Thanks John, might end up needing something. I spent the last two days sanding and buffing on the exterior of it. I'm about ready to put the motor in. Over all I am super happy with Jeff's work. He is great to do business with and after the whole thing a great friend. Loaning me parts exc.

nice work man! I'm interested to see how the pipe works, I am concerned with vibration on the manifold to head pipe weld.

well it's come time to make the trip up to see Jeff and get my beautiful ski! Here are a could pictures of his art work:

Jeff is getting close to finishing mine, I can't wait to see that sexy thing in person.

So Jeff has started my hull. here areva couple pics of the progress.

@Midlake Crisis, To be honest, I didn't even ride one. I was either worn out from ridding my ski or pulling my carb to adjust pop off, water tuning, exc. Jeff kept trying to get me to ride it and it never seemed to work out. I just like the idea of ordering the color of carbon that I want...

@Blaine Mac, Thank you for the compliment, I too grew up on the js440,650sx,x2 and js550. After ridding a few aftermarket hulls you realize how slippery and tipsy the 650sx hull is. I'm sure that this could be fixed by a rockered front end tubbies exc. but there are to many options on the...

I met the Michigan crew at freeman park, all great guys. After a few days of thinking about it I made the call to Jeff. I have requested a full carbon dart, it will be a few months but I'll post pics once it's done. Ahh, time to step away from the old stress cracked 650sx!

Here is a little gopro video from the beach. Nothing to cool but I didn't get stuck in the middle of the ocean.

I didn't realize engine temp mattered that much until it wasn't getting warm enough. I installed dual cooling on a fresh build and thought, the colder the more power. When I would pull up to the bank, pull the hood and mess with carb settings it would RIPPPP off the beach for a sec. Then water...

The Rick Roy video is pretty sick, to bad no one has a VHS haha.. Was everyone ridding like this back then? Is he kinda like the Parks Bonifay (wakeboarding) of jet ski's?

^ I agree completely, spoken like a good welder.

I have made leaps and bounds in my project. The things I changed were carb settings, cooling water flow, gas tank check valve and pump nozzle size. This thing is starting to rip, and I like it! So my carb settings needed a much lower pop off, I read for days and ordered a 95g and 2.0 needle...

If you need something welded/ scabbed over I'll be happy to do it for you. I can weld any metal, I'm certified on 28 different procedures for pressure vessel repair.

Thanks John, I'll give it a try.

Does anyone remove the top carb brace and not run it? The reason I ask is, I have stripped one of the headbolts from removing the carb so many times. Fixing the head bolt won't be a problem but I will have to remove the head to install helicoils. My question is: Is the top brace on the carb...

yeah, it seems as though the power comes at about half speed and pulls all the way to unstable speed. I did some reading and shortened the belly of the pipe 7" basically I think the sonic waves are canceling each other out at lower rps. Why did I go 7"? because that would be about the same...

I tested my CDI to chart above, out of spec. Took apart my dads ski and stole his CDI for testing on my ski, this fixed my problem. The weird thing is my ski had no spark last night but today after work it had spark for a min then went away. I'm guessing that as the electrical components see...

I realize this is a three year old thread but I'm having the same issue. Here is a little background on my ski. So I have the carb off testing/changing pop off pressure and when I put it back on the ski and hook up the water hose everything seems to be fine. I go though the low speed adjustment...
