The motor pic without the pipe was in my SJ, the others are in the Matrix

A little work and matching of the exhaust manifold, pistons on and then the cylinder.

Cases together and crank in. Jetskisolutions rebuilt stator and a TBM flywheel. This was one of the older RRP TBM's. I had to change it out for the new style when I added the ATP EPIC ignition as the magnet spacing caused the EPIC to freak. Crap, I just looked up and it's snowing. It hasn't...

X-Screams case port work was beautiful

I happened to have Cory's DASA (SS) 85 mm cylinder when I got my 89 mm (SS) X-Scream in. They are both works of art. Port timming are similar but shapes are a little different. The DASA cylinder is about 3 lbs. heavier. X-Scream clears more alum. around the cylinder to give more even cooling...

The Motor I bought the Team Scream standard stroke (SS) 865 in Nov. last year. I've been running it for a year in my SJ and now put it in the Matrix. What's a ski build without motor build pictures? So here is the pic's from last year when I received it.

The foot hold does not wrap around and lock your foot in. It's open to the side, which allows your foot to release and slide out as you go over the high side to the left. I have the same fear as you, with my bad ankle and knees, I want be able get out when I bale and I'm a baling fool!

A couple of side shots

The pole is an X-Metal adjustable, they are so much cleaner and lighter than the RRP poles to me. I don't like a stiff pole without a spring. I found that you can drill a hole in the nose of the pole in the same place as the OEM pole and use about any aftermarket spring that mounts that way. You...

I hate internal fuel fills, so I got this trick filler cap from Brain at Thrust. I used a radiator hose as a filler neck. I had to beat a dent in the top of the waterbox to clear it. I glued rubber over the dent to protect the hose from the WB and to hide my fine work. Boyer says he used a...

The turf! What can I say, it was a total PITA!!! It took lots of heat to make those bends

Then I glassed over the foam. The foot holds took as long to do as it took me to do everything else on the ski. I stuck a few scrap pieces of turf in the foot holds and rode the ski. I found they were too tight, so I came back and ground some more clearance and re glassed them. I have to do...

Then I glued blocks of pink foam with contact cement to above the foot areas and shaped them with a rasp and sand paper

Then I layed the base holds with numurous layers of cloth

After butchering the glass, I started shaping the foam. I had to add some two part foam here and there, shape with a rasp and sand paper, then fill the little areas with spackling, the only thing I had that would dry fast and sand easy. I roughened all the glass around the cut outs with a 24...

Now to the foot holds. The Martix tray is over an inch wider that a stock SJ, buy not as wide as I like. Also, because I have a fused subtaylon joint in my left foot, I can't turn it out. So, I make my own foot holds that keep my feet facing more forward than out. I also like the tray wider...

Back from a Christmas trip, where did I leave off. Pump is in, the trim cable was 1/2" too short. Got a 4 mm coupling nut, drilled and tapped it to 5 mm, cut the threaded end off a long 5 mm bolt, then screwed it on the end of the cable to extend it. This X-Scream trim has lots of travel, I...

I drilled and tapped for dual cooling. I ended up removing the alignment pins in the stator and rotating it 180 degrees to give clearence for the steering cable when the trim was pulled. I had to grind the steering nozzle to clear the trim ring arm and to allow for max up/down, left/right movement

Now the pump. I added a new couch modified drive shaft from Chris (Jetmaniac) to replace my almost stripped stocker. I had to grind the crap out of the top of the 96 Raider nozzle to clear the new X-Scream trim ring. I did a little clean up in the pump, added a TBM super cone with a 13/19 C-75...

The glasswork inside of the hull is a work of art, I told Bobby that he shouldn't hide it with paint, he doesn't want to give away his lay-up secrets
