I'd have been bitten harder if Bobby's hulls were softer when you land on them - LOL! Doc today said another month in the walking cast - if I try WaveDaze this weekend, there's a good risk of re-breaking the last of the fractures before it's healed. Ughhh.... Ryan

I started to get all panicked trying to find my Delaware boater's license. Ripped my office apart, then it dawned on me... I'm 37. Oops.

Any left?

If Wilkey finds other digs, I'll take it if it's in the Quality Inn. I booked a room at the Ramada but it's pricey - I can cancel it by Thursday. Ryan

Even though the Ramada site showed sold out, I was able to book on Expedia. Ryan

Getting closer. Used my standard tools to start the turf job - range targets and beer! I'm not 100% happy with the padding yet - my blade was dull; will clean it with a new blade before turfing it. Engine is in, wired and the fuel lines are ready for the tank. Steering, pole and...

Any suggestions for other hotels? I can't book till later today after the ortho doc gives me an ok to take the cast off...

Getting closer... engine tomorrow, maybe turf. Trying to get it in the water this weekend.

90-93. The rebuilt midshaft I was going to use was a 94 - seemed too tight, was only able to get it threaded halfway on. Ryan

Temporarily, yes. I have a set of cold fusion ones for the build but i think one of the threads is wrong (or the intermediate shaft was wrong); shipped them back.

Pump (144mm mag, 14/19, Thrust ez-pull trim) was assembled and painted black. Boyer's just looked too sexy in black, so I had to copy... :) Shimmed, installed - got the intermediate housing in and set up the dual bilge pumps (Blowsion bracket) and mounted the MSD stuff to the aluminum piece...

You better - you need to do this thing justice in a couple of weeks at WaveDaze! Ryan

I've had an R1, a CBR1000RR, a 1098S and a 1098R. Ducati was the only one with maintenance issues - I flogged mine every other weekend at the track and stuff breaks. Bang for the buck, I'd go with a new R1 (twin-ish torque off the corners, chassis feels nimble like a 600). I'm thinking of...

Why not? I was actually going for a cheezy geek reference... Matrix = Red 'Pill' or Blue 'Pill'...

Paint got wrapped today, should come home tomorrow and I'll start assembly. The hull will get wetsanded and buffed once it's together - easier than trying to hold the hood by hand.

Here's a little xscream pR0n while I wait for the hull to get back from paint...

Good - paint work should be done mid-week. Engine is here, just waiting on the pump and a few smaller components. Fun should really start later next week. Ryan

For what it's worth - I've got a XS1000 from XScream, a SS846 (Xscream, assembled by Thrust) and a SS865 (Xscream)... I've ridden the XS1000 a ton this year since buying the first Matrix in March - with 0 issues. Put the SS846 in my wife's boat and was nothing but impressed... that led me to...

I think this was after 2-3 minutes on the ski, based on the timestamp... right afterward I have a vid of you nose down trying a backie with this! Wait'll you see/ride the red Matrix... it's the perfect middle balance between the pink one and my blue one. Can't wait till we throw that bitch in...

Congrats! Here's a short video of Pete (not my wife - LOL) when he was over last week riding her ski. I wish we had footage of when he got it stuck on the bottom of the lake - "I found another shallow spot over here!"... LOL Ryan
