OK Just pumped up that after adding a 144 pump and tubbies to my FX last winter I just ordered a 9/15 Hooker to go with it. Should have it in the ski by the time the Lonestar freeride comes around.

OK, just got my hull tonight!!!! Whopeee! I'm oficially an fx-1 owner! So, where do I go to get some good 144 pump advice. That pump is tiny and my 144, with cone and hooker 7/12 is beggin to brap that sucker out!

I did not find putting the 144 pump in to be that difficult. I have 1 season of riding with it and had no shaft or midshaft issues so I guess I got it all lined up correctly.
PM me your email if you want pics of what I did.

Thanks. I considered the kawi route as I picked up a 650sx with a trailer for 100 buks but I realy want to do it right. Sold the kawi to avoid the temptation. Besides, I have all the parts I need except the short fx shaft. no way am I dropping 700 buks to have some tabs welded onto my pump though. I think I'll spend the money on a nice welder first. Anyone try other methods of fitting the pump like special brackets or swapping the whole cavity from a doner ski? I have a vxr pro with shoe, pump and everything.

I am putting the shoe in this week. I do not see a need to mod the intake track as I learned the old pump shoe tapered in alot.

I found the pump installation fairly easy with little fiberglass modification.
That was last year.
This year the pump shoe and it is more work but should be worth it. I only had to use a little silicone to help match the old 122 pump shoe with the 144 pump and it still worked better than the stocker.

OK, good stuff. Thank you. What about the pump? did you have Bob mod the front tabs or what?

No I decided to make the ski fit the stock pump so that later on down the road I could just look for stock 144 pump parts. There are a few minor mods and grinding you have to do on a stock case but nothing normal workshop tools can't handle.
You have to remove the turf in the tray to fill the old holes and drill new ones but since mine was old and ratty anyway it was good.
Here are a few more pics of when I added the pump last year.
