Can someone give me the info on water boxes? I just bought several skis, one of which is an X2 with an engine. This ski has a head, pipe, carb, K&N flame arresters, possibly a trim set up, looks like a lot of the good stuff. I haven't gotten it apart yet to see about the crank, flywheel, etc. It has numbers on it, some glass damage, and appears that maybe it was raced.
What has me, is that I wanted to pull this pipe (or rebuild this engine for my ski) but there is no water box. Why? I don't see why there'd be preformance parts on this ski and no water box. The pipe goes to a U-shaped pipe the routes the exhaust out the back of the X2.
The best I can figure is the waterbox is mostly a silencer and they ran it w/o one for more power (like race cars). I know that would make it a lot louder, but with the exhaust in the water, how much would it matter?
Anyway, I skimmed search and asked the question in my build thread and haven't found an answer. Any comments on the topic??
