Lost At Sea

Nice!! Glad to here. Reading this story the other day made me sick..

I would rock the rashed up sides as a reminder of what could happen and for the story! Fix what's broken, but leave the battle scars!

So glad you found it. Need to do a restore/rebuild thread .

Pulled the motor completely apart. Split the cases. Pistons are fine. Cylinders need a resurface but look great. Crank is done and will need to be rebuilt. Head is untouched. Case is perfect. Stator was already on the way out and had already bought a new one but never installed. Flywheel is fine. Ebox had some water but I think will be okay. Need to test it.

All motor components are now clean and salt free. Soaking in a few buckets of two stroke. The rest of the parts are clean and still intact. Definitely was super lucky and will be able to re use most everything.

Glad you found it!!!! If you need some smaller build parts, I'd be glad to help you get back on the water!

Reading this gives us all a reminder that mother nature can be a cruel mistress but i'm glad that you have lived to tell the tale and it's amazing you have your ski back albeit needing a bit of love.

Hope you get her up and shreading again soon.

I absolutely love when horror stories end like this. Can't believe that ski washed up with the hood still on!

Good thing you had a ratchet strap, and not a hood latch.

Absolutely great writeup! Glad that both you and your ski survived. You and your ski are both surf tested now. Hope some others will read this and learn.

Great to see a good ending to a scary story!

Just out of curiosity what kind of flotation do the tiger crafts have?

dang. could have been worse.

Glad you got her back. Imagine how your ski felt, all alone and under water.....

..in the dark....

....with the sharks on a full moon...

Seriously glad you are ok, man. What type of helmet was that? This scenario makes me want to switch back to the cascade brand white-water style helmet. But lets start a go fund me fo you and your group to all get tow ropes!

Not sure but she stayed afloat for a long time under a lot of punishment from the waves before going down. I would say it took maybe 40+ waves to get her to nose in.

I believe he uses the pink foam, but haven't cut into mine. @Jyzmbe might know.

Just reread the OP. @OldSkool You arent a professional writer are you? Its paints the scene so well.

Can't wait to see you rebuild the Krash.
