    Freestyle Rickter XFS-specs and pricing?

    $6500 for a jetski??? There was a local guy making custom race boats and selling them with a new trailer for $9000. He stopped making them because there was more demand for fiberglass bathtubs and shower stalls.

    FX-1 Anyone using a drop in pump mod? ie blowsion or bonzia bob

    A modded "drop in" 144 works better than the stock fx1 pump but not as well as it does in a SJ. Lots of glass work required to get the most from a 144.

    Super Jet SOLAS intake vs Worx

    Worx makes one of the deepest grates currently available, it works better at low speeds and in rough water than shallower grates.

    SXR The End

    May the demand for hulls will increase enough to attract some more experienced boat builders that can get by on less markup.

    Custom/Hybrid Kawi pump vs Yamaha pump in a custom hull....

    The only problem area with Kawasaki pumps is the impeller to shaft seal on aftermarket props. Its easy to get sand in the splines of a Yamaha any time the pump is pulled causing very rapid wear. The Kawasaki is easier if you are picky about maintenance.

    Super Jet stator and e.p.i.c.

    How about using a "reliable" OTP chip with a curve and limit that will work well for most skis. I need all the reliability of a stock ignition but with 10 degree retard and 7500 limit.

    Super Jet Shorten Squarenose pole

    Adapt a Kawasaki turn plate. Make a bushing for the center and tighten the pivot solid using washers to adjust the slack.

    Jet skier shot in the back

    Drug smuggling must not pay what it use to. Miami Vice has become Rio??? Staring ugly actors sporting wifebeaters while riding around on jetskis.

    Super Jet Shorten Squarenose pole

    Its easy, this was only about 1.5 inches. The bars are up against the pivot bolt.

    Custom/Hybrid Sx-X2

    Ride it before you shorten the hull. If you are big/tall it wont need it.

    Super Jet Prop question 13/18 or 9/15?

    The old Slimline 13-18 is too much load. Its leading edge is too steep making the pump vibrate a lot.

    650/X-2 Anyone know what this is??????

    It looks like a "Roost Boost" ignition amplifier. They were made 20+ years ago.

    Super Jet highest pitch prop w/ 144 SJ OEM pump

    Your engine may not want to rev enough with "freestyle" porting and a limited pipe. A mod chamber will help raise the rpm and add power. Increasing pump load may extend acceleration but seldom increases low speed thrust, except in an extreme mismatch.

    Other WTF is with the arrogance of builders and manufacturers of products for our sport

    A service is also low quality if its benefit is not stated or measurement of not provided. Speed and weight are the only metric that everyone can easily verify. Everything else is subjective and thats where the prettiest face and best line of BS always win.
