I like the adjustable footholds from rrp and a front foothold as well.. you get the benefit of good holds that are adjustable and a wider tray too. Plus the buckets that get glassed in are much easier to pad and turf. The front foothold in the photo is a modified "pancake pete" hold but there...

Pretty interesting that instead adjustable screws for water tuning it has a spray bar right by the coupler. I've seen it done before in a similar spot and have considered doing it to mine

I'd be willing to bet the seller never actually ran the pipe, he got it for resale only. But looking at the chamber, it's definitely a high rpm more race oriented chamber due to the short length.

if you set up your indicator on cylinder 1 for true tdc, put the degree wheel on the pto side of the crank and lined up a tdc mark. then rigged up a pointer to locate the key slot on the snout. . youd need 2 pointers, one for the degree wheel, and the other for the key slot. line up the degree...

I would think a degree wheel would be most accurate

I have mini versiplugs on mine

I have not seen one aftermarket hull that didn't have a leaking tray.

That's actually a js440 hull. I can tell it's a js because of the tray, and bulkhead bearing block instead of the sx bearing on the bulkhead like the 650,750 etc has. The 91 and newer js440s were rear exhaust. You can get an adapter bearing for the housing that uses the sx style driveshaft and...

If your carbs are tuned properly you shouldn't need a primer. I don't have one on my skis. My freak sat in my shed for 3 months without being touched and I went to start it the other day. It took about 5-6 seconds to pop off. I do spray a fair amount of fogging oil down the carbs after each time...

m10x1.25 is the correct thread for oem. same as the case bolts. i may or may not have case bolts holding my pump to the hull. my superfreak had some standard sized t nuts glassed in when i got it. i removed them and glassed in some oem brass nuts.

I'm definitely a novice. I've been doing machining for a year and half I'm still wet behind the ears haha.

Nice! I also run a lathe and bridgeport for work. Love it and do little side projects all the time like that.

The pole on my shortened rockered superjet had the bars a foot in front of the hood seal area. Pole was very short and needed to be that way to get the nose to stay down.

I used 1.5in vacuum hose on mine. For the pole spring I used a modified sxr 800 pole spring. The blowsion superjet spring did not fit. You can run a through bolt. Jet maniac sells them.

Yeah don't move the pole back. The bars at the rear hood lip is the ideal spot to have the bars. Use some cabosil and a few layers of glass to cover the holes and drill new ones that line up. If you intend to do any aerial tricks you'll want the pole forward. Don't make any changes like that...

I always out the pole on,and route cables etc first then the engine last so I'm not having to work around it the entire time. You'll figure out what works for you the hull when it comes to assembly.

Gelcoat is also heavier.. I sanded all of my gelcoat off on my superfreak and painted it with a base clear. I've also had decent results with spray paint. Need a good primer coat and light coats on the spray paint. The last coat you can lay it on thicker. My old superjet in the pic was painted...

At the end of the day, no.matter how much time and money you put into, it's still a 550. A larger lore stable and powerful hull that can handle the Power and put it to the water is the better choice

I took my superfreak down to bare glass because the gelcoat was in rough shape. I spent over a week straight just sanding gelcoat with a random orbital sander. Riding season is here at least in the south if it were me, I'd build it and ride it and make sure you like it then over the winter, do...

I'd definitely remove the pole and glass over the existing mounting holes and drill new ones as well. You could also sell the x metal pole for a rrp style that has more adjustability. You think the pole is too short now but you'll find out once you ride it that you'll want it shorter. The ski...
