Where's this proverbial line?

Ps... anybody want to donate a RN style handlepole?

A few of the beach runs. It gets knocked about in the surf pretty damn easy. I'm much more comfortable in the buoys.

My hull weighed at 80 lbs even with absolutely nothing on it, no hood, no pole, no brackets, nothing. Thats with a perfectly dry fresh foam job and the 650 pump cavity. 92 is nothing to be ashamed of.

Cough cough choke choke. Small pipe.

Viewing these makes me want to put tubbies and a bunch of lead in the nose of my ski.... First successful ride in the surf ever. And I got slapped around like a bitch in those waves.

Luckily my 550 has a roundnose bracket.

I totally think this pole would fit better on a 550 hull. Especially my sj550 hull....

Id snag those fx1s up in a heartbeat! average weights seem to be something like this. 550 - 220-240 lbs fx1 - 250-270 lbs SJ - 300-320 lbs I know my empty hull weighed in at 80lbs, and I expect that to go up 7-10 lbs after reinforcement.

Starting to get the carbs dialed in. The entire time Ive thought the bottom was running really rich. 120 lows seem very high to me. Ended up turning the lows out 2.5 turns (on the OEM fine thread needles) and the ski woke up. So since I'm already at 2 turns out on the high just to stay a...

But why go through all that work for a new one and keep OEM steering specs? Thats the first thing I change on a boat, as I dont like slow steering ratios. Not nocking the product though. Looks great!

LoL. Look at ole chris in that first pic. Looks like hes riding with ape hangers harley-chopper style on his ski.

the steering action radius looks really small..... otherwise great looking plate.

I had a few different intake grates and found that the best was the really aggressive PJS one. However it needed to be sharpened and massaged in a few areas.

Fine. I'll put a PJS sticker on it then.

Hrm... that has a nice ring to it. :jester:

Bah. Your silly. 550 hulls are the best. They just need to have their chines massaged, a big pump and tubbies. And a yamaha motor.

aluminum shaft will be just fine.

burnnnnnn. Sn superior to the Pre-Madonna RN!

Thats pretty cool... but all that work to weld on and machine out new crank reed induction and you leave BN carbs? I think not sir! Did you fill the intake port with epoxy and then machine a boost port down from it? Surely not using the transfers only?
