Despite not having the doghouse fitted to clear the chamber and a sketchy AF seating arrangement...I just couldn't wait any longer to get the restomodded hot tub out on the water for it's first water test. That 964 that Paul Lehr whipped up for me had me giggling like a schoolboy! Turn up the...

Rodney, testing the latest round of handling and motor mods. He's got about 9 hours on the boat.

Ridiculous, eh? Why they paired such an anemic, puny pump on this thing really is a head scratcher. Maybe it was the bean counters at Yamaha mandating to use an existing pump setup off of their couch to keep production costs down? The plastic reduction nozzle ( also off of their couch) still has...

Update on the latest mods to Rodney's 4 Stroke: 1. Reflash of ECU from Riva. Rodney chose the 8600 Pump gas R tune. The OEM rev limit is set to 7500. 2. Solas 12/17 prop. I scuffed up the blades. 3.Mildly blueprinted pump. I spent a couple of hours on pump work. I can go further with it at...

Gimme fuel. Gimme fire. Gimme that which I desire.

Yes.watercraftWerks. My bad. Senior moment.

The WatercraftWerks manifold is ambidextrous.

Any Hot products dealer can get you the WarecraftWerks manifold. John at Watcon is also an excellent source. Have him also get you a new SBN 44, as well. And, intake gaskets. You'll also need a flame arrestor adapter and a flame arrestor. As far as jetting goes...what elevation are you...

I totally disagree with that. It wouldn't have cost Yamaha anything more to at least use a longer throw cable with a different mounting location. And, things like handle bar, pole spring and grips, are 3 things that wouldn't cost Yamaha anything extra to get right, out of the crate. You know the...

Actually, I was just playing with flipping the blade to see if I liked it better. I put it back the way the grey mini monster is configured. For sure, I would try these on the FX1!

Like Kevbro sez... it's not so much the 4 Stroke motor that makes the new Superjet handle inferior to the Gen 2 Jet, although the substantial increase in weight does factor in. The hull length and shape and pump tunnel config, all make the new Superjet a really poor handling watercraft. Yamaha...

Big improvement! You don't realize how bad the steering is on this thing until you fix it! I'd still like to see more throw , and I have some ideas on how to get it. That said, If we were doing it all over again, Tomski's bundled steering kit would be the better way to go. It will have more...

We swapped out the Riva intake grate for the more aggressive WCOT grate. Also, I sync'd up the throttle position sensor. This is easily accomplished by removing the 2 bolts that holds the TPS unit to the hull. Loosen the 2 anti tamper T25 bolts and this will then allow you to rotate the TPS...

It was supposed to be an Audi color- Nardo Grey. Not what we ended up with, though. It's marine marine paint and this was the closest they could get to it. I'm not sure of the brand or paint code. This 4mm 580 rips! It's a healthy little boat, and has all the handling bits added that...

They are Wax sponsons with blades that I made.

Swapping out the OEM steering with the ovp leaves this nub exposed on the edge of the pole. Perfect for putting your Dentist's kids through college. So... Then, to address the cavitation issue, Rodney is swapping out the RIVA grate for this Watercross of Texas.

There's a good number of detail pics of this build as well as a few others that you might like to Czech out, on my IG @1Aquaholic1.
