Hi all,
I recently bought a brand new kawi 440 and started tracing parts for a conversion ski with 140mm pump.
I have already a full rhaas pump conversion kit, tubbies and a 650 ported motor which was initially intended to go to this ski. Missing some parts but I am not in a hurry for this ski.
I have previously built two conversion skis, one 550sx with 650 motor (550 pump with 17 pitch prop) and one 440 with 650 motor(440 pump with 17 pitch prop, bulkhead brace etc).
A 750 sxi pro appeared on the local ads and went to have a look with the intention of buying parts for the conversion ski. Finally I bought the complete sxi pro and a lot of other parts, including a second 750 motor in parts, an sbn44, a riva carb, a RN SJ handlepole, several 650 and 750 intake manifolds, top loaders etc.
The sxi pro has been fully built by the previous owner, has all sorts of aftermarket parts on it but is in need of some TLC. The motor has a fresh crank and pistons. I tend to get very meticulous with my skis, so this would mean total dismantling of the ski for inspection and putting back everything together with new turf, seals, bearings, cables, maybe also fresh paint. No evident fiberglass work is required on the hull, it seems to be in very good condition. The hood on the other hand will need some work.
I am away from home now in Hong Kong for work and didn't have time to ride it.
Final question is this, I know how a conversion ski handles and I like it, I have never tried one with a big pump and that was the initial intention.
Is the sxi pro so much better in handling that it would be better to keep it as it is and fix it or I would be better off parting it for my conversion ski ??
