Bevel out the crack. Fill with epoxy bondo, sand till smooth, re prime.

That's not what I said, I said it does make a difference

Making the hull "true" does make an improvement, i can say that from experience. Seems like the article I read (have been trying to find it again, unsuccessfully) may have misworded the part about adding resin to the nose of the ski. That was probably done more for structural strength and the...

Oh I'm sure it wouldn't really catch fire, I'm aware had the budget and knew what they were doing. Was mainly interested in how they did it and the effect on handling of adding ballast with resin vs just using lead, etc with more typical bracket type attachment to the hull. Why go through all...

Epoxy curing is an exothermic reaction and it's mass sensitive. More resin curing in one place=more heat

Read an article somewhere that mentioned one of jacob's race 550s had the nose reinforced/filled with resin...does anyone have an idea how much was added and how they would have done that without the thing catching fire while it cured?! Adding ballast weight is nothing new obviously but having...

This is just my opinion but for $650 or so for the jetinetics you're at least getting a brand new part that has a steel hub. It's on the heavy side for what it is and that's the main drawback but you're getting the durability of the steel hub. Taking a 20+ year old oem flywheel and then...

Yeah we definitely would need the sound and smell of real racing. Just go watch the vids of that electric mustang that does the texas mile lol

Imagine the occasional indoor jet ski racing/freestyle with electric motors. I know it's been done in the past but it'd be next level with all electrics

One thing I noticed was 95 octane. You probably should run 98-100. ada recommends 98 for 38cc 760 domes. Some may say that's not enough of a difference to make a difference but I am of the belief that you shouldn't skimp on fuel/oil. And that said there are many factors involved in why the...

Water ingestion and 4 strokes don't go together

With everything being 4 stroke from oem's, that may help attract more (affluent) people to the racing scene over time since you can just hit start and ride a pretty fast and capable machine right off the show room floor. That's about the only somewhat positive thing I can see from the change to...

We definitely need a brand new production flywheel for the zeeltronic. Having to use lightened stock flywheels that many of which are 15-20 years old is not ideal imo

Just sell me that cylinder lol They can be re sleeved. I spoke to dasa maybe a year or 2 ago about this and they have sleeves starting at 85mm using their pistons ($$$$)

Red scotch brite the crap out of it then spray it with epoxy paint using proper protocols

Also those two pc girdle studs like to get stuck in the cases if you put any significant torque on them. And I don't see the point of the Allen key slot In the top, just use a stud driver socket if necessary.

Also a short section of aluminum/stainless tubing with a bubble coupler/elbow to water box on each end that attaches to the stinger can help provide some more support at that end. And use a top quality manifold to chamber coupler

I would say no, it needs to be able to flex some. Up and over pipes like that one just don't handle big air landings well. And different designs addressed vibration/metal to metal areas better than others. Large foam blocks placed strategically may have somewhat of a benefit/prolonging of...

Also make sure the acorn nuts are not bottoming out on the studs.
