    144 solas mag 12 vein

    FWIW, i've been running this mag pump in my Chan for like two or three seasons, completely problem free. 95% fresh with salt on occasion. My pump was assembled by Jetmaniac, so maybe thats the difference. I guess i'll send the new one to him for assembly and the adapter ring since I forgot to...

    Backie-Chan Tank Options

    What motor/ carbs are you running? I can ride for over an hour with a 771 and dual 38's on a cart tank. I have a 550 tank sitting in my garage, I guess I should look into swapping it over. Anyone have a picture handy of how they're running the 550 tank? I have a first gen Xmetal water box...

    What's your view look like today?

    This was my view 5-6 days ago. Took a vacay to the Gulf Coast with my family and my parents. Rented the house you see in the back ground. Already want to go back.

    Tweeker industries at it again !

    So when are these actually going to be available for purchase??? Obviously the more time you have to wreck your hull the more opportunity you have to improve your design. But at some point you gotta call it 'gud e knuff' right?

    Trendsetterz Phantom

    Not sure if the Trendsetterz guys intentionally created this thread so it would be drama filled and therefore get a lot of attention and exposure for the Phantom.... Or if every thread that is remotely associated to them just ends up being a poop talking fest.... even if the poop isn't about Steve.

    360 attempts in surf, looking for feedback

    I have a Solas 144 Mag with Thrust EZ Flow trim. I've ridden some skis with the Xmetal trim that had the Bpipe coupler mod, and the difference is remarkable. Unfortunately it was such a huge difference that I was getting thrown off the ski when trying to do a slight turn. So I never really liked...

    Trendsetterz Phantom

    Just now seeing this thread lol. Hull looks sharp. Kinda wish I was going to WF now. I think an 850 148mag is enough motor, thats what was in the first Chan when Steve brought it to Daytona how many ever years ago that was. Concerning this debate/ "lets see who can be the biggest ass about...

    360 attempts in surf, looking for feedback

    Here is another photo. I have quite a bit more but photobucket is crashing my PC, and I can't get the 'upload a file' button to work. Now that i'm looking at my photos, it appears that my ski is rotating around the nose, not the center of the ski. I'm not sure how to 'fix' that.

    Nice video! You guys make it look easy! I wish the surf on the Texas Gulf coast was more like that. The waves down here are spaced seconds apart and they don't have a long slow even break. At least when not when I have been riding.

    360 attempts in surf, looking for feedback

    Awesome feedback guys! Wow thanks! I tried to hit the wave at a 45* angle to help carry more turning momentum. The waves were pretty inconsistent so I was working with what I had. I don't think I do a good job of turning my head all the way to the left although I recognize that I don't do it...

    Based on how i'm spinning, it looks like I need to almost lean back. The tail of the ski is always higher.

    360 attempts in surf, looking for feedback

    So, its probably not a secret that I lack the sack to do a BF on my 771 Chan... But what I do enjoy doing is "flat spins" with the goal being a complete 360. This appears to be difficult on my Chan since the bottom deck is SXR inspired. Meaning.... it hooks too much in the back and doesn't want...

    Surfriding Ok I'm a newb. Acceleration breaking up after riding surf

    Sorry for not updating this. I went to the local parts store, picked up new plugs, gapped them at 25 thou and it's really helped a lot. I ran two tanks through it yesterday and it only broke up a few times and it was minor. Same issue happened to my wife's ski, plug change with a tight gap and...

    Surfriding Ok I'm a newb. Acceleration breaking up after riding surf

    I tried starting it after I rinsed it off and re-routed the plug wires and it did the same thing. The Mosquitos here are unbelievable. It hasn't been worth the additional blood loss to mess with it tonight. I'll try bumping the plug gap down tomorrow and see how she does. Thanks for the advice.
