule book it required the ski to be registered. Not sure how that would work since theres not...

Your right. Soon as this baby pops I'll be out there with ya. Hope to be out on the track soon Lynn. Driving around the neighborhood got old weeks ago. Sorry if I killed the tread with all the seriousness guys.

Everyone keeps going back to the sales thing. You all are forgetting that they sell almost every 2 stroke ski out every spring. They are only allowed by law to sell and produce 200 or so. If they where allowed to sell more, I guarantee they would make more. Before the EPA rules, they...

Ummm, the EPA is Washington and they are the ones who outlawed the SXR and SJ. Period. They have to stop by law no mater how many they want to sell. Most dealers sell out all the SXRs they get before they get them. The EPA only lets them produce 200 or so every year. Now they can't sell any...

Your right Dan. And no matter who we elect, Washington screws em up. W was a great governor here in TX. He was a pretty good president the first term too. But Washington got to him in the end. He went right along with those lefties for the last two years and look at us now. It's no longer...

BTW, thanks to the guys at the X. Without you, I'd be dwindling away on a dirt bike. That reminds me. I have to update and renew my subscription to the X. If you haven't, you should. It's an easy and inexpensive way we can all help preserve the sport.

Ditto SJ! That's what I'm seeing here. Many, many 3 wheel riders probably felt just like us. There where far more of them than us. For them, at least the 4 wheeler is similar. For us, the couch is no option at all. Your right. Thanks to the forums for bringing us together and all the...

Here's what kills me... My two boys, 8 and 2 years old, my daughter -1week. That's what kills me. Without new skis to replenish the used parts sector, our sport will die, eventually. These are not classic cars that where mass produced and widely popular. Most people don't know much about...

Yes it is. Had a few interested but shipping seems to scare them away.

Travis, I'd say SBT's your best bet. I've been to the SBT shop, they have a great rig for cranks. I've built a ton of motors with those cranks and they are rock solid. Unlike Hot Rods, they are stronger than OEM and don't tend to bend easily. Both my Square and yellow Fx-1 have SBT cranks...

Just a thought, how we gonna tell them apart in the 22nd century? LOl

Awesome! Looks super clean. You're gonna love it! Just needs a head, pipe, and a hooker 9/15 to fly! Enjoy! BTW, dose anybody know how to get sheets of that oem yami turf? That stuff lasts forever.

Great buy. You'll be happy you did. When I saw you were looking at a 750sx I was like NOOOOOOOOOO! If you watch videos all over the forums, you will rarely see any 750sxs. Even rarer to find an SXIpro yet there where just as many of them made as Yamaha. Those where strictly racing skis at...
