here is my 07 sxr

[hillbilly550]

had some free time so I thought I would give some info on my ski

07 sxr I bought from sc in dec of 07 (it was 5 months old)
brought it back to ohio & we had a 65 degree day so took it for my first ride, that was efn cold. took it to daytona to ride it the second time & had a blast. I cracked the pole on sat & so began my obsesion with improving an already kick a$$ ski.

I started with;
Dales jet sports handle pole.
0 deg bars
odi clamp on grips
tbm hood hooks
pulled intake boots

first 2 pics are the ski on its ride home from the south
other 2 are more recent but shows off the pole

I like the way you roll in the first pic!!!!

 

[hillbilly550]

I had to pick up some supplies on the way back into Ohio. we cant get ying here

so after daytona I realized I needed footholds so out came the saw. So I called john @ jet ski haven & ordered lustic footholds blowsion rail caps & a bilge set-up.
I also had him send me an aluminium bed plate while I was at it. -2.5 pounds

 

[hillbilly550]

more pics of foot holds going in

I after I ordered the blowsion rail caps I found the jet trim ones & liked them better so I ordered the trim caps & they were very nice. They fit with min trimming & had a nice finish.

 

[hillbilly550]

my first time turfing, I got a med sheet of pad for the deck & a thin sheet of pad for the tops of the holds. Full sheet of black diamond hydro turf & lots of sniff'n glue,,, I mean contact cement

 

[hillbilly550]

some more of the turf

 

[hillbilly550]

the turf & holds were done so out came the motor.

replaced the bed plate with the aluminium jet ski haven plate.
cut out some glue. wow is there a lot of that in there & I am not done yet. I will finish this winter as I got tired of cutting glue.
installed a light billet coupler -100 grams from stock
reinstalled the engine in the ski & went riding

had some problems with my loose hood so I made a hood stap & got rid of the hood latch all together

 

[hillbilly550]

so 2 months ago I found an 06 sxr with the full group k 832 sleeper..... so I bought it, much to my wifes shagrin.

swaped out the top ends, carbs, cooling mod exhaust, cooling lines & fittings, cyl head, lightened flywheel, impeller & bored nozzel.

also put the works scoop grate on & it was nice this weekend @ Indian Lake (very rough on the weekends) but I need a stock intake for waves.

also a pic of the doner ski

 

[hillbilly550]

glad I pulled the motor when I did. I found the fuel inlet line was rubbing through on the air box.

pics of the rubbed line, and after I moved it. also a pic of the bored nozel

 

[hillbilly550]

I have also put on a TBM throttle & rd pump shoe stuffers.

I will be making a call to impros for a prop shaft seal as mine came out again this weekend. I also have a TBM pump stuffer to go in when I pull the pump

I am looking forward to see the diff with the pump cone. the big bore is KICK A$$$$$. I had a blast with it this weekend

 

[Proformance1]

My fuel line did the same thing. Very nice build, keep us posted.

 

[ses601]

nice job! did all those cases come with it :beerchug:

 

[willycrumb]

You bas-tard. How dare you post a picture of all that Yuengling to tease me!

I was just talking about how much I wanted one yesterday. :Banane35::Banane35:

 

[hillbilly550]

stopped off in knoxersville & picked up the yuengling on the way home. its all long gone now. Im going to Dale Hollow sept 25-29 so I'll be restocked after the ride home.

 

[hillbilly550]

so, I finally installed the TBM pump suffer with freestyle cone, that should be fun in daytona. I also cut the ride plate off flush (no D cut Yet) to see what that does with how it rides.

I think I'm going run the stock intake grate for daytona

I'm putting on a handle pole limit strap also. If I have time I will cut the front hood baffle out & plug the front inlet.

 

[Scorn800]

Nice Boat.
Keep the aftermaeket grate on

 

[djkorn1]

I disagree. Keep the stock grate on for slashing waves!

 

[hillbilly550]

I'm going to try the stocker to start. I ran last half of the summer with the worx & it seemed to really grip. I think with the pump stuffer, cut ride plate & stocker it should get back some slide.

I'll have them both so I might swap them out just to see the differance on the spot.

any pics out there of pole limit straps installed?

I picked up a stainless u-bolt & carabiner for below the latch & just tied 3/8 line around the bar plate. dont know if that will work but for a qwickie install it should work. got to find a bungee stap in my piles to keep light tension on it.

 

[hillbilly550]

so,,,, I thought I would add, the TBM pump stuffer added a noticable bottom end hit.
Also after a month or so of waiting, apparently they had made some design changes to it, my new TBM charging fly wheel came in. hope to install it this weekend. I also got some new grips for it to help keep my hands from slipping into the controls. Now its time for a diet. :burnout:

later

Can someone explain how/what the pump stuffer is?
