So after getting beat up by my 550 all week. I'm no longer considering doing anything more with 550 hulls. I'm so fat and out of shape it's a damn chore just getting the boat out of the water and keeping it straight. Fun little boats but under no circumstances am i taking the thing for a long...

Because of pump tunnel?

Is it possible without serious reglassing?

Awesome. Just wondering as iv purchased one. Thanks.

Haha bro I just finished my first 550 rebuild top to bottom painted and everything. Was it amazing? No it's a 550. But damn she looks sexy and I learned so much that is not replaceable. I would actual suggest someone do up a 550 for there first project granted when they buy it, it has potential...

Listen, for a 1000 dollars and a pit bike I'd make the trade any day. You got a setup and a am hull fully set up. If you don't like it pretty up the hull and parts and sell it. You might be out the time it takes to make it nice but you'll get your money back. Life is about experience, good or...

Was running the low needle at 2 turns out for awhile and it would occasionally gurgle that would clear out with a little more pull on the throttle. I turned it 1/4 out and it got worse, so I screwed in a 1/2 and rode around for about 4 or 5 mins as low as I could to try and keep my fat @$$ out...

To what other ski?

Gangster

Only thing I havint nailed down perfectly is the off and onload. Since there is little room for a boat wench I used a 1000 pound come along raching wench. The come along is too small of a lead and again the scratching of the bottom of the ski is driving me nuts. The idea behind the stand is 2...

I may have screwed myself but I put a light bead of jbweld. I'm at the river for a week and if all I gotta do is mess with the carb after I'm done with all of this when I get home I'll be a happy camper.

Loosing prime. Single carb on a js 550. Problem was while I was tuning I'd ride up to the beach and turn adjustment screws as I'm in that portion (I believe) of tuning on the low end screw just to dial that in. Pop the hood off and I'd watch the fuel lines bubble back towards the tank. I wasn't...

Tighten the piss out of them and they work great. They have actually worked so well I made a stand for the bed of my truck out of them that doubles as a beach rack that's heavier then the skis basically. Only thing I don't like about it is the metal edges. They really do dig into the hull if...

Great work man. I aspire to have the knowledge you do. It took me close to a year to get a simple piston port 550 looking nice and running. This is another level. I told myself I wasn't gonna do another 550 but a 701 swapped 550 is looking really tempting.

I've got jb weld for now. Unfortunately I'll be at the lake for a week so I can tap a new fitting in the whole but I imagine that's the correct way to fix this? Any better solutions? This makes sense why my ski was loosing prime.

I have a 62t wave raider and I have deleted the oil pump. My instinct says I'm going to have to reset the high speed jets right? Anyone else have a bone stock raider with the carbs rejetted for oil delete.

Thank you. Runs like a top. Final jet settings are the 110 pilot jet with about an 1/4 turn out on low speed. Needle and seat is 2.0 with an 85 gram spring. The 125 main seems to be doing well also with a full turn out, although, i having been holding it wide open. I want to get a tank through...

Before I left I let the Cylinders dry out. Hooked power back up. Fuel lines on but fuel filter is dry And on a whim I said f@#k it and pressed the green button. Music to my ears. Far from tuned but God damn it's snappy and responsive for the few seconds i let it go sing. Will be on the beach...

Ga Gangster thank you.

Ya I know. If the balls coming, tee up and swing. Also I started pulling the fuel in line off while cranking but I'm fairly certain the deed had been done at that point. I'm out here in AZ now and was registering 3 different skis and I stopped by nasty nics motorsports (super nice guy who...
