Custom/Hybrid Aircraftsalz new Rickter XFR SURF build Thrust Dasa powered

[Superjetjim]

What did you fab the water box holder out of? - looks like Ali 'L' shaped profile?

Looks sweet - you should sell them via Brian!

pimp setup on the powerbox and the custom tray - well done!

Josh the straps with oem tabs look like they are going to work well. Did you finish it last night? Are you up for daytona with lucas and i tomorrow? Good spot for first surf trial.

Just some 1/16 L shaped Aluminuim... Took 15 minutes to make & cost $8.00, plus the strap... This is going to be a surf ski so I want things tight & to stay in place...

Thanks Roo

Sorry Chris I can't do Fag Tona with a new ski.... I'm going to the lake early morning & then taking my kids MX riding at Bostwick.

Got the ski all done & to the water for a test ride... Gotta say Brian is damn good on these engine setups. Adjusted idle, everything else was perfect... I built this ski / motor knowing I wasn't going to be impressed or happy with a 900cc motor.. Gotta remember I'm coming from a 1100 & 50 lb hull, lol

This Thrust Built Dasa 900 is so impressive, I gotta say its unreal how much snap this motor has... Going to be perfect for the surf & flatwater, when it hits & comes on the pipe it just pulls like crazy. Makes more power than my old xs1000 on a b pipe by far.
To be running a 144 pump and have this much brap is really cool.

I'm going to ride first thing tomorrow morning, would have rode more tonight but had to change a jet in the pipe. Water box was a little warm for my liking..

Looks awesome. Great work as usual. Where are you mounting the ignition box?

 

[ridetrp]

That thing looks awesome, pretty weird seeing one next to a superjet how do they compare in length and width?

 

[Martin33]

Very nice build Josh!

[Superjetjim]

Very nice... What tank did you go with in the end?

Look forward to the ride report.

Any issues with the 'turn left' issue?

 

[FlightPlanDan]

Looking forward to seeing you back in the waves!
Killer ski BTW!
Gotta love those Josh-builds!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Thanks guys for all the props...

Tank wise right now I'm running a 2 gal jazz, but Brian shipped me the 3 gal jazz tank today so I will be changing that out next week.

No issues yet, but I didn't ride long due to the water box temp... I'm going to hit the lake at 7 am tomorrow so ride report soon.

Ebox is mounted on the bulk head like a normal ski... With the battery and ebox mounted on the bulkhead it now has more weight at the center than if I ran the firewall tank..

Ski rips

DOPE setup!!!

Why is the gas tank so close to the motor? looks like it could be moved back a touch or are you using the motor to lean it up against?

I thought you said something about a 4 gallon tank earlier... didn't work out?

I want to go with a 3 gal tank, the 4 gal fits but its really to big in there.... I want all the weight as close to the firewall/Bulkhead as I can get it, thats why i put the battery, ebox, tank right on the FW cover...

I just glassed in the insert for the 3 gal tank, I'm just putting that tank together now.

Had a great morning ride, ski rips, would love to put a 148 in this ski... Its smoking the 144 off the bottom

 

[sjetrider]

pic with elects mounted please? Where the H do they go?
You have a bulkhead tank in there too, right?

 

[Aircraftsalz]

I left the bulkhead tank out, was just to much work and takes up a lot of room for how I wanted the ski setup...got the 3 al jazz tank all mounted... Also here's some pics next to a SJ
