I remember an interview with Herbie back in the day and he said no life jacket so he could duck dive if necessary.

Rode my FX with a Factory Pipe and stock pump for 10 years and thought it was great. The pump is definitely too small but it's very, very ridable. The best mod ever to improve your capabilities is ride time! Winter is a good time for a pump project.

Building a single carb ss865 currently.....let you know how it works. IDOK is running a single on a little SS motor.

Killer Tarpon shot!! The FX Mafia defied the evacuation rules today and enjoyed some waves up to double overhead...it was fricken awesome!!!

We're getting evacuated....damn it!!

I think pro-tec grates are still available and work pretty well. My fav is the R&D toploader but they're hard to find.

Right now Atlantic City prediction is double overhead on Sunday!!!!!

PM "Dangerboy", I think he makes a billet replacement. A new stocker is about $130.

Nice.....looks like fun!

I use Permatex clear silicone to seal the pump shoe to the hull. 5200 would probably work well yoo, but could make it a biatch to remove the pump to change props or bearings. Either way, you need to have a perfect seal between the pump shoe and hull or you'll have cavitation.

Good to see you back on the water........Nice job!

Run the steering cable to the top side of nozzle and bilge line will snake right around it......

Nice...been watching Randy ride since back in those old "magazine" days. Always been smooth and in the danger zone....luv it!

Two biggest gains on the FX are a pump mod (kawi 650 pump or SJ pump) and a Factory "B" pipe. Neither will affect your reliability if done properly. Next 2 biggest gains (in my opinion) are a shortened pole and Tubbies, again no affect to reliability either.

Sweet.....looks like fun!

As a matter of fact it is "Special" :barrel:

Damn...Sunday looks good....drive fast Shawn!

Nice Mike!....stay in one piece!

on closer look, I have to agree with Tom 21. It looks like someone just poured some resin on the bottom (probably trying to bond whatever the nut looking thing is). It's probably just really brittle and cracked. I've never seen an FX with that type of resin flow inside, I'm betting on previous...

stock from Yamaha is the only source I know of and I use CA (super glue) to bond it.
