Ok cool I appreciate that. I have it held on with two bungee cords and a nylon strap which does the job for now. I need to put a latch on it though. I'm in Cobb county near lake allatoona. Where are the other standup guys around here? Ive never seen another one on the lake

It looks like the latch on the front is broken too. Either that or there is a piece missing because there is nothing on the front of the hood to grab the loop on the pole bracket. The bracket on the top of the hood has a hole drilled through it and it looks like maybe something was supposed to...

The guy that I bought it from had some thick bungee cords that were holding the hood down. I'm going to try to find a small ratchet strap that I can use instead. I definitely need to replace the hood latch but I think that a ratchet strap should probably work in the meantime. There's no way I...

I've been looking for one of these for a while now and I finally got one. Paid $2500 for it with a single trailer which I thought was a fair deal. Its missing the hood latch but other than that its in very good original condition. I bought it from the second owner who said that it had always...

Ok cool I'm glad it prob didn't hurt anything. Is there anything else that I have to make sure to seal up after I replace the pump shoe/prop? Is there a drive shaft seal that should be replaced?

So I'm pretty sure I made a dumb mistake last year. I got a 701 SN last summer and sucked gravel into the pump. It tore up the prop and broke the pump shoe. I didn't know why it wouldn't accelerate or come out of the water and while I was trying to figure it out I took off the intake grate to...

I don't think legnth would be as much of an issue as the width. My SN fits without any trouble and the fx1 is about 7" shorter than that. I just don't know how I could get two side by side. Maybe if I had one on a raised platform but that would make launching difficult. I like the idea of the...

Nice! I've got my eye out for a clean FX1 this year and I always wondered if I could manage to stuff 2 of them back there.

Thanks man. Mine is down at the moment too. I sucked gravel into the intake at the end of the summer last year and tore up the prop. Its only about 3 more months until riding season, I really need to fix it before too long.

Yeah I've seen that video too. That's a rear wheel drive van though. There's really no way to lock the front wheels. Also, I don't back it that far into the lake. The water never gets anywhere near the inside of the van. I only need to get the water line within about 6-8" of the back of the...

This is how I have always done it and I find it to be much easier than messing around with a trailer. Since it's front wheel drive I can put it in park and set the brake to lock all 4 wheels so I'm not worried about it slipping down the ramp. I back it up until I hear bubbles and I know the...

Ok. I've never used the classifieds here but I would guess that SJ props are probably pretty common. Is it worth it to spend the extra for a hooker or a skat trak if I am buying used?

I appreciate all the responses. I think I'm going to put used stock parts back on it for now. If I hurry I might be able to get a few more rides in this season Yeah man that sounds good. PM sent Anyone have a stainless SJ prop for sale?

Ok cool, thanks man. So you just run a bead around the perimeter of the shoe where it meets the hull? I spoke to Impros the other day. They were VERY helpful and they can send me a Worx aluminum pump shoe, hooker 9/15 prop, 3M 5200 sealant, and the special tools to take off the prop for about...

Its ok man, sorry to hear about the funeral. I haven't decided if I want the aluminum shoe or not. Seems to be some differing opinions as to whether or not it is necessary or if a stock one will work just fine. I don't see much damage on the vanes but you probably know better than I do. How...

So I pulled the pump out today and this prop is definitely trashed. The blades are all pitted from cavitation and there is a crack on one of the trailing edges. I definitely need a new prop. How bad does this wear ring look? It looks pretty scored to me but I measured the clearance between the...

Cool man thanks for the link. I think I may wind up going with a stock one. I can't seem to find a clear answer as to which aluminum ones fit out of the box. I think the Worx racing one is a direct fit but I'm not sure, people seem to have differing opinions on that

I'd be interested in that skat if you could find out what pitch it is. From what I have read a 12/15 or 12/17 is the most that my 61x could handle Man I really appreciate that, I may wind up going with that route. I wanted an aluminum one but it looks like they require a lot of work to get to...

What kind? Yeah I've heard good things about those. How much of a difference will they make over the stock one? Also, why exactly is my prop no good? I understand that the nicks along the leading edges may cause it to cavitate a bit but will it really not work at all? Just curious. BTW I...

Ok, I can definitely spend a bit more for an aluminum shoe. I've read that some of them require a lot of work to fit and I just want to be able to put one on and go. I've read that the Worx one doesn't require any additional work, is that true? Also, if I need to get a new prop which would you...
