Freestyle New to superjets

[papadon]

It was about time I got myself a superjet.
After many kawi skis (440/650/750), my first surprise on this superjet was the crazy bottom end!! I have no clue about the top end, I have ridden it 3 times up to now and this was in really choppy seas, it was not possible to pin it. It has an ada girdle head, factory b pipe, ported cylinders, prop, some kind of aftermarket handlepole, wamiltons hood and many other extras. The ski needs returfing and paint, this is a job for the winter. Also the electrics needs to be sortened out, I think I will just remove everything including the stator and send them to jetmaniac for a rebuild.
Got loads of parts with this ski, one box full of sbn carbs, including a set of riva billet 46mm sbn's, advent ignition, riva girdle head, 2 62T cases, 5 cylinders(some of them ported), extra hood, extra handlepole and many other things.
I need to sort them out when I go back home.
Really impressed by the superjet!!!

That is either Lenzi's old SJ or Brad Lustics.................. Hate to see you repaint that!!!!!!!!!

 

[papadon]

I had no clue about that and I would not imagine how a ski like that could find it's way to Cyprus..
I found some videos of Lenzi on YouTube riding a ski with a paintjob like that and front exhaust. Looks almost the same.

Nice choice. Enjoy!
There is a super funny animated video with 2 guys debating Yamaha vs Kawasaki... which is appropriately Superjet biased. I can’t seem to find it, although I know it was on the x-h2o site. If someone can find it, please post it here.

Is the hull stock or AM?

The hull is stock with front and rear exhaust. It is reinforced on the sides up to the hood lip and the nose under the handlepole bracket. I am working with fiberglass many years now, the reinforcement on this ski is not an amateur job. Also fuel cap has been deleted.

It also has a skat trak pump nozzle with up trim, but the trim cable is frozen. Plus dual cooling, I don't know if this is standard on superjets. Basically every part of the ski except for the hull and engine cases is aftermarket. I don't know about the pump yet. On first look someone has blueprinted it, has some kind of aftermarket prop and top loader grate. I also got a 155 pump with the ski, complete with nozzle, shaft, prop, wear ring etc.

You are lucky man! Would love to ride mx and Jetskis around the Islands!

 

[papadon]

Can anyone pls identify the type of footholds fitted on this ski?
I want to buy a hydroturf kit but there are many different foothold options.

Repainting................................
Wamilton painted that hull.........................

This was my old hull, Originally built for Pat Bogart by Wamilton..........

If the paintjob was in good condition I would not touch it, but it was peeling off in many places and was really not looking good up close.

You gotta do what you gotta do some times. It probably looked worse in person then it did in the pictures. Nice ski, looking forward to the finished product
