First ride!

[Dirtybird]

On my own stand up (95 sxi). Rode my brothers some in the bay here but now I got my own. If you guys seen the post b4 about paint, I bought it from Rickster on here. Great guy btw :biggthumpup: We rode in the river, um yea thats hard :haha: and i'm pathetic, just wanted everyone to know. Heres some of the things I was telling myself on the water and I found out. "When in doubt, throttle out", "Lift up your skirt and pull your balls out", "Dont get to cocky, thats when you get hurt", "The faster you go the easier it is to turn, so stop being a **********" :haha: and many more. Needless to say this thing is really quick and has great throttle response and doesnt porpoise as much as my brothers 98 sxi pro. It chime walks pretty bad, but other than that a GREAT ride, oh yea and my knees are tore up. From falling over so much and trying to get going again and not get to tired. I can get up quick, but sometimes its tough to tell yourself to keep going. :banghead: Well out again soon, maybe next time i'll barrel roll :haha:

Awesome! I had a 95 also, fun ski!

When I shimmed the ride place with 3- 1/16th SS washers in the rear, and 1 - 1/16th SS washer in the front, it totally eliminated the porpoising but did add to the chine walk at high speeds.

The Ski now chine walks very similar to a SJ at speed. I though about removing a washer at a time in the rear, but just got used to it and forgot about it.

Sorry to hear your knees are as sore as a Inmate's on his first night in prison...:biggrin:

Now go ride that thing...:Banane01:

Congrats on the ski. What exactly is chine walk? I'm guessing it's the chines not gripping in turns and gives a sloppy feel. If that's the case then my fx1 that I just finished building is a chine runner! The thing is like a greased up 550. Got a ride plate, and scoop grate coming today - that should help...!

Chine walk is the ski moving side to side while on plane. It basically bounces from one chine to the other.

Matt, not sure what prop is on it, I think SFL put the prop on.

She sill get up on go though...

that was the prop that came with the ski. i know its stainless, but i think the stock ones are stainless. i honestly dont remember what is on there.
