And for that very reason I will never run an extinguisher in my bilge.

At 20lb that f-er should be strong.

I was in the same boat as you some time ago. Always thinking if I would be missing out on a lot of power because of that last $200 I wanted to save. Maybe I can do this now and that soon after. Contacted builders and made my decision based on the conversations. Dead reliable and more than I...

Front exhaust only ?

You need to come down to Estero Bay. Our local cops like us and even let us play in their wake (as long as no one is around). They pull over couches all the time.

Why ? Let them hate on the squares even more. That way we can enjoy the $100 hulls while they spend all their money on making their "pretty" skis handle like our junk. :wave:

Moby Dick couldn't flip that thing.

It gets damn cold for us locals but the Canadians think it's summer. Wetsuit is a must IMO.

Duct tape in the first aid kit for ski and rider.

Sexy. How about more info. Who built the motor ? What hull ? Will I be able to ride it ?

What about them ?

Can't beat a pipe for $50. Mill your stock head if you don't want to spend the cash for a new one. Maybe bump your timing. A prop will be a HUGE improvement. Don't know what budget you are playing with but a nozzle wouldn't be high on my list of mods.

For the bolts you could find a scrap 650 or any old Yamaha couch. That's all they are good for anyway.

That's just a guess. The opening where the starter goes through did get beat up a bit as it was wiggling around in there. Maybe the thing wedged in on an angle and pried the cases apart ever so slightly ? Just found it funny that the leak was right there. I have been told that hard AM motor...

Chuck, always a pleasure and my doors are always open to you and Sherri.

Well, it's been just over a year with the motor so I figured it was time for an update. In the past year the motor got a real workout as we get to ride all year, a rough estimate would be 100 + tanks of fuel went through the carbs (and some salt water from time to time) which isn't hard to...

I just popped onto the site to do a 1 year update of my motor (still freaking love it). Chuck, on here or in the real world you can always consider me a friend.

If an organised group with tools and supplies shows up at a Red Cross station at first light than I'm sure they will get an escort from the National Guard to areas in need. The elderly will be hesitant at first (scared of scammers) so just start cleaning and they will soon realise that you...

That is a great idea, very rewarding. Spent 2 weeks cleaning up after Hurricane Charlie and never met better people than those who just lost everything. Just don't bother with FEMA to tell you were to go, Red Cross was much better organised.

The news is no longer The News. It's an entertainment show looking for stories where there are none. Still, the general public buy into the hype and Home Depot had plywood flying off the shelves today. Funny as hell. I remember a few years ago we were sitting in a bar watching the storm...
