So my hand pole repairs are complete here are some pics

@SkiDiggity I view the fire extinguisher kinda like a race car that puts it's own fire out haha. Really though, if it's on fire I'm swimming away from it and towards the closest land. I wish that they weren't required on pwc's. Well it's much faster than the stock 650cc motor. Due to dealing...

So Luckily the lake is less than a mile away, over the past few days I have made several trips to a cove with a ramp. My steering was backwards, I have blown off exhaust couplers and bent the end of my hand pole. This is due to the massive amounts of heat put into the metal when welding. The...

So is the even being postponed to the following week? Seems as though that has happened in the past. 10-15ft waves sounds fun but 75mph winds and rain not so much. I apologize if you posted to the roll call section I haven't checked it.

So I got the ski running tonight still needs a few things but it's looking good for fall Carolina beach free ride. Here is a very short video of my second start up.

No, but I'm very close. I need to get on it considering the Carolina Beach freeride is next week. I need to get in a little lake time before hitting the big pond too.

Hopefully the beach won't be shut down again for clean up like it was in the fall of 2015.

All I have left is finishing the waterbox and hooking up the fuel lines for a trial run. Of course it will be a never ending build but now that summer is officially over I need to finish! I have been swamped with work lately and haven't had time to work on my ski. I would love to catch the fall...

Barrel rolls and backflip dreams huh? #metoo

Nice! Take a video and let us know how it runs.

So how much pressure are we talking about? And I thought it should be more like 10k rpm?

@BigV From what I read in the two stroke tuners handbook the smaller the diameter of the pipe after the expansion chamber (to a point) the more power and back pressure but the balance is crucial because when you go smaller the heat in the engine and exhaust will increase. Going to small...

@Vumad my bad haha. I was hating more or the "I know everything but have actually done nothing kinda guy." The truth is my chances of failure are much greater than success but, there is no greater feeling than success after a long journey of failures. I feel like any "do it yourself" kinda guy...

Thanks guys, I started getting notifications from all the posts and was that "what the h*ll?" Come to find out it's someone telling me to go back to what I already had, don't read books do math and build things. I wanted to reply with "have you been drinking?" but decided to let it go. I'm no...

It's an old thread but I figured I would post a couple pics of my garage/beach folding stand.

Your pipe looks way better than mine haha

I have been working on the jacket for the outside of the pipe. I still need to brake up the cone and add water fittings before welding.

@Wavecrasher16 I think that if I were to do it again I could do it better. I was just kinda guessing when building it, which turned into rework. The one that I made is -3 and the straight bars are -2 (I think). In order to make the pole you would have to have a plasma cutter or band saw...

I did the math months ago and that's what I came up with for size. I figure it's easier to make it smaller than larger. I'm not sure what kinda egt's I'll have with the dry pipe, the hotter the faster sound travels.

I have finally started working on my pipe again. Last night I welded the doughnut flange to my expansion chamber. It's offset downward at a 15 degree angle so that it has plenty of clearance and will run right into the waterbox. Keep in mind this is only the inner layer of the jacketed pipe, I...
