I really love the drones perspective. I could watch that all day. Side note, I really got to come check Hugo out. Is the surf always spread out like that? I'm used to getting smashed with 2 sec intervals in the panhandle.... It would be really nice to be able to catch a breath between waves.

Hell ya, keep it up. I can't wait to hear the ride report. I have a Rn I want to chop the rear on. Just can't decide on how much...

Let the rpm's settle down a bit so your pump intake track can fill up with water. Sometimes if the nose is to far up to get it back down, I'll get off the throttle and let it fall to one side. Once the nose leans over to the side enough I crank the bars in the same direction, punch it and away I go.

Pic of the nose, rocker with bondrail. To bad all the foam and wood filler used to shape this got destroyed by the Florida humidity. I was just about ready to lay down some glass on the outside and pull all the foam/filler out from the inside and then reenforce finish. Probably 10 hours...

I wish I had current pics, it's further along now than in the pics but I lost some pics. The blaster is in Florida and I'm in Africa currently. Anyways, I did something a bit different than you. It's kinda an expert with just chopping the corners... All taped up First piece of glass is...

Damn, I had to do the same thing to an impeller on a 1976 js 440. Piece by piece, the air chisel broke it away.

Yes it is a custom rear chop and front rocker. I do have more pictures but they are on my phone. Ill update with some pics. Ill tell ya what, you have a massive hole to fill! Id stretch duct tape from top to bottom on the outside of the rear. Epoxy will not stick to either side of duct tape...

Go ahead and cut ya a big hole like this. You will thank yourself later.

Damn, your taking a big step! Not even a ported 701 before jumping into a stroker.

Ya know I've never read the can... I just started doing it this way because yall said to back when I first joined the forum some odd years ago. So I just pulled up the instructions and what do ya know, we actually use it how it's intended to be used... crazy...

Its may seem redundant to coat each side twice but it really does make a difference when you build up a couple layers. If the contact cement isnt dry and applied to both the turf and rails, you will end up right where you are now.

I think thats a great idea, there will be tons of sexy skis there with all kinds of poles.

Is this your first motor by HPE? What are you coming from? Just curious, im excited for you and even more so for myself in the near future! Psst, i heard about the pistons today. Cant wait to see them... Matts paving a whole new road, lots of first in the jetski world are gonna come from him.

What exhaust do you have right now?

I personally love the sleek look of the x metal. I don't like the twin tube style, looks bulky and more like a kids transformer toy... I'd rather have a cut down, reenforced oem pole. There is also a

Lol, for a few i thought you did this pressure test on the OP's ski. In your first post you said "we did" and I thought you where talking about him. I was just wondering what the working pressure of a crankcase was to figure a safe pressure for the reeds, but i personally wouldn't wanna subject...

So what did yall find? Did you plug the chamber at the coupler end? Or i guess you could use some rubber with only the three bolt holes sandwiched at the head pipe to block the engine side.

It's likely the coupler or waterbox, like Mike said. Water should be leaking aswell as smoke. If you can't see it leaking your just gonna have to tear it apart again and inspect it closely. Pressure check the waterbox too.

Awesome man, I gotta do something like this.

Congrats on your first marathon! I cold never do this. I hate timing my self. I just open the door and start running, no route or time planned. I normally end up on the beach.
