I got one free,
The body and hull in great shape engine runs fine (we even tested it in the pool when mom was at work)

thanks for the input

Ride it ,maybe do some cheap mods such as ride plates,intake grates,maybe a prop,tke my advice and leave the engine alone,they get very temperamental when you start modding them.

i forgot it does it does have a prop, ride plate and a 7 gallon gallon gas tank o_O



what i wanted to do is install footholds.. maybe a few hand holes? pipe it and maybe a head and paint and thats it

NO PIPE AND NO HEAD! dont touch the engine....not worth it. anyone that has a kawasaki or has owned one will tell you the same thing. play around with fiberglass though...and painting is cool if you are into that. As far as engine goes, leave it alone. good luck man and keep rippin!

You would be ok with a pipe but leave the head alone,if it still has that funky 83 factory crap on it opt for the 86 and up stock exhaust it has the most bottom end you can possibly get with that engine.
 
put a 86 up pipe on it or aftermarket long pipe.put a head and bump compression likewise with static timing.it'll wake it up.a bigger carb helps as well.
thsese mods will still be reliable.

Yeah haha, well whenever you want just hit me up, I have a black and green 550 hull and pole you can have too, theres just not a title....you could always switch over your VINs on your other hull though, its just a drillbit and 2 rivets away...not that I condone that kind of stuff :sneaky:

OK I'm in the process of painting my 550. (black base monster decals) and i either want foot straps or foot holes. keep in mind I'm a teenager who's doing this on the budget. its only for doing minor tricks like subs. maybe a barrel roll in a year or so. should i be fine with just foot straps? thanks!
