21’ EME Aerial8

So I started this journey back in March without knowing how much work it would take to get it this far….mostly money but work too…..so I got it to this point and I really am looking to use this limited pipe on this 750…..just not sure how to fit a waterbox in the hull ….I would need a very small water box….any suggestions?

You could cut and route the stinger to the nose of the ski. A few different box options for the front. I would think a jetmaniac box would fit nicely.

 

[BennyG]

That has crossed my mind…..I had also thought about a power factor box and aiming stinger towards the exiting side but I don’t know dimensions of that box. Thanks for the suggestion tho I appreciate it

Jet skis...especially aftermarket are not typically "cheap", looks like you have a good starter setup there tho! Post up some more pictures and where you from in MN, I'm in Rochester, riding in Princeton typically

Yea I’m finding out it might have been better to just buy one built, but I thought I would give this a shot and see how it goes! I live in Kimball Mn…. I would have been riding this year but obviously the ski isn’t ready so next summer for sure and yes I will be posting some more pics that I have as I was building this.

I'd try an rrp lay down pipe water box, they are the smallest. I have one you could borrow if you want to try to mock one up. I'm in hopkins. Nice to see some more mn riders

That would be awesome! I would appreciate it a ton….I was hoping to make the sortie this year but that didn’t happen. If you give me dimensions I could always measure the area and see if it would fit….there is some room but seems like a tight area on the right hand side.

So I guess this is kinda how my build went …..first issue was pump install…..major gaps and uneven in mount area….solas 12 vane pump 140mm

 

[BennyG]

So I made wedges….to take up space

 

[BennyG]

Next was major gap between hull and pump seal so I used a stock sxr pump seal and added a bungee cord on top of it and then 3m 5200 pump in

 

[BennyG]

Next was notching trim nozzle….

 

[BennyG]

Driveshaft was also a puzzle because it’s hard to get straight answers from Eric …. But a stock sxr 800 driveshaft fits perfect for length…. I bought a conversion plate for an 1100 sxr which spaces bearing carrier further forward 1/2 inch so as to make sure bearing surface rides on correct area of driveshaft

Can I ask why no high comp head? I feel like that would work well with the FP

I was just trying to get out on the water at that point lol…..I just wanted to get it together and then go out and see how I like the hull and the setup.

I'll snag some measurements this evening and let you know

Perfect thanks …. I thought of no water box at all and just run more water through exhaust but I don’t wanna be that guy on the water….I read enough on this forum to know better lol
