SCALE says........ 265.4 lbs!
View attachment 330068 View attachment 330069 View attachment 330070 straps weighed 8.4 - total 273.8 this is with approx 1.5 - 2 gals of fuel.

Now can an almost 53 year young, 150lb guy, get this to flip with this little 701 setup? When is spring coming back??

P.S. looking at a CPT 771 - how much more will that help?
That 771 should throw you around pretty good, i always tried to pull as much power as possible from my 61x motor and i just couldnt get a solid flip around, then i built a properly ported 62t 701 and wow... huge difference, flipped my bam with no problem, with the 771 and some practice you should be flippin out forsure!
 
264 nice!

If it were mine I'd fill it up with gas full, and find out the capacity of your tank, and break down the weight properly with a bit of math.

Hope to bump into you this year at a ride and get to check this thing out.
 
IMG_2937.JPG WHOOO! can't wait for some warmer water. 15 minute test ride was a blast. going to a short ski, short pole, lights ski - I have a lot to adjust to, now I wonder how long it will take for the smile to go away. plan on a better ride report after more water time. first impressions are FUN! seems to turn on a dime, and rides flat. I wanted to cruise the lake but there was nobody around in case i broke down and that water was really cold (or I am just a sissy).
 
4/15 - water is cold but getting tolerable. ran 5 gallons of FUN on Saturday. the difference from the REV to the BAM is like going from a 4x4 to a corvette! I can't wait to chase boats because this thing seems to like to cruise at a decent clip (need to bring my gps) it was 25+mph winds and it was cruising across the wave tops. unless i misjudged then i was airborne. I'll share more as it happens, but I can say this, This SKI is a BLAST! I'm still grinning ear to ear from yesterday.

Last night our lake security stopped by and I was showing him the ski and he wants me to enter it in the annual car show they have at the marina!
Once again A big Thanks to Crazy Joe for building such a fun ski - I am loving it.
