FX-1 modified to run a Kawi 1100 triple and a 148mm pump. I dubbed this ski “F-neXt-1”. This ski was originally built with a Kawi 900 triple, then upgraded to to the 1100. It’s not a cobbled together piece of crap and everything fits and works very well. There’s a build thread here that...

Heading to Daytona to ride the zone Fri, Sat, Sun. Who else is planning to ride?

I built my orange FX (bad fish) years ago as a backup for my Frankenstein FX. Well, after doing a rockered nose and a 148mm pump conversion on "Franky", the orange FX felt too dissimilar to be a good backup ski. So, with Daytona only a few days away for me, I decided to tear into it! I started...

Let's start the wave chant.......Hurricane Humberto looks like it may give us some swell......fingers crossed!!

Check out this ill-fated prototype: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Jet-Ski-PJS-795cc-3-Cylinder-Prototype-Engine-High-Performance-New-RARE-/221193014779?pt=Personal_Watercraft_Parts&hash=item3380218dfb&vxp=mtr

Been trying to contact Dave at Impros for a couple days and haven't gotten an answer. Does anybody know if they're closed for some reason?

Was there a change in bafffle design in the RN waterbox over the years? I have 2 boxes in nice shape and if you look into the input side on both boxes, it looks very different. On the 2010 box you can see the flat verticle wall of the baffle, and on the earlier one there's a round piece...

I've had very good success with my 61x based ss865 ( http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/104032-61x-scream) and came across a good deal on a Dasa 850 top end and thought....why not? If it works even nearly as well as my 61x-scream does, I'll be thrilled. The cases need some pretty extensive mods...

What size nozzle are folks running with 148mm pumps?

We had an amazing good weather day in NJ yesterday and even had some decent waves to play in. Pro photographer Richard Dutton hooked us up with some good shots (as always...Thanks Rich!!) Here's a sample: Mark on a "borrowed boat"...

Since I finally learned how to post full size pics...

Just an experiment gone well........I wanted more power for my orange FX since putting an SS865 in my Frankenstein FX, but wanted something simple....so I built up an SS865 on a set of 61x cases and I'm running a Wetjet intake with a stock 46mm carb. This thing runs so sweet! It's absolutely...

It was time to freshen up my "Franky" FX. This was the first FX with a Kawi 650 pump and it has served me well, but after 4 years of beating the crap out of it and tweaking the hull shape on my other FXs, it was time to go back on the operating table! To stay with the theme, it has once again...

Things seem quiet lately, so I thought I'd throw out a couple teaser pics of my project. For peeps who know my "frankenstein" ski, I'm freshening it up a bit after 4 years of beatin' the crap out of it. I have 2 other running FXs, so I figured what the hell and started cutting. I'll save...

As titile says.....I'm looking for a measurement of a 750 scoop grate. I'd like total length and width, and distance between holes, if possible. Help! Thanks in advance!

Here's the latest project from my shop.....My nephew's FX. He just completed it in time for Daytona and I thought I'd post some pics. It started as a ratty a$$ blank hull and it came out really nice, especially for a first timer at ski projects!! check it:

Just picked up an amazing 1976 400 ski. It's completely original and unmolested....it even has the stock ride tray matt (no wear) and every little graphic/sticker from the factory. The throttle/choke/steering cables even have the factory grease on them....too cool! Don't know what the hell...
