    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    That's like telling someone not to buy an el camino because they can buy a colorado. X2 is fine as long as you're not trying to turn it into a waveblaster.

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    I have a similar setup, but the 10/18, which is too much even with a couple more light upgrades. I think I was dialed in close, except the prop being too tall. If you wanted to use a larger waterbox and a right side exhaust, use a superjet waterbox and a B1 outlet. I have not done it but I...

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    My first and foremost advice is to take any advice with caution. I spent a lot of years modding my X2 chasing a level of performance I never reached. Here are some things I learned... No one with an X2 can tell you what to do. There is too much frakensteining going on. My Superjet was easily...

    Hull inserts, replacing/adding trim tube - best methods & materials?

    Packing with Clay or wax are both options. Leaving a waxed bolt in can work too. On a piece of my tray I could access both sides, I waxed the bolt and bolted it in from the outside then covered it from the inside. I didn’t do a trim tube but I did a cooling tube. I used thickened epoxy for...

    Need a helmet at daytona

    I just realized I forgot my helmet. I’m hoping to ride at 9am as soon as the zone opens. Does anyone have a helmet I can borrow / rent / buy for the weekend or the location of where I can buy something tonight? I have good helmets at home so the more affordable the better. I wear a medium or...

    Am I out of line on this ?

    Make your breath worse than his and then see what he says to you. Then give him the good ol' pot and the kettle comment.

    Crypto

    I'm not an investor. It's too much like gambling. My risk tolerance is very low. I've missed out on a lot of opportunities because of this. My thoughts here probably are worth as much as the stocks I didn't buy. Crypto is money. It's like buying Yen with USD. Money is like a stock. Buying Yen...

    2023 Daytona Roll Call!!!!!!!

    I'm going but I haven't ridden much this year. Not sure how the ski or I can perform, but will give it what I got.

    What killed the forum? How can it be revived?

    I haven't been here as much because I got injured. Some people moved on but not everyone sold their skis. Also the superjet went 4 stroke. Over 70 pounds heavier and a price increase. You can't go finance a cheap 2 stroke anymore. Low supply, high prices. Can't find a junk superjet and a junk...

    Custom water dispenser idea??

    Yeah. In FL near the shore, all we get at 50ft is salt or sulfer.

    Custom water dispenser idea??

    I think one thing missed here is that this is in my dining room. If I have 20 or 30 guests over, kids birthday or whatever, fridge dispensers and 6 bottles of water don't do the job. Also, the 2 - 5ga jugs I have a kept through hurricane season. The setup works as is. The cooler holds like...

    Custom water dispenser idea??

    This set of 6 is $25. I could run 2 lines in the top, 1 flush and the other going to the bottom, and put them in cap first so the flat part is facing out. That could be a really good option. All 6 is about 0.8ga. I wonder what kind of fittings would work best to put 2 1/4" tubes into the lid...

    Custom water dispenser idea??

    I just thought of bottles, and it turns out I can buy them in copper. I could maybe use something like these. 1liter each. $60 for 3, $100 for 6. Then I'd just have to put a fitting on the top and the bottom to connect them. I would be able to take the caps off and clean them out...

    Custom water dispenser idea??

    I have a water cooler that uses 5ga bottles, the same as you would see in an office. It's setup as a beverage area in our dining room. This cooler is next to a beverage fridge that holds soda. I had the idea of getting rid of the water cooler and instead using this...

    Blaster 2 carb questions

    I rebuilt my superjet carbs with SBT kits. I couldn't get the fuel pumps to stop leaking. I put the old OEM o-rings back in and it stopped. I got some WSM jets and they didn't even have the sizes stamped on them. Make sure you are not just putting parts in them. Make sure they are at spec, if...

    Has anyone made a shuttlecraft?

    In FL, a shuttlecraft doesn't require a registration. The ski pushing it covers the requirements of the registered vessel. The down side is that as a ski, it can't be used at night even with navigation lights, which for my intent, wouldn't matter. I'd also be looking for something that my beach...

    Almost disaster

    Be careful with a lanyard too strong. They can get wrapped around the bars and drag you.

    Has anyone made a shuttlecraft?

    Bump because I never did anything with this and I am still interested in the idea.

    X2 waterbox and snb 44

    I have not run this exact configuration but consider a SJ waterbox with a B1 outlet between the battery and the carbs. I think the stock boxes lack a high point except the header elbow and is the reason so many of us have running issues (water ingestion and weak bottom end). I did run a SJ box...
