You need some tray time on a non flip ski first otherwise you're just gonna hurt yourself, or better yet sink said flip ski. Most all flip skis do not have bilge pumps or foam in the tray. They do not like sitting in thr water for long periods of time, they will take on water and will absolutely...

What are you riding now?

I like the 62t cylinder personally, that's what I run. Its a thicker, stronger casting less prone to cracking, and can be bored out more than the 61x cylinder. The only advantage to the 61x cylinder is slightly lower exhaust port timing I believe the x port is 1mm or so lower. That will affect...

There's 2 v3s in my group both with similar setups but both ride a little different. They're a pretty loose ski. I definitely like it a lot better than the v2 because of the longer tray. I don't believe the xfr I rode had sponsons either. There's soo. Many little things that dramatically change...

Not trying to be combative haha. Ive ridden one xfr wasn't a big fan of it, had a shorter ride plate on it and i prefer a longer tray. I couldn't see myself riding it that long of a distance comfortably. I'm sure it's more comfortable with a longer plate and pole. And body weight and size plays...

Do you ride your flat water flipping xfr 10 miles up and down the river back and forth too? Riding in surf is much different than river riding. Hell I doubt one could go 10 miles on a dasa 1100 on only 5 gallons. Maybe 1 direction.. some guys I ride surf with have a dasa 950 and another has a...

I think what he is saying is you're not going to ride a flip ski more than in a cove or circles for setup wakes. They're incredibly uncomfortable for anything else.

You gotta crawl before you can walk. Start smaller, get some tray time and get very comfortable riding before trying flips etc. Can't stand it when seeing people want to get into standups for the sole purpose of doing backflips. Those people usually leave the sport quicker than they started it...

the farrell carts are nice too, i have a friend with one. the treaded tires in the link are not beach tires they are turf and dirt tires. i got my bigfoot at daytona for 100 bucks that i completely rebuild. ended around 400 with new tires and wheels, bushings, turfing the bunks, new winch and...

i have a bigfoot beach cart basically same thing you have. i leave my ski on it for weeks in my garage. makes it easy to move around if needed. shouldnt be a problem at all. any beach cart is going to struggle in the sand without the special balloon sand tires. the smooth surface and large print...

A little windex really helps especially on a new coupling. I use windex specifically because it is alcohol based and doesn't leave any residue when it evaporates. Also need good stainless clamps to hold the chamber on..what I do is bolt the headpipe on but with the bolts finger tight, slide the...

Definitely does not get any better than watching good surf riding

The electric stuff will end the sport entirely.

It is possible to overcool the engine which can cause a cold seize so more is not always better. Ideally, the water coming out of the pisser off the head should be in the 120-130 degree range. 1 single line to the engine should be plenty.

No need for a water distribution block as your ski doesn't have 2 1/2 lines coming from the pump. I'd just run 1 line to exhaust manifold to feed the engine and the other to the pipe. This is only doable with 2 cooling lines coming from the pump. If your pump isn't drilled and tapped for a 2nd...

I think your cheapest route would be to find a mid 90s sitdown with a 701 or 760 in it that doesn't run. You can buy the complete ski for 2-300 bucks not running. Pull the engine and have 8t rebuilt. Then you'd already have electronics, mounts and carbs for your standup build..

i wouldnt buy a used engine like that to use for a performance build without going through it first. i wouldnt pay more than a few hundred dollars for that engine. i would be taking it apart to be ported and all seals and gaskets replaced because of piece of mind for me. that engine is most...

Ok

I have a black non girdled head that has jet maniac logo on the top that was on an engine for a few months at most. I should have the cylinder to case bolts as well.

Very similar to.a sbn but has a few differences.
