Super Jet 2011 SJ with 24/7 fixsteer hood, Aircraftsalz surf ski

[Aircraftsalz]

Here's the details so far ...

Bought a new SJ hull from a local, has maybe 3 hrs since new if that. Just the hull/hood/pole, no motor, pump, etc

Bought a 24/7 fix steer hood from a x member... Sweet hood that fits Perfect from what my buddies told me

So far this is the plan

772-800cc 62t motor, big carbs, lots of compression, etc.. Jetmaniac motor.. Might borrow my wife's blaster motor since I built it, rode twice and it's been sitting since... (long story, bought epic, ski ran great one day, next day has a bottom end bog, epic = junk IMO .. Swapping back to msd enh...

Type 4 dry pipe
144 mag pump
Thrust trim
Thrust lock down foot holds
Front foothold
Blowsion tubbies
msd enh
Re enforce sides 11 oz carbon
New S.S switch, New gas tank, etc

Going to order the oem sticker for the hood... My plan is to make it look like something Yamaha built, but with brap....

Lucas wants to race it in the surf at Daytona, I'm going to race my Kids Superjet.... Should be fun

Build pics to come....

Cool project , I love the old 247 fixed steer hood

LOVE THE 24/7 HOOD i cant wait to see your builds are crazy fast and clean!

i have a 2004 superjet with a 24-7 fixed steer with the oem stickers on it looks good, thinking of doing it to a 08 i just picked up, fun ski

 

[dmpus]

What does it look like? What does the hood has to do with the steering being fixed? Sorry for my ignorance ..

 

[BruceSki]

you will enjoy it... flips are a ton of fun... a little different than a pole ski for sure. I still haven't ripped mine around the marsh here but I bet it would be a fun boat in the buoys.

And mine only had a limited 701 in it with a stock pump.

I'm sure a big bore with a mag pump and a dry pipe will make it a bit more fun.

Looking forward to this build

I'm going to pick up the hull next week I hope, start building between Christmas and New Years... the hood is coming down first week in Jan.... Might be tight to get it done for Daytona as I have some other skis that have to be ready...

I can't wait to get it together , I rode Butti's ski... Same hull/hood as I'm building... Going to be such a fun ski in the surf

Will give me a choice for surf conditions.... XFR or Fixsteer so I'm pumped to get it built

 

[ocdfreeride]

i also have a fr-2 and the xfr their more fun in the surf imo

 

[Steve pwc]

Now we are talking. Fix Steer!!! I got one and ride all the time. So much Fun and now Im putting a stroker motor in it. Good Luck

a fixed steer ski is a ski with fixed steering like a x2 or blaster....blasters are big and bulkey and x2s handle shotty and lack in power, so you can buy or build your own "fixed" steer hood to go on a sj and that gets rid of the pole and you get handle bars more like on a sit down ski exp.

sweet project, i love to take it for a spin

 

[Austin]

Sounds awsome! I would really like to try one compared to my x2. Can you get your weight back when you do the fix-stear?

 

[ocdfreeride]

yes, they can rip

 

[Twinturbostang]

Fixed steer for life.
I have a project that we are going to show off at Daytona.

 

[redwood]

It's true. Fixed steer is crazy fun. Completely different ride compared to a pole. This will be a cool project. 24/7 hood is a good way to go.

I'd like to see it. Maybe flip it too since I think that powerplant taught me flips.

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Well the hull will be coming next week... I'm going to order the oem Yamaha stuff I need this week, along with the Blowsion 08+ tubbies... Going to be a cool ski to add to my collection

Hey Stanley my plan is to keep the XFR, and (2) RN's for sure... Only ski I don't really like is the blaster, I hope my wife likes the fix steer so we can sell the B1... She loved my White / Black RN so there's a chance

 

[Twinturbostang]

Are you painting the hood to match? Thats what we did with the 08

 

[alex_hockey]

Hey twinturbostang have any video if that ski in action? How do you like the tom21 hood?
