I had a BOB gen 2 and even though it was fun I thought it was a terrible rec ski, sucked for chasing boats or riding distance. It was a great flat water trick ski and would flip super easy but that where it ended for me. Used it to learn some tricks and let it go for a Rickter FR2, even though...
My sxr did this once, it had sand in the cooling line at the pump. Put the hose on the flush out and crank it up, should flow out the pisser and the pump. Make sure water is coming out of both. If this doesn't work check the elbows on the head and make sure there are not any small rocks...
Is this similar to the SurfSlam event where it is open riding for non-competitors? Have been to surfslam for the last 4 years but never attended the Grayland ride and want to hit it this year
I have a Rickter FR2 which is a bit heavier than the FS2, Has a dasa 850, mag pump with a 10/16 hooker and it will not f.w.b.f. It just does not go high enough so it always hits the nose on rotation but with a good boat wake it works. On the plus side the ski is absolutely awesome and I love...
Just let you know that BOB test was ? My BOB Gen 2 sunk straight down after getting swamped. Fortunately I was only 8 feet off the shore by then. I also have the Rickter FR2 and the sealed hood is great but I think the biggest weakness on any of these boats is the scupper valve, when the boat...
Congrats!! This is how it starts. I bought my first ski around 91, it was an 87 550, then a 92 550sx, couple more mixed in there throughout the years. Now I have a 800sxr, a gen 2 BOB and a Rickter FR2. One of the best addictions ever!
Hmm, I'm definitely curious to see if he can make this work. We run a lot of 2-stroke carbed turbo sleds here in Idaho and if they are set up right they work perfectly, no turbo lag, etc. But we also have a dry exhaust and clutching.
BOB gen 2, 9/15 magnum 144, just pulled out my dasa 850 and put in a Thrust freestyle ported and girdled 701 and it rocks. Motor and pump combo are unbelievable!!
I rode yesterday 47 degree air, 40ish water. 3/2 wetsuit with an extra top, helmet boots and gloves. Pretty good but my motor would not warm up so I quit and installed limiters in the pissers today. Water here will be in ice form shortly but its still good out there.
I had the opportunity to see this ski in action at surf slam(at least I think it was this one) and it was sweet! One of these days I hope to get a chance to ride one and many other am hulls out there. Where I live I either buy it and bring it into our market or it doesn't exist, up side is I...
