Found the leaks!

Defoam project begins!

Those are some of my favorite hulls if they have a sj bottom. Nice find!

Best boat I have owned achually. Not a backflip only hull. Handles the chop and high speed runs. Rotates well in the air and very tight. Motor, driveline, pole and steering smooth and spot on. I like the 2008+ hull better than the previous generation. Just gives you a little more bite on the...

Had to modify the rrp bracket to accept the xscream hood hooks. Added 2 more fastening points to the bracket and removed the flimsy oem metal hood hooks. I did this mod after the hood hooks bent on a 3/4 roll off a wave. Also bent the hood side hooks as well so replaced those with cold fusion...

All three b-pipe bolts stripped out of the manifold. The bolts that were originally in there were a little too short. Maybe 5-7 threads had a grip. Ordered new longer bolts from Jetmaniac and installed 20mm stainless time serts. Fixed!

Was hoping to avoid wrenching on this ski but it has proven to have tons of salt related issues. Nothing time and $$ won't fix.

Already time to Defoam. While riding the other day the tray began to swell up like a ballon. Possibly busted water line in the hull. Then the boat started listing hard to one side. Drilled a hole in the tray and pumped in compressed air. Cracks on both footholds and air coming out of a water...

New decals and hitching a ride on the speed boat

Humm...... So as it wears i guess it will get better . Everything spins smoothly and I don't feel any vibration when running.

Installed a new midshaft housing, bearings, midshaft, seals and coupler. Motor and pump seem to be aligned correctly. What could cause this issue? Bad bearing? I thought it was the crank bearings going but midshaft was much hotter than the crank.

Motor specs: SS827 cc xscream PV cylinder. Pump gas 49 mm full spec carbs Boyesen rad valves and intake B-pipe and head pipe bored to 48mm MSD enhancer Lightened 61x flywheel Pump: Oem C75 swirl 14/19 (I think, reworked) 85mm bored reduction nozzle Stock cone

Salt water seemed to the culprit in a lot of the repairs. Swelled the mag pump which is still out being repaired. The rrp fat bar steering had to be replaced bc the top clamp had a broken ear. No one sold just the clamp?! All hose clamps has some for of rust and some just broke as I was taking...

Big thanks to Jetmaniac! Huge help In Getting this project back on the water. They have every part I needed big or small. Must have ordered parts twice a week for a month bc little issues kept creeping up.

Picked up this ski a few months ago and have been rebuilding little things ever since. New steering cable New midshaft housing New midshaft New couplers New pump bearings New midshaft bearings Xmetal waterbox New clamps everywhere New water lines New fuel lines and filters New exhaust gaskets...

Yes. I bought it off Gump. Good deal and couldn't pass it up

Yes. Sent the mag pump out to be reworked and running a stock pump now. Wammer 07 hull with xs865, full specs and 144 mag.

Sick set up. Very robust design and very fine machining. Quick shipping too which about gave me a heart attack. My rrp systems clamp cracked. Looked like it was made of a cast material. Hopefully this will last the life of the ski. Very nice thick bearing. Easy install on rrp cast pole.

I currently have full spec 49's on my 827. It does hit nice but I feel it is just a tad too big of a carb for that engine. Still runs well but was thinking idling and all around performance might be improved with 46's. Peak power may suffer but all around might be more crisp. I think it will...

SS865 riders. Do you prefer SBN 46's or 49mm full specs on these motors?
