Based on how they work, I can't imagine how hull design would really come into play. The keeper is mounted above the motor mount and the interaction of the keeper is between the engine mounting plates and the motor mount base plate. In the photo below (from google) if you look at where they are...
I'm completely ignorant of what to expect for ride-times related to fuel consumption. I know this varies greatly from ski to ski, but I'm curious what I can expect based on my setup and some perspective may guide me in my tank selection.
What would be typical ride time for a superjet with a...
Anyone got a decent one for less than cost of a new one? I was planning to run a Westcoast silencer, but after seeing pix I think this would fit inside my rockered nose. Would also eliminate the extra water-hose which would keep things clean in the engine bay.
I got my front foothold trimmed up and drilled for mounting, and also added some foam so it fills between the gunwales.. before I turf/bolt it in place I switched gears and put down a few coats of Total Bilge epoxy paint in the engine bay...very close to assembly time! Still need my Wax...
Got over my fear of turfing and just dove in... Admittedly this took way longer than I hoped, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far ...
Defined lines

First side I taped and clamped in place as I molded it around the foothold and made my one seam inside the hold...
Ok, so when I tore down my eBay 61x it turns out it has a ported or at least port-matched cylinder...
OEM
Ported? (Before blasting water jacket and exterior)
Thoughts? Other than "looks like it needs a hone!" Haha we're running it as is boys...no time.
"Had" to powdercoat the last of the...
Heard if you paint the inside of the engine it braps harder ;)
"If your engine don't look like that ......."
(It probably runs at least)
Please excuse the workbench, I know where everything is within a few minutes of cussing at myself...
I have lots of updates, but life has been super hectic lately traveling to the east coast for work and I've been bad about posting... will post pix later... built my motor, acquired a mod chamber (waiting for Wax to ship the last piece of the puzzle!), laid more carbon inside the hull, mounted...
It sounds like it will fit just fine, but the foot hold won't reach wall to wall if that makes sense, so you will either have a gap on each side or you can fill the gap with foam/padding and then turf over it to make it wall to wall .. I'm getting 12-3/4" for the width of the hold itself and...
post dimensions of the front of your tray and I can help you out with measurements later if Tomski hasn't chimed in... they are solid on the sides so even if your tray is wider its not a big deal. I am running mine with gaps on the side but filling the gaps with underpadding before turfing so it...
Ok, I woke up this morning and shot another coat of primer, waited a few hours to lightly sand it, then sprayed two coats of Rust-Oleum topside paint with Valspar hardener thinned with xylene. First coat came out good, second coat not as good because like an idiot I switched my compressor off...
