Looks great. How about doing "ghost" graphics in gloss black, either paint or vinyl?

If you use contact cement and let both surfaces dry before attaching, it will only take a few minutes. Afterwards, place the hood on the seal and use a strap around the hull and hood to press down on it (I think Steve (Watercraft Factory taught me this)). Or, if you already have the latch...

Impressive. I must give props to Mark (Full Throttle). He told me that he was building a 1000cc Lamey to bring to WF and he put it together the day before leaving. I told him that it wasn't a good idea because it was his first public showing of his work. I guess he proved me wrong as Ant...

If you can get Cam2 for $3.00 a gallon, that would be a good choice. Just check the "Motor Octane" number of that variety of Cam2 that they have. If it's in the ballpark of 97-100, you'll likely be fine for running anything up to 215psi or so (I don't know all of the details of your setup, so...

Not sure exactly where it is hitting if it is installed properly, but it is more likely that when the motor is not running that there is only about a 1/4" gap between the chamber and the bedplate. Then when the engine is running, it vibrates more than 1/4" thus hitting the bedplate. If this is...

In order to get the best adhesion you should get all of the old stuff out of there. You can scrape and don't be afraid to scratch anything as it will be hidden by the new seal. After removing all of the old "goop" you need to scuf it up with 36 or 60 grit and then use contact cement or a good...

I think Steve's (Lance Lakes) new Team Scream is exactly what you are looking for to compare. He's not too far away, but you better hurry as it's getting cold:) http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/8283&highlight=Team+Scream

Hunter, yes you were. You rode my single-carbed 860 a few weeks ago. When I was down there, I rode an 820 5mm 61X Team Scream motor and it hit almost as hard as mine, and it hit a lot harder than any 61X cylinder that I have ridden anywhere. Dammit, I'm going to have to get in line now for...

That has to be one of the, if not the, hardest hitting motors you've ever ridden. Yes, no ? It's similar to the last few motors that Chuckie has done and I've ridden them and they are phenomenal.

You could try going to your local small airport adn running 100 octane low lead (100LL).

I was curious to see it installed. Looking at the pictures though, I see a lot of parts that will rust over time, and very quicky in a salt environment. The rotating petcock with zinc/cad plating doesn't look too resistant to corrosion, nor does the top plate/ring. You might go through and...

With the ATP you may need to use a spacer just to pull the carb away from the motor. I did. The ATP looks like it has a built-in spacer, but in reality its a clever thre-piece design. The runners are machined billet halves, welded together, and the other piece (that which you mentioned looks...

I second that. I am running the ATP with VFIIs.

Nice. What's really impressive is that you're doing that with a 760. It goes to show the potential of a lightweight hull (and your skills, too, of course).

Get both. If you're not wearing gloves, it's pretty likely that you have smoothed out the surface of your grips. With new gloves and the friction of new grips, you'll be in great shape and won't be able to let go of the ski.

I've seen some screws that come with ODIs and they are nickel/chrome plated (much shinier than stainless). If it's a decent quality finish that doesn't chip, I would expect it to be as good as or better than stainless wrt corrosion as the problem with stainless is the galvanic corrosion when in...

Sure, there are some significant size differences between the limited/mod and Blaster mod and also the straight-through design versus center-bleed. I was merely pointing out that if you do the testing with your water routing and screw settings, you may reach a different conclusion as to which...

I think you're never going to get multiple people concluding on a common answer. As romack points out, the screws can make a difference. Likewise, how you route your water and whether you run restrictors/flow control valves can make a big difference as to why one person might swear by a Mod...

He sounds like a really nice guy, with all the greatest intentions (complimentents, gift for daughter, church, lol).:bs2: This sounds a little fishy to me. You should reply to him, "For your security and mine, please use the eBay checkout form (through eBay) to make payment with Paypal as...

Hmmm. Thanks for the input guys. Meatball's comment is pretty significant. I like Lance-Lakes' idea of making a foam/pourable-foam composite. I've also considered something like 1/2"-1" plastic spheres combined with pourable-foam forming a composite filler, hopefully, lighter weight, but...
