Custom/Hybrid BOB Gen1 Build

[Owen18]

Hey,
Just though Id show you some pics of my new build, its almost done, needs a pole and bracket and a few finishing touches.
The tape on the graphics is there to hold it as it re-glues and I need to re-turf the foot hold as you can see.
Specs: BOB Gen 1 #32 Lengthened Intake Cavity.
Yamaha 760 with Pro-Tec Pipe
Pro-Tec Exhaust Manifold
K&N Air cleaners
Ocean Pro Steering Nozzle
Most likely an aftermarket pole, probably x-metal
Maybe new graphics.
Possibly trim soon, just want to ride it,
Pro-Tec Lengthened Intake Grate
Aftermarket Impeller, not sure what pitch it doesn't say.....
Im sure I am forgetting lots of things, still some to do, hope you like it
Looking to be the youngest to FW Flip this beast

Thanks guys, Yeah I might need a pole eh? HahahahYeah it went to gether so easily, The Ebox went in so easily, but tyen my pipe chamber would fit, so I had to make a bracket to set the ebox to the left do it wouldhit the pipe I can get a pict if you want sure

Hey man sorry I posted my last one with my phone at school
Lots of spelling mistakes.
Ok I cant really get a pic for you, you wouldn't see the mount
Heres what happened.
My ebox went in perfect but then my pipe hit it and would not go on the manifold.
So I bolted the left mount (when looking in the ebox) reversed and took two pieces of metal that I had laying around and mounted them to the ebox and mounted the ebox in. Understand? Haha might be hard to though

Sounds like just the way i did it

 

[Owen18]

Just an update, cleaned entire hull, routed all the correct lines and made them neat,
pealed numbers off and looks great just a pole and pole bracket and its ready to ride!

What's the first US event you're attending this year? (There's a schedule in the NW section on PWCToday)

 

[Owen18]

Ill check that out let me figure it out, definitely lots this year, BOB dealer now, have to get my name out there!

 

[Owen18]

Columbia River Icebreaker maybe.... Not sure how much FW Freestyle on that one
Apple Pie Jamboree ....same thing not sure about the freestyle never done V-wake
Tinkertown Throwdown- almost for sure!
Grayland Open- YES!
Blowsion Surf Slam- YES!

 

[Matt_E]

There will be freestyle and probable v-wake at Icebreaker.
There will be FW freestyle and v-wake at Apple Pie Jamboree

V-Wake is awesome! You don't want to miss it. You get so much air and the wake shape (and size) is perfect for easy (EASY!) backflips. Plus it's a huge crowd pleaser.
Try to make it! I believe Pateros (Apple Pie Jamboree) is pretty close to you.
