If you want to have the same feel, but make it rest closer to your hood (or natural riding position?) you could use a torch to heat the coils until the pole sits lower. Just don't go too far.
I've seen the aftermath of polystyrene. Not pretty. Sticky, actually. Since the rear cavity NEVER seems to get fully sealed, oil and gas contaminated water worked it's way into the rear and dissolved the poly. It then proceeded to bleed purple goo out of any gap it could find.
I'd take...
When I defoamed my RN, I said "Screw 2-part, polystyrene, AND ping pong balls!". Really, that's what I said. Anyway, my hull is fully reinforced nose to tail with no foam (except in front of the pump tunnel). Strong and light.
It's an X2, so it was pretty much designed to sink from the factory.
Try running it on the trailer IN the water with the hood off, and look for leaks.
And a good bouyant handlebar pad helps right the ski a bit. search for a X2 build by Crab. He made a big fishing net float work on his.
If it weren't for that article, I'd have no idea who Sean Kingston is. I fully expected the article to be about Vanilla Ice. (but he rides WAY better than most famous people)
Replace the bearing housing for sure. Follow factory proceedure for shaft replacement, too. Any brand pump shaft is fine (WSM SBT OEM). Snapping off the back of the pump shaft makes me think you have overtightened the prop or may also have bad pump bearings.
I didn't see the wheel lift off, but it sure looks like the armor plating on the bottom of that rig caught on that metal thing sticking up out of the pavement. Can they just get him a stretch Hummer with dubs already?
