300/440/550 Welcome a new rider! 300sx

[98mkiv]

so my daughter got her x-mas present, a minty fresh 90 with her name on the handlepole. Bone stock for now.... Withthe help of some granite state skiiers we already have a spare motor to work with. Also hunted down a mariner pipe.... Thinking to port the motor, reeds, mill the head and maybe switch up to a sbn38. Got thoughts to make a 500 single out of the motor via a stroke and sleeve.

I know its a lot to put into a little ski, but my daughter is 13 and keeping the light weight ski light makes sense, plus I like building the motors. All of what i had plans for is cheap except for the crank stroke and an impeller. Her 300sx is so light sompared to my 800, i dont know the actual wt but it feels much less.

Does anyone know if a 550 pump will bolt in to the stock mountinng pads? Propshaft the same? That would save me the hassle of a 300sx 12/16 pump. The 550 pumps are plentiful and cheap and if I go with the stroker wont boil.

My daughter Bella is 13 and already knows she doesnt want a sit down.... Ive done something right

Excellent. When my daughter was old enough to ride legally, I asked her what kind of ski she wanted. She said " Dad can you build me a superjet and paint it red?". Makes you feel good inside. Yes, she got her red sn.

yeah, she's pretty excited to get riding.

the 300sx is a 650sx hull so isnt the pump from a 600sx?

 

[98mkiv]

The two are vastly different hulls, not even close.

 

[RutlandRacing]

you're thinking of the js300.... the 300sx and the 650 are similar...

 

[RutlandRacing]

look at my icon, thats a 300sx... you can drop a 650 right in and not have to change anything... try and tell me :arms:

totally different hulls

 

[DarkWater]

Sorry mate, completely different set up.
Almost nothing from a 650sx will bolt into a 300sx hull.
Sure they look similar at a glance but that's it.
I have owned several of each.
