Hmmm I wonder , I have been rodeoing for a while now.

Whats about to happen here is am am going to designate one day a week to work on my stuff , this week it was Saturday , then as I get skis sold eventually it will be one or two days a week working on customers ski and the rest working on my stuff.

Yes mainly the mounting terminals and customer are weird about things like that , of course these same customers have no issue putting a riding lawnmower battery in their ski and not strapping it down, I like to keep stuff as idiot proof as possible on customers skis.

Not lately , I am trying to finish the 300SX and the 650SX customer build but yeah it's been hella busy here .

Damn you, you are making me put way more work into blending these tubbies on this 300SX than I wanted to !

I saw a roundie in NJ for $300 on Facebook market place and I also saw this one : https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/453450680511601/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A33eb0f84-8c31-41f7-8b15-0436ed2bb5a8

Look I will be the first guy to say that anything can be repaired but there is a point where some things shouldn't be repaired , I believe you have reached that point. These Metton hulls have some weird stress characteristics , I say this after repairing tons of them over the years , I have...

One thing I have noticed unlike most metallics this paint sands really well without turning the flake up on edge , that's important since it has to be sanded to be cleared. On old school lacquer .paintjobs they did a lot of sanding between coats and a lot of coats of both base and clear coat ...

Post in this thread it needs all the help it can get : https://www.x-h2o.com/threads/x.209500/

So this is the money shot , I had to take it early this morning to reduce the suns glare , but the results are stunning and it's not even clearcoated yet, buried under clear I will look even better . I ended up scuffing with 400 grit and respraying the whole hood with Perfect match Universal...

Rode it at Lake Jackson in Florala today , so technically I rode in Alabama and Florida today. The ski ran beautifully, i would say I had no problems getting up on it but that would be a lie, there is no turf on the ski at present and I didn't even thing about the underpadding that is still...

So late last night I tried to fire it off again and the starter was pulling massive amounts of amperage, today I ripped it back apart , got a starter of a junker Waveventure 1100 , changed the end caps ansd reisntalled it. While I was working on it a plug wire pulled right out of the CDI-coil...

There are some pits in the trenched part of the cases , the part where the bearings ride looks good, case mating surfaces are good , gasket surfaces look good, on a couch motor I would run them all day long , If I were building something super nice I would look elsewhere. Like I said they...

I am thinking shipping will cost me at least $25 shipping, that puts the cases at $75.00 which makes it worth more to hang onto than to sell.

Here you go they still need a bit of cleaning , a good bead blasting would fix them right up, no broken bolts all the threads have been chased with a tap so all good there as well. I don't see any signs of any kind of repairs done to the cases either

I got her fired off today , I had to pull the starter off and get it unstuck then clean up and grease the end bearing , it's sounding really good , I am going to try it out without the training wheels and see if I still got it or if I have lost it lol. Hopefully I will get it in the water Sat...

I built a ski with a 440 pump and a 550 reed motor 1991, I rode that ski for years , then I put the engine in my 300SX and rode for another couple of years. Between a 440-550 and a 550 powered 300SX I will take the 300SX hands down any day of the week.

The batteries came in today so it took three days, I don't think that was any fault of Battery sharks though , tracking showed it parked at the Montgomery post office for way too long otherwise it would have been two days shipping. They are on charge now, I always charge before installing a...

I got a call this morning saying my account was unlocked , well $200.00 of it is there is more still pending that they are holding. Well at least that is something.
