300/440/550 Can Old ski's compete with new ski's???

I think if you got a bigger pump in the 550 hull, that would be somethin!

I would really like to see a 750 motor and 750 pump in a 550 hull....

Probably for the same reasons x2 couldn't cut it anymore after the blasters and hx's came out.

I dont know about putting a blaster or an hx in the same class as an x2. An x2 is a fine piece of machinery once tweeked the right way.

chubbies... yes! bought the hull early last year from charles. dropped a 650 in it that i built and rode it for a short time.

the motor that charles built came up for sale at a super low price. bought it, rode it, awesome 550 hull.

i've rode since 83 and this thing is amazing. handles like a fx1, alittle heavier up front. but on steriods

i'd like to see an 800 motor in an x2....

sjaholic - I thought I already posted but I guess not... Do you have any more pictures of that yellow ski? what year is the hull?

It looks sweet, and sounds like a nice ride...

Im working on it right now. I am trying to get my SX-R drivetrain in my X-2. I will have picks up soon. I am trying to use my wet pipe also.

650sx

I think a built sx like mine could bet newer skis.My 650sx has about everything you can do to it done.It is one fast fast ski.It will beat most 750 and can hang with the 800 barley but a 800 can still bet me.

I've ridden some way fast 550 hulled standups and anything over 50mph is pretty much like riding a marble,one wrong move and you are coming off and I do mean the hard way.If they want to race 550's they need to do so in a vintage class maybe along with 650's also,I really don't see how you could be competitive on one against the newer boats.

I have to agree learning that personally on mine around 54 it wasnt pretty from what little i could remember other than ouch :frown:

hey .. I just contacted a guy on ebay that claims his 550 conversion ski can go 63 mph ! ... somehow I dont think so .. i am also working on dropping a 650 with westcoast head 175 psi with westcoast pipe into a 440 hull just waiting on a few parts .... I dont expect to get into the 60s LOL was thinking maybe a tad over 50 if i am lucky .. here is the guys engine pic he sent me ... looks VERY nice ..
