Just curious since I'm about to go through this myself. You don't advise rejetting to the specs FP recommends? Not trolling or anything, just want to know more. I'm also a bit lost on the FP plumbing directions, a diagram or flow arrows on a picture would be really nice. I'm probably gonna...

Cool. Mostly I was also throwing out the idea of custom shaped bladders, companies like http://atlinc.com/marine.html make custom shaped bladders for racing fuel cells. Didn't know if anyone had used a vendor like this to get a custom fitted under tray float bladder, I could see it as a...

For the record I did search "flotation bladders" and "flotation bags" it yielded pages and pages of seemingly unrelated results. I may be a noob here, but I'm in no way new to the internet. The search functions on forums are usually not helpful unless you know the title of the thread you are...

Just an idea from the kayak world, since foam tends to water log what about putting inflatable bladders installed under the deck. It should weigh less than foam and work better. Maybe a put a Shrader valve sticking through the bulkhead on each side to keep it pressurized. Something like...

Awesome powder is about 1% water (10 kg/m3). A large high speed avalanche can produce deposit densities of about 50% (500 kg/m3). The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Numbers from The Avalanche Handbook by McClung/Schaerer. BTW - MattE, I wish I had spent more then 10 seconds thinking...

I was thinking about this a bit more. An acoustic/strobe light beacon that could be epoxied to the sides of the ski with a pressure actuated switch would probably work well. Put one on the nose and each side of the ski. That shouldn't be too expensive to build.

Yeah you appear to be correct. 457kH (avy standard) is way too high to go anywhere in water and very low frequency needs large antennas. So yeah MYTH BUSTED.

Don't know how well it would work in water but I use avalanche transceivers all the time during the winter. Maybe get two, throw one in a pelican case and sink it on a buoy and see how far you can get signal. If that works its just a matter of getting them waterproofed and making a nice ski...

Shouldn't you be sitting behind a sewing machine or something instead? :nana: ..... or pissing off couch riders on facebook.

Shot you a PM Steve

I've used both snowboarding, never jetskiing, and I think the Contour is better for helmet mounting since it sits on the side and not the top (making you look like a fool). The ContourGPS and + do some cool things, like links to an iPhone over bluetooth so you can use it as a viewfinder...

Anyone looking for a hull, pole, gastank, steering (R&D plate with blowsion 4deg bars)? I'll have an 04 hull for sale soon, some minor scrapes but in solid condition.

Keep working on it, that thing kicks ass.

Try Driven Fabrication and Upholstery out of WhiteMarsh MD, they have done a bunch of blaster seats for guys around here. Should be able to put some hand holds into it for you. http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=379497...

2500 euro is $3130 USD. That's a very good price, can't imagine that shipping to the USA would be more then $500-1000, which means its still at a competitive price with hulls made here. Do you have some more pictures of the adjustable foot hold setup. Looks like you machined some nice...

I have a SixSixOne Evo mountain bike full face helmet. I got it on closeout and I think I paid about $85. I like the MTB helmets, they are a bit lighter then the MX helmets since they don't have to meet DOT specs. It doesn't seem to get waterlogged. Though I think that a full face white...

OOh I've got a few of these from my heyday at the shops. To the rabid bike messenger guy who doesn't own a car: Please don't stand so close to me every time I swap your Conti GP's out every other week because somehow you ride 1000 miles in two weeks, you smell awful. Also why do you ride...

Nah it could be stamped out and have pretty much the same form as a glass ski, as GSXR Mike describes above your post. That said, I think that a roto molded hull (like kayaks) with aluminum inserts for engine/pump mounting would be the way to go. Can you say white water jet skiing? The NZ...
