The lake is owned by Gene's Powersports in Baytown, Texas. It was specifically built for racing skis with a concrete start and the entire lake is only 6ft deep. They let us practice there on Saturdays and that is where the first race will be held. Lucky to have a spot like this even though I...

Brought the drone out to the practice lake and met up with some friends to get in some laps. Had 7 waveblasters, a few standups and a couple big runabouts. Watch in 1080p!

Yep, gonna get that trimmed and installed next time I get a chance to mess with it. Have a busy weekend coming up though

Got most of the IPD Graphics on last night. Went with a little green to match the kawi power inside. Get 20% off IPD Graphics for your ski by using my code, "RFR-RHH-20"

Only update I have for now is that I got these billet aluminum rear blade style sponsons put on. IPD Graphics are coming in today. Will try and get those on this afternoon and get some pics.

Ok, had a good weekend with alot of progress. I got the protec nozzle setup powdercoated and got the pump all together and in the ski. Finished up building the engine and got it dropped in, aligned and mounted. Got all the cables & hoses routed and glued down the traction mats. I also went...

Ordered a set last night for my 1100 blaster. Will let you know how they are when I get a chance to try them out. I have the jam sponsons on my 701 and love them. I have some prowatercraft front sponsons coming in Wednesday too. I'm going to try a few different combinations with everything.

Trued & welded crank came in from @JetManiac and I got the engine 90% built yesterday afternoon. Just need to install the head water fittings, torque the head, put in starter, flywheel and stator cover. Should be able to go through carbs and make sure all is clean this weekend and drop engine in.

Thanks, I almost went that route with the extreem throttle plates but found a good deal on a used raddudes bed plate. My midshaft is threaded for a stock kawi coupler. I think ADA makes some kawi sized couplers with Yamaha threads.... Not 100% sure but I think I remember seeing something like...

Thank you! I can't wait to get more video of it here soon! Crank gets delivered Wednesday so there's a slight chance I may test ride it this weekend. Here's a proof of my graphics package and if you or anyone need anything from IPD Graphics, use my discount code for 20% off. "RFR-RHH-20"...

Did a little work over the weekend. Got the left hull extension on but will need to do some trimming to the right hull extension for it to fit around the exhaust. Removed the driveshaft from the old pump and built the new 12v Solas pump with new bearings/seals & packed with marine grease...

Big thanks to JetManiac! Got most all the parts in and the crank, hull extensions, IPD Graphics and prowatercraft sponsons are on the way. Once I get the crank in, it shouldn't be too long before I have it back on the water. Cylinders went from 80mm to 82mm so it will be an 1125cc now and I got...

Thanks, I'm running a custom pitched 14.5/18 Hooker from Impros

Haven't been on here much but figured I'd give an update. Most of the ski has been painted for a while but had to repaint the hood and I just picked it up from my friends paint booth yesterday. Sent my seat to Jet Trim to have the seat shaved and covered and had them make some traction mats for...

Yeah just bad luck. Was from a rod bearing going bad. Didn't throw the rod but a small chunk that came off got slung into the case and went through.

Ran about 8 gallons through it between Saturday and Sunday before it had a rod fail and part of it blew a hole through the bottom of the cases. Showed 57mph on my phone GPS which reads 3mph slower than a Garmin handheld so anywhere between 57-60mph which I thought was good for the first outing...

Got the top deck cleaned up, wetsanded and primed this afternoon. I didn't like the way the hood came out the first time so I sanded it back down and started over. This time, I got a friend with a paint booth and professional paint guns to do the spraying. This is after two coats of primer. He...

No, I got it from Carter Brackett who makes the rockered hull pieces. Pretty aggressive and can't wait to try it out.

Thanks Bill! Since I hooked up the fuel lines, I figured I'd fire it up and let it suck some fuel through the lines. Thru hull gets delivered Friday so the exhaust Is just dumping into the rear of the ski for now. I also had coated the sleeves and rod bearings with some oil so it's a little...

Got the tank in and fuel lines hooked up yesterday. Poured a little gas in the carbs to fire it so I could double check my wiring and all was good. I also got my double scoop rideplate in.... I need to get some different style bolts for the plate though.
