Hoping she flies now, though I need a pipe, lol sell a...

    TUBBIE PROBLEM!!!

    I somewhat disagree, to my experience now, they seem to keep the nose down the further up they are, I could be wrong, but that's how I feel. If it was me, I would've lined the bottom of the tubbies up with the bottom of the hull, to give me the lighter feel...

    TUBBIE PROBLEM!!!

    TUBBIE PROBLEM!!!

    Well here are some pics, I think Shaun might have installed them a bit too high off the bottom causing the ski to want to drop into the water. Before I start hacking and wacking, anyone have any suggestions to mod these tubbies to help with my issue.. Maybe filling in the dip and re glassing...

    TUBBIE PROBLEM!!!

    Only 3. As for adding more HP that was actually my first thought lol Skibum is a Freind of mine and I actually had him install the tubbies, BTW yes he did a great job, but these tubbies just don't give me what I want.

    TUBBIE PROBLEM!!!

    I think the front of the tubbies are actually angled down, therefore pulling the front of the ski down. I have to hack these off immediately! Next week lol

    300/440/550 550 to 650 Conversion

    What I did was put a rag in the cylinder, and put something rubber or wood in the cylinder and bolt the head back on so the crank won't spin, then put engine in a vise and get a cheater bar, slip a large wrench in the coupler and give it a year haw
