I got this ski about 4 years ago. I rode a coworkers octane (first stand up ride) and I was hooked. I found this ski on craigslist. Fixed it up and its NEVER let me down since. Rode the crap out of it for a summer. Then I rode a brand new rn for a summer in florida. Then I rode rn for a summer in China. Then I rode a 2008 (new hull) in China again for a summer.
I do not know if I will be home this summer to ride this or not. But I want to fix her up again. I know its late to start this but I was injured this winter.
As it sits, 61x,61x 701cc. With b pipe.
This will be a budget build for sure. Also this will be slow because I still do not have all the parts, nor do I even know which parts I want/can get.
The plan (for now).
Hull: Defoam, maybe run no foam or the loews stuff that does not absorb water. I want it to have drains built in as well. I also want to cut it back between 2 to 4 inches and footholds. It has an ac aluminum pole, I would like to shorten it a bit.
Pump: "blue print" the pump, clean it up a bit. Also try to make "CAT's" trim.
Engine: Analog TL, ada cases with kawi intake. I am still unsure on what I will do with the engine. Maybe just bore my 61x cylinder out to 84 mm. Or I may try to find a 62t cylinder on the cheap and bore to 86 mm, cut a bit off the bottom to lower the exhaust port. I was looking for a stroker crank on the cheap but well, thats damn hard to find. So I will probably just be using stock crank.
As I already said, I am unsure of the modifications I will do. Also I do not know if I will be home long enough to finish/ride it.
Should be fun! :bananapowerslide:
