you installed the pump last? how did you check alignment to your mid shaft? sweet lookin hull btw, always loved solid white

Check alignment first, remove the pump, build ski, install pump with the other necessary stuff like the cooling lines and fittings. We also needed a male to male pvc fitting for the steering cable.. It was easier to put the engine in while we were waiting on some other parts than it was to just wait and build everything at once.

He's probably busy with work. I'll just say. I rode it and wow that thing is great! Once you put in a few minutes on it you get adjusted to it super fast. It's super nimble and stable, the splash guard keeps water out of your face. It doesn't do anything you don't want it to. The hull is responsive to your every move. It doesn't ride nose high like other hulls I've rode but when you want it to come up it does. He would've flipped it but on the second day of the trip the bearings in his Mag pump went out.

That is pretty much my exact ride report...minus the bearings failing lol. Great hull...loving it so far.
 
Yup Ben summed it up hull rides like a dream and feels like you have a big motor with mine it but was able to get probably a hour of solid ride time it will chase a boat at normal cruising speed very easily

Why not run the smaller etx9 in the rear battery tray? Also, try an H20 Designs or Xmetal waterbox...they should work fine. (If you want to run a waterbox)

This ski has some history! Here’s the thread where it sank:

I just bought it on Friday...it’s not currently running, but it’s still in good shape. It looks like it still has all the same parts.

It seems like something is up with the ATP flame total loss system. I might post some updates on this thread as I go through it.
