95 Square nose XFT conversion

[D Slicker]

This ski handled great in daytona and I am really happy with it. It is allot easier to ride thank My 97 was and not having the front exhaust in is nice to. I am planing a new power plant right now for the summer and cant wait.

So after daytona and talking with acouple of people about my ski. I have decided to put a small cover over my side exhaust to help keep it from going rich when that side is in the water. So I layed up some glass and CF. I still have allot of trimming to do but it is a start.

Cool! It's gotta help. :smokin:

What exactly is that piece supposed to do?

keep exhaust off the side of the boat maybe

 

[Big Kahuna]

hey Brent, have you thought about how when your moving, how it will effect the ride characteristics? Almost act like a rear sponson???

It makes an air pocket so it doesnt build up so much back pressure. Supossably

I figure it will has some effect on it. The finished piece will be allot smaller than it is now. I still have to fit it.

New motor has arrived :Banane09::Banane09::Banane09:

I took my old one out and put it in the blaster. I replaced it with a Team Scream 709. It's bored one over with ported cases, re cut domes, ported cases, ported head pipe and manifold with lightened flywheel. I got it together and shimmed. The workmanship is spot on.

Is that logo on the flywheel covere etched in by sandblasting or is that a sticker? Nice touch. I like it.

Its a sticker. They took the time to paint all my parts too all for less than other builders.

Motor is in and done. I took it out Sunday but it was so fat I fouled out my plugs. One problem that I had was it really loading up when not on plane so I installed the exhaust cover I made earlier. I'm not crazy about it put if it works at relieving some of the back pressure I will make a nicer one. I will know more tomorrow.

Does anyone have a pop off gauge I can borrow?

 

[D Slicker]

Took it out today after changing the pop off springs and WOW what a difference. This motor is soooo smooth. Big thumbs up for team scream. That little cover I made worked pimp too.

 

[douglee25]

Awesome man!

Hmmm this boat looks familiar.....

I just want to thank Brent again for building a killer boat. It has been what almost 5 years now since it was completed and I beat the crap out of this hull! Still is solid as can be!!
