Hey guys,
For those of you that I've meet over these last few years riding and PM'ing on the X who have been asking me all winter "get a superjet yet"? ... well, the answer is YES! Yeeeehaaa!!! I have been selling out my stock of kawi 750 parts, motors, and skis all winter, building a cash fund to put towards "1" new yamaha, with the exception of my black 750 and my girlfriend's 650, I'm almost out. Anyway, my superjet project has officially been started and I will have pics of the new parts and mods as we go. I have read builds threads like this in the past and I figured it would be fun to do one myself. For those of you who had the privilege to make it to Daytona this year, you mabye got a chance to see my SJ in person, even before me. It was strapped on top of Mark Erickson Fourunner all weekend. I purchased the hull from Wamilton in early January and Mark stopped at Wammers for me and picked it up friday before Daytona. It's now back up in the cold north getting ready for spring. I met Mark at the Eric Malone freestyle clinic this September and spent the weekend at his house in October hanging out and learning tricks at the shop with Ant Burgess. After riding some SJ's at the clinic and FSF, and especially after riding Ants white boat at the shop,(my armpits hurt for a week) the term "superjet" has been the focus of my preocupation for months now! So anyway, Mark is finishing up full carbon reinforcement by next week. The 24/7 sr-1 carbon hood, sr-1 carbon handpole, and nose piece are built, 24/7 footholds, scupper, and chin pad are in there as well. Getting the motor parts together now and hopefully starting the engine build in the next few weeks. Im going 8mm stroker, Lamey PV cylinders, Total loss, and Full Spectrums. 792cc. Our goal is to build a completely amature legal ski that will be comparable to a lightweight ski as a completed craft. My pole is weighing in at 5lbs and the the visual carbon hood at 3.5lbs. and at 3.5lbs hes says i wont break it, and im hard on equipment. he called me today while he was jumping up and down on a hood. Light, strong and powerfull is our goal! I live in Ohio and am about 6-7 hours from New Jersey, so my superjet visiting rights are limited by the Mrs. But, "Sabo" and I will be heading up there in a few weeks to deliver his hull and motor, and will have more pics updates on my SJ project! Can't wait to get up there and help with the stuff I know how to do. Here are a few pics that I do have so far. I will keep more comin. Got lots of parts here, and more on order, the old Master Card is smokin in my wallet! its gonna be so worth it in the end! So for those of you who asked, here's the start of my Superjet, and for those who didn't, Hi, my name is Kenny, I ride at Lake Milton Ohio, and I got a new superjet!!!! here she is.
