    Smoofers' '90 SN Revamp

    Glad I could help. I was in the same boat as you and tried really hard to find as much info as I could regarding the install. There's not much out there, sadly. To add to the above, if you use similar screw locations as me, #8 x 1.5" flat head stainless screws worked great. I found that the...

    Smoofers' '90 SN Revamp

    Finally started installing my Tom21 sponsons. Below is the test fitting process. Tom was great and helped me position them over email. One thing I learned the hard way is to use #8 screws to install them. I tried #10 screws at first and the countersink kept breaking through the glass on the...

    Old Man needs help with Pole change

    @FyrHazard makes a great bracket. Watcon also offers one as well. Both should fit within your budget. I have a Fyrhazard bracket on my SN. Originally I modified the stock SN bracket. I'd recommend not modifying the stock bracket as it is more trouble than it is worth.

    Smoofers' '90 SN Revamp

    Quick update. Laid more glass on the port strake and sanded it to rough shape. Repaired a giant crack in the nose lip. Didn’t show the first layer of glass. Feels good to actually progress on this again.

    Pro-Tec Exhaust Mounting Vibration

    If both cylinders are within 5% of each other compression-wise, your tester or method may be suspect. Make sure you're testing with your throttle wide open and a spark plug still installed in the hole not being tested. If possible try a different gauge like a loaner from Autozone or O'Reilly...

    Smoofers' '90 SN Revamp

    Small but game changing update in the build progress. With the tray finished I flipped the hull back over to work on the bottom. Full disclosure, I was procrastinating and didn't want to manually sand the strakes I had built back up with a generous amount of fiberglass. Originally I had tried...

    Will heat from resin damage finish....

    If you're laying up in a thin layer with a normal cure rate it should only get warm. The hull is a big heatsink. The resin gets super hot in the cup because it's a self accelerating reaction. The resin gives off heat as it cures and heat speeds up the cure. When you have a resin cup getting...

    Other Is anyone else in to HIFI stereo?

    I started down the hifi road a while ago. Currently running a set of Paul Carmody Amigas, with two Anarchy tapped horn subs. Center channel is a Carmody Sunflower. Onkyo receiver and a Rega Planar 3 turn table. Pretty happy with it. Edit: Forgot to add I'm running a Lounge Audio LCR Mk...

    Proud to call this guy one of my Close Friends..........

    @McDog I remember watching that video 2 years ago of you rescuing the boy. It brought tears to my eyes then and did today as well, while I was at work wiping my eyes hoping nobody walked in on me. You guys truly saved lives and did God's work that day. Excellent job by you and your son...

    Bought a Rickter, don’t know much about it…

    Agreed with this ^^^^. Your pipe chamber has gotten hot enough to burn all of the paint off of it. My bet would be that the head pipe screws are either closed or clogged. That's WAY too hot for your chamber.

    95 Waverunner 3gp, feels like it's in limp mode

    I had GP1200r with bad reeds. It would idle beautifully but wouldn't rev past 1/4 throttle. I would definitely check the reeds.

    superjet 701 rev issue

    Did you check your pop-off pressure when you rebuilt the carburetors? Are you running the stock flame arrestor(s) or aftermarket? If your pop-off is excessively high you'll never rev past idle.

    In TX you are required to be in possession of the certificate of number (reg card) if pulled over on the water. I keep mine under my tank strap.

    Superjet tray repair

    Assuming you're using the proper marine rated 2-part urethane foam from somebody like US Composites? It won't pop your tray with an exit hole as big as you have cut. Pour strategically at the bottom of the void and let the foam expand towards the opening. You'll be fine.
