Another vote for Covercraft, top notch construction and quality.

The seals on the midshaft generate a decent amount of heat when the shaft is turning (typical of rotating shaft lip seals). It's only means of cooling are from when it is in the water. It's not entirely abnormal. If it gets REALLY hot, even with the ski in the water, then you definitely have...

In addition to the above comments, double check that your butterfly isn't being held open by the throttle cable adjustment being too tight. The idle stop screw should be controlling where your butterfly stops, not the throttle cable.

Because of the ideal gas law. As the vapor cools it reduces in volume (thus, reducing the pressure inside the can). Take your imploded cans and violently shake them, you should see them start to pop back out.

That is freaking gorgeous. Excellent work!

If the starter was still turning fast enough to crank your ski it's probably good. You can always bench test with jumper cables and your ski battery.

Holy *** Tim AND Chris! I miss you guys.

I think @Nate_D has proven he has the potential to accomplish anything he puts his mind into. It all boils down to a time/value proposal to himself.

This. The big HP sitdown guys are doing 4 stroke swaps into GPR hulls. Like @MTRHEAD said, once you get above 75+ mph, the pump tunnels can crack under the load.

Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished project. What's with the "turfing in a well ventilated area" business... you haven't lived until you turfed in a small enclosed room due to extreme heat or cold outside o_O

For what it's worth, I have a Snell/DOT approved MX helmet I use for racing skis. I wear it for rec riding too and have never found it to fill up or be excessively heavy or cumbersome.

Us old X'rs appreciate it!

Old X members FTW. Back when the threads where legit cut and glass builds. Now days I feel like it's just a classified section for flatwater boat parts.

I don't know you or Steven but we have lots of mutual friends that have had nothing but good things to say about y'all. Look at the bright side of this whole situation 1 - you will hopefully correct an anatomical issue and improve your quality of life, nothing good comes without some suffering...
