Boyer's Murdered out 2010 SS865 Trinity Matrix "ES" Build, (Now -2") :biggrin:

[Aircraftsalz]

My last tank from Greater was $12?, plus tax, plus shipping so $150 after all the BS. I couldn't do it with that yellow tank, thats me!!!! Gotta be nice & clean for a new build!

 

[IceMan]

Beautiful!!!

Good luck with the build!

Keep us posted!

Magic eraser won't change the color. It just cleans the grease off.

Sick man!:Banane01:

I'll try a couple different things on the tank this weekend. I went anal on the last build and it gets undone so quick somethings just aren't worth the hassle or the extra dough.

All I'm thinking now is black chrome ceramic coating the pipe! Man that would be sweet!!! I will be making some calls tomorrow. :bigok:

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Buy a new tank, its only $150 from Greater!!!!!!!!

Maybe mine stays white due to leaded avgas!!!!

 

[superramjet]

I like the fuel filler setup, first underhood setup I think looks like it'll work perfect, can you put a tape measure on it and tell me the diameter of the flange? Thanks, Tom

look at what we started....ONE comment about an aged gas tank and its alllll downhill from there :headbang::bump:

I predict you will have more gas through this one ski than you did on all the others in the last 2 years combined. This is going to be sweet Boyer. Christmas couldn't come so soon

Cant wait to see this build all done.. :friday:

I hope so too and not because it's a gas hog. lol

That makes two of us. :bigok:

Was checking out the X-Scream web page this morning and got to see pics of my engine on the website. Now that's priceless!! :biggrin:

Boyer is your hull going to be ready in March? Got that Hatti ride coming up in Seb, FL

Not sure, I haven't recieved a new delivery date yet. Very unlikely at this point. More likely I will drop the SS846 into the 07 for the ride and pick up my hull the same trip.

ScottS has a spare hull I can drop my X-scream engine into for the weekend though.

 

[Lucaumpits]

Drop that engine on Josh's FX1

And I can promise u, you will flip without notice

I've been wrestling with the idea of dropping it into my 07 for the break-in period and running my 760 in the Matrix for the few months or so...I'd like to feel my stock hull with X-scream power and the Matrix with normal power to get a good feel for before and after comparisons. Chris is doing the same thing with his superfreak hull and I think it's a good idea.

I emailed Bobby today so i hope to firm up a delivery date soon.

Thats a great idea, learn the ski learn the motor, then place them together and its like a free upgrade.
dont think it will last seperated more than a month.

Only problem is; which ski is the wife riding thru all this? I know she can't handle X-Scream power and if she gets used to the Matix handling she might not give it back...:argue:

Not to mention the fact that the 07 is her ski now...hmmm, what to do, what to do...:thinking:

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Drop that XS motor in the 07 & rip it until the Matrix is done. What break in, I rode mine 10 min & was ripping big Backflips, etc. Ride it like your going to ride........Whats Break in????

When we raced back in the late 90's we would take a fresh motor, warm it up for 10 min & beat the piss out of it. The one motor we BROKE in & pampered sucked.

Thanks my opinion, I can't wait to beat the piss out of my XS1000

 

[OCD Solutions]

I just say "break-in" so as to not offend the engine gods. I usually run it safe for about 10 minutes then go for it.

If we were riding lately i'd do the swap but i would only get one ride out of it then have to swap them back so it's just not worth it. Between work and the build I only have one free weekend between now and the Sebby ride anyways.
