Hull and motor worked out perfect, no hickups. The pipe was a success, i talked to
ed and he got the jetting perfect the first time. I bought his manifold and tripple reeds with his jetting as a package. Hung out with eric, lee, dan ashcroft, and darren sedge.
Dan and Darren were very impressed with the powerplant as i wanted them to ride the ski to give me there thoughts. It was cool to here Dan say ..this is a 10 mill right? When i told him it was a 8, he replyed it had 30% more power than any 8 he has ever ridden. I did meet some x members, roo, steve @ watercraftfactory, paul lehr tuned the timeing, Honda,iceman,typo tommy,Brian @ thrustinnovation and hand full of am riders..it was a awsome time.

I think that Big texan resturant was on the Travel Channel once. I remember seeing it on there. Glad the ski runs good. So what's the story about that X2 in the pic?

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Me and lee. not only is he a remarkable rider but a good person aswell, same go's 4 his father.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

I had a chance to ride this ski and its the most well balanced ski I have ever ridden. Power was incredible and the hull is amazing. Btw I still need to get you the battery part number we were talking about.

Here r some pics of real riders rippin my ski, Dan and Darren. Dan placed 2nd in am freestyle on a boat he's never ridden... When i first got to crazyhorse i was walkin around and met up with eric talkin to ice..not expecting him to be staying at the same place. He was nice enough to invite me to bring my stuff up to his camper and use any tools i needed. Not going to lye when i did lee, dan, darren are like who the hell is this guy..lol. Dan was the first to come over and talk to me from time to time as me and my buds were finishing up the ski, then Tommy, then lee and darren. After the ice was broken we all became good friends. Id really like to thank Eric for taking me in and making it possible to meet remarkable rides such as lee, dan, darren, and ice. Because of that i was more than happy to help eric out as much as i could while i was up there.
It plain out was a awsome trip..the drive was awsome aswell, seeing the country like that..dream come true.:cool2:

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Yes, pls. Id like to try that batt. X member goingbigger rode the ski as well. He was one of the first, very good rider..had the pleasure in watching him in AM freestyle. Great job man!
