Do you have a link for the spacer? I was wondering what I was going to do to keep my tank from rubbing.....

Thanks for the tip on the tube length/bolt clearance. I was trying to be aware of this when mocking up. I'm going to run the through hull siphon tube on the "Drivers Side" will run 5/8s that way if I decide to run trim I can. I'll just disconnect the siphon bilge and run my trim through the...

I’m to the point where I’m installing my exhaust tube cooling lines, steering tube etc. At this point I don’t think I’m going to run trim. However I plan on riding this in the surf so I wanted to keep the stock siphon bilge ( I will also be running dual electric bilges). At this point I’m...

After glassing in the tunnel I started shaping my chines and tunnel in again.I made a sanding block from a mold of the bottom of the hull which helped a bit. But using this sanding block let me give it the best shape. I used a ride plate to keep an eye on my shaping. Here’s how it turned out.

I used thickened epoxy an hop strand to glue my tunnel in to place after my alignment. On the inside of the hull I tried to stream line my epoxy as much as possible for laying glass over the top once dried. I made sure to build up extra glue to fill all voids around the tunnel. ( this can be...

I’d have to say that you and Brapp did for sure. I’ve been following your thread as well, and had a ton of help from the both of you.

Alright. So at this point I've reinforced all of my hull. And installed my pump tunnel and aligned my pump. To anyone using a Tom 21 tunnel. I would go the route I did the 3rd time to glue it in place. Yes I aligned and glued my tunnel in 3 times. Third time is the charm and what I found to...

What’s the best way of removing old ones?

Do you have any pictures or links?

I’m not sure yet. Was looking into it. There’s a few people that have mentioned after swapping pumps in the fx-1 they “permanently trimmed” their exit nozzle. However some of those pump swaps keep stock driveshaft length , different pumps (im running 144), and stock tunnel so there are a lot...

Man this thing is more 90's than the 90's. Great looking ski.

This is cool. I've always wanted to get into this. I worked at a restaurant in the Virgin Island a long time ago. The chef there did some amazing stuff. He would dry age his own rib roast and cut up into individual steaks. He would age for 28 days and would have a rotation of four roasts...

Where did you get these pump shims from?

Thanks man. Figured this out. Essentially you’ll only get it so good. From what I heard is people use to eyeball it back in the day. I’m confident I have my alignment as good as it will get.

Just curious. What would cause the pump to be out of alignment when changing props? Currently I’m working on two pumps I already have a 144 solas mag assembled. Has a solas 9/15 2nd oem 144 oem pump 9/15 Hooker 3rd will be 144 oem pump 11/17 Hooker I mainly want to see the differences...

Great idea on the rails. Carbon work looks amazing!

What kind of engine setup do you have? btw it seems like a few people thought I should be going with a 10/16 or 11/17. Thanks

Thanks Brap! I appreciate all the input. It seems like every time I have a decision dialed in something undermines the confidence I have in it on the build./setup. I just want to make sure I get it right, and that I can enjoy it this summer!

I haven't had much time to update this post but have taken a ton of pictures and will be adding them with notes and tips. I do need some help and input. I have a 144 stock pump. I need to know what prop to run. Ported 760 ligthened flywheel, dual 44s, zeel, high comp head. Was looking into...

what is schmity?
