This is an old pic. you cant see that the kevlar rope (actually its dyneema which is chafe free and not reactive to fuels,oils ) is actually also attached to the same front fasteners that were holding the base of the two straps....I have since removed the straps as they were too loose and in the...

That west coast pipe and water box is pretty good waking up the motor... I had a few of those in the day.......much better than any stock system...so I suspect you could have a pop off issue which shows up only on the water under load. Measure pop off on carbs and drop by 8 psi as a start...

Ok. Will send some pics ASAP.

Yes definately. 20 years now same dolly.....made alu hub and rims and used old atv tyres and tubes on alu dolly frame.....can take pics. Just needs access to alu welder and a wee bit of lathe work to fit the roller bearings and seals...very smooth and life time use

assuming that it was running just fine in the original hull....I would ask what exhaust system are you using now in the SX hull....it might be that your pop off is now way too high for a less restrictive exhaust...that would lead to bogging.....else stick with what Pro-pulsion said.

Hi I ended up using a stainless steel brap strap with Kevlar rope I bought from a marine supply store fixed to the hull in 4 places....it's in a thread I posted over a year ago......I can send more pics if you are interested....this set up is stronger than any rubber strap combo could ever...

The only thing that would not work in my SF badass build were couch mounts......they were too high...I had to go Rhaas Superjet mounts and then I still ovaled the holes so the motor and pump shaft could line up perfectly.

just a thought.......I once used grease in the waterproof connectors for the start stop and the the kill switch connectors..... just to ensure proper connection and to keep any moisture out.....very bad idea.....the grease was conductive and I lost spark becuase the kill switch wires were...

Polystyrene in rear end, some in front by the waterbox...modded from stock , 2/3 pool noodles cut up and shoved in engine tray somewhere, and then 2 inflated bladders from kayak origins easy to fit and inflate.....then......it floats very well in a dunked ski in the surf....for hours...tested...

And here I thought my dream ski would be a predator.....no longer in the market after reading this.......have a carbon bad ass SUperfreak.....well done Tem. Hats off to you.........amazing hull....can do miracles in the surf, my newly built richter FS ....heavy as lead but also bulletproof

Hi guys I bought a slightly used Rickter FS-1 hull from Iceman who lives in the UAE....I live In South Africa....he had no issues at all..paid him via paypal......shipped airfreight........hull arrived perfectly as advertised....great packaging, beautiful condition Tks ICE.....thumbs up from me !

if you could push it upwards another 1/4 inch...perfect....even if that means you have to slide it a lttel backwards to the rear end of the ski

If you mount them flush with the bottom, you could end up wobbly at speed on fast FW / glassy runs.....feels like chine walking but works great in surf, and for hard carving. 1/4 inch up....still great for flat water, and great for surf...

just a useless comment.... I towed a buddy back to the launch ramp one time (about 3 miles) but noticed my pisser water getting extremely hot, so we stopped to take a breather, When I re-started the near boiling water in my motor leaking out backwards down to the pump had softened the inlet...

if the carb jets were blocked, just gunked up, or fuel pump diaphram went faulty (hard or holed) or it was not getting an air pulse from the crank case....thats enough to blow that hole in the piston. open it up and check every possible part, replace most and blow all orifices out with...

check if that carb is flowing fuel properly....looks like it ran very lean and melted a hole in the piston.

doesnt sound electrical to me.....more fuel related does your fuel tank stay pressurized. ...release the fuel cap slightly to hear if air rushes out....if not fix fix the one way valve or find the air leak.....next issue could be leaking needle/seat.....do a pop off test to check this....next...

Agree with the electrics theory and timing possibly off.....dumping a cap full of fuel in the carbs should always get it to run or even scream for 10-20 seconds or so
