NICE! looking for a 550 to do this too lol did you have any issues with the steering cable being opposite i.e. turn left and the nozzle turns right? that happened to me with my SX, and is there enough room in the engine bay for the steering cable??

 

[315rider]

not sure why you ruined that sick ass paint job though

Anyone interested in this ski i don't want to sell it, its a blast to ride will sell with a 650 and the parts to swap, the 650 is missing the exhaust manifold, starter, and stator bolts. i have the block, pipe w/ elbow, 650 regulator and adapter plate to put the 650 in. Asking $600. the 550 in it is rebuilt.

I got another project ski for the winter this one has to go.

damn 6 is more than i wanna spend. lol if you had that old paint i would be all over it

Sounds like it could be worth the money, but it will be hard to sell such a one off ski. Cool build though. How's that hood come off? I guess it is still connected with wires and cables but you can lay it next to the ski?

Its not reallly one off, it's just a 550 with a stem and flat deck. Looking at getting a 550 and doing this though lol how fun is it?

How many other fix steer 550's are there? It's ONE off. You called your 650sx fix steer a one off full custom ski....I can count more than one 650 fixsteer

Its a blast! so nice with the fixed bars and flat deck trying to finish the 650. .. Should be tons of fun now!

I was just trying to say that he considers his fix steer one off but not this..:shrug:

I have yet to see any flatdeck fixed steer 550's in my life. The only flatdeck 550 I have ridden is my own and although I have seen a few I still consider it a one off.

550's are a rough market. They are 1st timer skis that people don't want to try something that radical. The die hards like them for what they are without hull mods.

Someone will come along that wants it but I would just hold on to it. Unless $600 will change your life, at the least, it will be a nice back up ski. I guarantee it is fun and that 650 will only make it better.
