Hey guys,
This is my first post in this forum although I've had this account for a while now.
Anyway, I too have an 011 SJ that I've had for about two years now.
All I’ve had installed was a 500 gph blidge pump (I had a shop do it right after break-in).
My main reason for posting is that I want to know what to choose from and why.
I want to make my ski perform better in the free-style free-ride area but also want to maintain the full speed fun when racing with my friends.
So an all-in one recreational ski that can do nice jumps and tricks while maintaining a nice top end is great, is that too much to ask?
And I don’t really know the difference between surf, free-ride, free-style but I know our waves aren't that huge so I don’t think its surf.
It’s more of small waves, so I would think it’s free-ride? Correct me if I’m wrong please..
And where I live, the UAE btw, has very salty waters (due to high temperatures).
So I'll need reliable parts that will withstand both the heat and the high salt content in the water.
I've done quite some research and found out that I would most likely use this set-up:
(Keep in mind that I'd prefer to install ready "engineered" parts instead of modifying and drilling what I've got so I’d rather pay the extra $$$ for that
)
1- Intake Grate: Worx 228, Wamiltons ??? Anyway free-ride stuff (I don’t want something too aggressive that would throw me off of the boat when I accidently let go of the throttle)
2- Ride Plate: Worx 314?, wamiltons....
3- Propeller: Skat Trak 12/17 (but I’ve heard it’s not important cause mine is fine.
4- Stubbie Cone: wamiltons...
5- Steering: a. Cable: (shmitty’s, 96-07)
b. Plate: (Cold fusion, UMI, blowsion, maybe wamiton’s?)
c. Throttle lever/ bars: I don’t know, I’m fat and short (5’4-5’5 and 174 lbs)
and later,
6- ADA head.
7- Filter thing/ reeds?
8- MSD
9- B-pipe
Basically wamilton’s step kits but in my own way, so is it the way to go?
I want to keep my first mods (1-5 if they're important) in a budget of 1,500$ in two payments over the months.
I hope someone reads this =D I didn't want to start a new thread.
Thank you,
JBar
