Great video posted at just the right time. :cool2: Bunch of great people having the time of their lives. So, where do I send the funds for the DVD ? :thewave::brap:

This thread has some ideas. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/8516 I have $90 in my setup, the lawn tractor wheels made up most of that. Works rather well although I will be adding a winch onto it soon.

One mans trash is another mans treasure. I had a freaking blast running up the beach and pretending like I can actually ride a wave. Didn't have the nuts to try a BR in no feet of water but that never stopped Cracker. :barrel::barrel::barrel: Can't wait for the next one.:bananajump:

Unless you love doing subs. That shovel on the front should get you all the way to the bottom of the lake. So, it's either crash the nose or a suicide sub. :arms:

What's the news ? How big are the waves ? It's killing me that I had to miss today just so I could go to work for an hour. :banghead::banghead::banghead: Now I'm all packed and antsy.:cheer:

A while back I asked the same question and was told that all you can do is drill out new pivot holes on the bottom. I think you can shorten it by about 2" and that's it. There isn't all that much you can do with that pole so try to find a stock RN one. Well worth it.

Here's a link to the original thread for those who missed it. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/13683&highlight=jet+dreams Never saw that video until that thread so I downloaded it right away. Those guys had some style. :Banane09:

Just AWESOME John is top notch in my book, great communication and the item was like brand new. Shipped it out fast and did I mention the flame arrestor that I just got looked like brand new ? Well, it did.:bigok: Plain and simple, no one should ever hesitate to buy from John. Thank...

What time does the park or at least the part with the boat ramp open ? I want to be on the water as early as possible so I have to calculate a departure time from home. Also, the wife is talking about not going so I no longer need a fancy hotel. For all I care I could sleep in the car but I...

Winter is fast approaching in your area, right ? That should have a bearing on price. I picked up a mint 90 with a pipe in the most expensive time of year for $1300. I think I overpaid but the thing was just too nice to pass up.

Can they burn out ? I'm sure that eventually they would but at $10 a piece who cares. I would rather burn out a bilge pump or 2 rather than a single motor. Yes, I do leave mine on the whole time I ride and have a p-trap or loop. Since every switch I have tried so far hasn't lasted I just pop...

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I can't remember the house number but I can always swing by if it's that important.

And I thank you for posting that very thread. I purchased the same thing you ended up with saving my self the hassle and the wasted money. :biggthumpup:

and the boom box playing the motor tunes. :bananapowerslide:

Don't bother with a cup, I tried it with my ski when I firs put the scupper in. I held the scupper shut with my hand and the ski was doing OK. The moment I let go the scupper there was a rush of air and the hull started going under.

The stock setup relies on trapped air in the bilge to add buoyancy to the hull keeping the breather tubes above the water line when the ski is inverted. When you relieve that air pressure the hull quickly looses buoyancy and starts to sink dragging the breather tubes below the water level...

The scupper doesn't let water in, it relieves the built up air pressure in the bilge thus allowing water to replace the air quicker.

I used duckbills on my couch and they did a great job. The only problem with the duckbills was that every once in a while a piece of zip tie would get stuck in them keeping them open just enough to let water in. Not a big deal but I did almost sink my couch once when it was docked.

I'm sure that the water will try to close the first valve but with the ski bouncing and pitching you never know. If I have some time tomorrow I will pick up a couple valves and try to rig something up. I never had an issue with my current setup (single one-way and a scupper) but this sounds...

Something like this ??
