Anyone know who's ski this was?

[pigpen]

So I'm looking to buy this ski and the guy has no clue what the specs are on it, I'm hoping this is a ex ski from someone on here. Said it was built for a pro rider in Florida.

I knew one of its previous owners, it has been passed around a lot and probably had the driveline swapped more than a couple times.

Is it a bad history?

 

[yamanube]

Not any worse than any other ski I'm sure, handfull of backflops, does it seem like its structurally sound? I sent a message to the guy on FB, we will see if he can comment on it.

I would get rid of that battery and that PVC elbow in the exhaust tube and check the hull over for structural damage.

Is it still in ND? It had a team scream ported engine (around 701-718cc) with the usual bolt ons at the time, looked pretty similar to what it does in those pictures.

The ski is currently four hours away and I can't get down there until Saturday so I'm going off his word right now that is structurally sound.

And it's now in montana

I only saw it on the water a handfull of times, it made its way from FL to ND, was in MN for a few rides and got thrashed a bit on this ride. It is a Watercraft Factory hull, maybe Steve can comment on the hull itself @waterfreak

Previous owner was @lakeboy183\


He claims the hull is 68lbs in this thread, not sure if that is accurate but if it is A) that's good B)definitely check it over

If it is still the same, as far as I can remember:
Carbon WCF hull and hood
Factory B pipe, limited chamber
Xmetal non adjustable pole
Xmetal steering
Team scream ported 61x 701
Old thrust trim

Does it got pretty good low end punch?

Does it got pretty good low end punch?

Yeah I suppose, it is a relatively small engine, single carb and charging ignition. The shortened hull rides a bit better than a superjet and makes it feel a little more powerful but don't expect to be blow away by the power or flatwater backflip it.
Do you currently own a ski or what have you owned or ridden? It's better than a stock superjet, assuming everything is still sound and the engine is still running well. It has been 7 years or so since I have seen it last.

 

[pigpen]

I'm out a SN right now with a 701 single carb with a b pipe and 205 psi in both holes. I'm just looking to get into something lighter and more freestyle oriented.

It was a great ski to me! I'd buy it back in a heart beat. I've actually been trying to find it for sale again. All the mods nube listed are what I remember it having. Only upgrade I personally put on was the thrust ez pull trim. It's a good ski for cruising but also good for having some fun. It always started right up for me. If you search my youtube account I have a few vids of me riding it a few years ago. Lakeboy183

Thanks for all the info guys, lakeboy183 I'll have to check out the vids. I've been dying try find a aftermarket hull so I jumped right on this one
