Good tip! Thanks, I'll try that next time. I'll see how the top loader grate performs, if it's not great I might be able to weld a couple of vertical flat bars in it with my tig I was thinking. Last time I took the boat out I went to the feather river. man is is LOW LOW LOW this year.. I was...

Few updates, I need to take more pics soon, but heres where I'm at: I've been running this boat everywhere. I got one pretty good sized dent on the bottom from running some rapids. This boat will do about 2.5" of water. Me and my girlfriend topped out at 38.6 MPH on some glass, usually run...

Don't soda blast anything you intend to weld. Fine particles get into the metal and make it a PITA to get nice looking welds.

I've got a working tach I can wire in no problems, I might do that.. but don't have/want a console

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THIS THING IS FAST.................................. Finally got it out on the water for a real test. How was the day? Freaking awesome! ABSOLUTELY NO CAVITATION. This thing shreds through peoples wakes and 1ft of chop without missing a beat. We had 3 people in the boat and I...

also need to know which water line to put my jabsco filter in line.

Yeah so the guy who did my blockoff kit did it wrong. It fried the gear that runs my timing wheel. I'm stealing the motor from my other ski now, and switching over the oil block off kit. This time I will attach a power steering reservoir to lubricate the bottom end. Instead of running 2 stroke...

This ski has an oil pump block off kit installed on it... So I run premix. Is running premix sufficient to lubricate the gear train? Or do you need to leave the oil pump partially hooked up...?

Yeah it definitely doesn't budge at all when I turn the PTO

What is this plate and why is it covering one of my cylinder holes. I assume it's normal but it doesn't open when i turn it over

Chased down another loose end... the woodruff key looks great. Maybe it could be the coil? One spark looks stronger than the other, though both are bright blue. Heres the key.

PSG, I've read somewhere where you recommend egg crate foam for noise reduction. I'm sure that works well, but are you worried of it being flammable at all?

Aw man my build won't be very friendly for that. Got about 6" of room in front of the mag until I hit my firewall.

I guess I will have to check the woodruff key next week, after this fishing tournament I'm preparing for. Is the PTO easy to take off? I assume I have to take off the jet pump first-hand right?
