We prefer heavier skis in the surf because they handle the unevenness of the ocean , surf. They get tossed around less because they are heavier. Which is exactly my point. Heavier means less nimble and less suseptable to ketting kicked around in choppy surf. If you could ride in absolute glass...

And Im not saying losing 30lbs wont help. Im saying the rigid ski loosing 30lbs is far more niticeable.

I would agree if your 200lbs body was inanimate and was rigid like a brick but you are not , you put body english into the ride and if you loose 30lbs your ski is still going to perform the same because your body english is the same. On jetskis and dirtbikes you preload before a jump so when you...

Lets toss this crazy perspective out there. Your on a ski that weighs 300lbs and you weight 200lbs. Thats 500 total pounds. Then you put on an antigravitybelt that made you weigh zero pounds but you added that weight to the ski so now the ski weighs the full 500lbs , what would happen? Your...

I can tell a waterlogged X2 from a nonwaterlogged X2 by the way it rides. Ive owned and rode more than I could begin to remember and all the waterlogged ones ride the same. If I lost 30lbs it would help nothing. That waterlogged X2 would still be a waterlogged X2. Its not going to perform better...

If what your saying is true , why the hell would anyone pay $3000 for carbon fiber? Why arent people freestyling SXRs? They handle better why not flip and roll better? Most freestyle hulls are started from splashing the bottomdeck of the SXR. the difference is weight. Lighter is more nimble. Far...

I really disagree. If you weight down a SJ to the weight of an SXR but your body looses that same weight that nothing will change in the overall ride of the ski? Carving , slides , reentries , rolls , flips .... all the same?

But the human has the control and a 30lbs heavier ski is harder to toss around. If its harder to pick up a ski cause its heavier than before , like waterlogged foam , its not going to be manuvered as good as when it was less waterlogged.

So if you weight 200 and you drop 50 lbs but loose zero strength your ski will feel lighter and more nimble? Yes the ski is subjected to less weight aboard it but its still a XXXlbs ski , it didnt change. Yes your ski might get up n go a little better with less weight on its back but its still...

It doesnt matter how much you weigh or how strong you are , if you go from a heavier ski to a lighter ski you feel it in how you can toss it around. Body weight has nothing to do with ski weight unless your dragracing.

I would take no less that $1500 in my neck of the woods.

Ive seen pictures of 701 plugs blowing appart so I wouldnt use those.

Looking good Todd. Whens splashdown ETA?

Thats not a return line , its a drain line for the stock pipe. If your not running a stock pipe just block it off so water doesnt get into the hull.

Get the head and cylinder decked. Thats why it eventually leaks. Its not the compresion doing it , its uneven surfaces. Ive had the same problem before. But yes , you can tap a stock head just like the aftermarket head.

Yeah , not trying to beat you up , Ive made my share of mistakes. Just was wondering how you get them in the hole under such tight tollerance if they werent alligned. If it was me I'd take my hone and very lightly hit the cylinder to see how bad the damage was.

Your going to listen to group K over the people who designed and built the carb? What your saying is the needle pops off at 50%.

It doesnt got to be good , everyone makes mistakes.
