    steering system recommendations

    I really do not like my RRP steering. It gets sloppy/play in it very fast, and as soon as that happens saltwater get in and trashes the bearings. I want to try something new next time the bearings get crappy. Will the cold fusion or titan bolt up to a RRP billet pole?

    Bagging stuff removed.... Bleeder cloth is the black thing on top. The Rickter's now ready for another 3-5yrs of surf abuse!

    Custom/Hybrid Shawn_NJ's XS865 RICKTER FS2 Build

    Years ago I tried just that on an X2 bottomdeck repair. Lesson learned that Kevlar wicks water something fierce as soon as the cloth is exposed. Add in freezing northeast winter and it delaminated by spring. The additional glass we layed down just about doubled the thickness of the hull on...

    Custom/Hybrid Shawn_NJ's XS865 RICKTER FS2 Build

    2014 Update: Been riding a ton this year. Spent 2.5 weeks in FL so far in 2014, riding surf everyday. Cought the hurricane swell 2weeks ago. After about 500+ high speed beachings the bottomdeck was showing some bigtime signs of wear! Fiberglass hulls just donot hold up like good old...

    Beach cart launching (one person)

    Is it a sand beach? How soft/deep is the sand? If its really sugary sand with an incline, its almost impossible to pull a ski across it by yourself even with the best sand tire cart.

    Why have a builder build it?

    I have disassembled/reassembled a stocker 701 just to say I did it...but I would not say I am good at it. When you start adding up the cost of big PV cylinder kits, bored/ported/epoxied cases, stroker cranks, then bolting on $$$ manifolds, ect...you really better know what the hell your doing...

    My throttle return spring broke, what if...

    I had a single 46SBN spring break pretty far out a open bay.....it stuck wide open. Luckily I had a lanyard and had time to push stop button, while ski was trying to accelerate out of control. I was able to push the cable back in at the handlebar and ride it back holding the cable. But ya...

    NO LONGER OFFERING Custom Stainless HIN tags

    Leaking into the tray is exactly what I am worried about. Thanks for the link. Any chance you have a pic of yours installed with screws? I am thinking I might try and install it in the motor bay or find somewhere on the topdeck. I dont think I can bring myself to drill into the tray area.

    How many ride but have no friends that ride anymore

    NJ has a great crew of riders. But I normally end up riding solo 90% of the time because I'm lazy and just go on the river right behind my house. Doesnt bother me, I have a blast. When I go down to FL to ride, I love riding with the crew there. But at the sametime there is nothing like a...

    NO LONGER OFFERING Custom Stainless HIN tags

    Got mine, came out awesome. Question for anyone who has installed them. How are you attaching them to your hull. I dont know the first thing about rivets, but I am going to guess that is the best way. Any mcmaster links on what to buy?

    What other sites do you visit for jetski info?

    I hate FB... but there is just too much jetski content on there to not use it. All the pictures and videos from freeride's get posted up there first. I just block everyone who posts pictures of there kids and other lame stuff, then its not that horrible. Other then that, the X is the only...
