New to the standup scene and wanted to build a superjet over a Kawi. I have an aquatrax turbo but it's just not as fun as a standup. I live in az and just picked up a sn hull and a donor vxr to put the sj together. I'm missing lots of stuff but I'm hoping this site can helps it already has with finding a hull.
Building first sn sj

So I got the motor, ebox, and pump out if the donor today. It only took a couple of hours, and just needed some basic tools. I'm pretty sure I will be locating a shaft that connects to the pump, and a water box. Pretty straight forward and simple project so far.

Waiting on a waterbox and a driveshaft then I can make some serious progress. Superjet stuff is hard to come by in az, so I'm having to order out of state.

Sweet project. Harvest the couches innards and revive the stand up. I have lots of square parts if you need anything.
Well dan if you have waterbox and driveshaft you should pm me your number

Post a list of parts you need. I have a few SN parts left over from my build as well.
Waterbox, bars, steering cable unless I can use the one from the donor, driveshaft, handlebars, chin pad for a round nose pole, maybe intake grate, knowledge and suggestions are welcomed lol.
I found a waterbox, and a driveshaft. Just waiting for it to get it here
I have a guy that hooked me up with the hull off of here. He's pretty much looked for everything. I got the main things coming in the mail.
So I finally got ahold of a driveshaft and water box. I noticed that the prop is an aftermarket skat teak and has a 4 and a 7 on it. Seems to be in great condition. Now that I'm looking at the pump housing though it seems to be missing a brass fitting. Is there something that I can use to fill the hole then putting the fitting into? Is this the right nozzle?

14/17 skat prop. Great starter prop
Fill that hole with jb weld then drill and tap for a brass elbow and run dual cooling.

What do I do with the old siphon fitting that comes out of the hull. What should I block that off with?

I run a siphon on all my stuff.
I assumed you had a newer exit nozzle with the Venturi setup for the bilge there.
You need a black rubber hose that works as a siphon to run the bilge on that setup. Unless you use the siphon on the exit nozzle.

So I finally got the ski put together and running. I couldn't get it to prime at first so I poured a little gas in the carb and got it to fire up. After a while of riding the throttle cable came loose and so I fixed it. After that I couldn't get it to fire up again and killed the battery trying. I still have to some bugs to work out like running consistently, new bushings and bolt for my rn pole, the steering won't turn all the to one side I don't remember which way, and I had to hack the battery cable for the positive wire to make it longer.
