If you are riding that ski flat water you are going to need to chop that pole in half!

That ski rotates too easy. You got it in Qatar? You should get a season out of that setup no problem.

Yes mate I had it shipped here to qatar as to get around the UK import duty and of course the weather is better
I'll ship it to the uk at the end of this year ,it's a real work of art

Muscat, land of no surf. Head south to surf ride a few times per year. Salalah pretty good. Other than that it's flatwater.
Enjoy the ski. Watch the temps. Check the rrp pipe is padded out properly and stays away from the strap hook under the hood hook.

Ugh, I forgot about the machining of the additional wear ring for my new build. @barrie gunn did you get yours machined by Larry? Did you install it with a pump seal or just with sealant? Also I assume you got the wear ring with the plastic liner?

hi mate yes first i bought the addinal ware ring from larry which was machined down by 6mm but when i tryed to install on the hull the bolt holes did not line up so i had an additional 5 mm machined off it .
It did have the plastic liner and i did not use the pump seal i just used silicon then when it was dry i peeled off the excess
when lining up the pump i found this took a bit of time to get right and the shims cost to much money ,i used a cold fusion line up tool , and i also found out after ordering all new yamaha bolts that the pump insurts are not yamaha bolts thread (yamaha are UNF but the hull insurts are UNC) so i had to order new bolts
the mid-shaft bolts are Yanaha UNF and motor mounts also are yamaha UNF
some other info gents
The hull weight is 32KG and hood weight is 4KG

Thank you for the recommendations. When I took off my old pump from the original build, I realized that my extra wear ring had been machined down about 8mm and still I had to widen the wholes a bit to get it to fit well. No room for any kind of a pump seal. I'm thinking of grinding flat and using a neoprene pump seal for a seadoo (only a few dollars).

Any updates on how these hulls ride?

On my side, I haven't ridden another hull besides a superjet so haven't been able to give a real comparative review. Of course the ride is substantially different than the superjet. I have been happy with the ride.

Can anyone tell me how the nose piece is attached? A pic would be great
- Location

Sorry I don't have the picture right now. There is one screw on top and two screws on either side underneath. I had to grind the nose piece some to fit my pole bracket.

The two side screws are from the inside of the nose piece? And one at the front from the top? Did you just drive them right into the hull?

Yes they were just driven into the hull. I recall that the holes were pre-drilled but my memory is foggy now.

There's a screw in the front as you can see in the pic below and there are two more on the insides near the pole bolt (same place as stock superjet)
