    how young is too young? 440 interest

    Do it! If I ever have kids they'll definitely grow up around jetskis. They don't have a choice!

    Fast(ish) swapped 550 skating around at speed

    A 650 or 750 turnplate is about 2 inches shorter than the 550 turn plate. That with 0 degree bars is about all you'll be able to do with the stock pole. I put a custom pole on my 550 that was 3 inches shorter than stock and used a 750 turn plate so in total it was about -5 from the stock pole...

    Fast(ish) swapped 550 skating around at speed

    I did a lot to my 550 hull to get it to handle halfway decent. Widened the tray 3 inches, deepened the strakes by 1/4 inch with wooden dowels and fiberglass, added tubbies and removed the rear caps. Another thing I believe helped was a shredmaster ride plate and intake grate combo. Eliminated...

    Fast(ish) swapped 550 skating around at speed

    Yes if the bottom edge is hanging below the bottom of the hull, it will cause all kinds of strange issues. Truing the hull will also fix this potential issue. If one of the edges is hanging lower than the hull bottom, it'll act like a brake at speed and cause random pitches off one side or the other

    Fast(ish) swapped 550 skating around at speed

    True the bottom of the hull. 4 inch pv wrapped in 80 grit sandpaper. Run back and forth up the length of the chines to true them up. Also where the hull.caps are. I removed them on my old 550 and the ski handled much better and turned quicker. Both of these modifications will help high speed...

    Budget Flatwater Backflip Ski

    Yeah that's as good of deal you'll find.. if you don't like the hull, you'll at least have a good powerplant and exhaust for another hull. A friend had one for a bit and did his first surf flip on it. With a kawi 750 engine and pump as well

    What hull?

    The Inverse hulls look superjetty but most definitely are not. They are shorter, wider tray, pole mount moved forward, rocker nose and are much much wider. I believe there's some other changes but I can't list them off top of my head

    Budget Flatwater Backflip Ski

    Only way I could see a 7500 budget being doable is if you have most of the parts on hand. I built my first superjet for around 4k or so but I already had a bpipe setup. I paid 1500 for the hull with a rrp pole and hood, a 93 square nose 650 and 95 raider both not running for 600 bucks but...

    What hull?

    Haven't ridden one, but those look very nice and the build quality looks top notch. I've seen one and talked to a guy at wavedaze or Daytona that had one. A -4 to -5 length with some rocker in the nose as well as the pole mount moved forward in my opinion is the perfect length for an all around...

    What hull?

    Kinda have to agree. Never personally ridden one, but had a friend that bought a new one when they came out. It had a 819 stroker in it, I don't think he ever landed a flatwater flip on it and he didn't have it that long. It didn't look to ride very well either. It's definitely a putt around...

    Is it a pain to drop a kawi 1100 into a blaster 2?

    The b2 has a 155 pump in it stock. I've ridden a triple b2. It was pretty decent for a b2.

    ATP single 48 carb settings

    What jetting is in the carb now? Could try going up one size on the pilot and 2 sizes on the main. Ex- 120p, 150m. Try- 125p-160m and see what happens. It's just about impossible to give jetting over the internet. You'll just have to start somewhere and go from there.

    Freestyle Bog after second or third trick

    Adjust your fuel pressure. I bet that is part of your issue. You'll probably end up with a 80 to 90 main jet in the return to get your fuel pressure to 1-2psi at idle and 4-5psi at wot. As stated earlier, it does sound a little rich to me on that 3rd trick. If it was lean, it would've most...

    When you see it and you already know

    He could've saved lots of time and money had he done a little do diligence research first. Kawi eboxes are pretty simple. Looks like he was missing a few pieces for the solenoid posts. Partzilla still sells those rubber grommets, and plastic washers direct from kawi.
