    any ideas on getting the ski more water tight? So if i got it right, are the ares circles in red the taper and the step that needs to be machined out and made smooth? And if i get all this blueprinted, would it be as good as that pjs afterburner pump?

    Cool thx that would help. Also when you say lighten the flywheel by machining it, Would you have a pic that shows it? I'm guessing it must be done properly so its all balanced etc? This is what the new hull, the 440 looks like:) And thats what the garage looks like:) Thx

    So the other half of the pipe is attached to my engine? Would that be good enough? From your advice "get the reed engine, get compression to 180ish psi, 44mm sbn, a/m exhaust mani and pipe, waterbox, get the pump blueprinted with 15.5 or 16pitch impeller and ocean pro outlet nozzle and you...
