    FX-1 95 FX-1 Progress (PICS)

    It rips like a bat out of hell. It does porpoise a lot which is starting to bug me so I'm looking into a good grate/plate combo. Havent heard too much great about JD's casting work...so I'm not sure what direction to go.

    :pancake: Look a pancake. HONESTLY, you have the itch. You want a stand up to try for cheap to mess around with. I was in your spot 4 weeks ago, I had about 5 550's lined up that I was looking at and trying to decide which one I wanted. While I was in the process of that; my minty 95...

    I did, but I went overboard... wet sanded, rubbed and polished after using heat. They look great!

    Other Vented battery guys

    I just picked up a new Yuasa YB16CLB, just wondering what you guys do with the vent hose, do you leave it connected to the battery while its in the ski? Or disconnect it.

    Other Securing to trailer

    If I just let some length out on the winch and tighten it to the bow eye would that be good enough? I cant figure out where to mount the bow eye stop without having something welded up.

    Other Securing to trailer

    I just picked up a Yacht Club trailer, and I have my FX-1 sitting on it, I was just wondering how you all secure it to the trailer, there is like 2 feet of gap between the front of the ski and the bow stop, which is the "V" shaped stop for a boat hull. Thank you.

It was owned by an older gentleman who said it bothered his back to ride it anymore, he refused to buy a couch so he is retiring...
