They dont have a lot of bottom ive seen videos of 967's idle flippng lol??
My surf ski is haz a 967 litterally everyone who rode it at pac city freeride said i wish my ski had bottom like that. those motors are versatile if you rode one that isnt pulling youre arms off bottom to top then it wasnt setup right. at keast thats my experience with my 967...

If you are looking for more bottom you might try opening up yhe reduction nozzle to 87 then 88 etc until you find the power to youre liking.
i have held wide open for ten seconds multiple times a little to fast for my liking, lol

Your prop is about what I was thinking. A 13/18 seems a bit much.
He has a 9/15 Impros, which is around a 10/16 skat maybe more, I know Impros Hooker numbers are lower then their actual pitch.

So i double checked and it is a 9/15 skat trac, not a Impros. The hooker was on my old ski apparently. Thanks for all the feedback so far guys.

Impros sells Skat so it still could be an Impros modified Skat prop. They make sure the angles are prefect, balance them and do extras if required/asked for. Cut backs, extra cuts, welds, repitch, etc.

Will definitely update this with ride reports and tuning. Should be here Tuesday, i hope to hit the water Wednesday to start break in.

Motor showed up today, showed up well packaged with no damage. I agreed to have him use used cases to cut down on build time instead of waiting on OEM to show up but I am a little concerned about the gray epoxy in the stator area. Was this case cracked at some point and repaired?

No it was not lol, you see when you try to stuff larger sleeves in cases designed for 701/760 displacement. You have to make room for them, what your seeing is epoxy. But it was not damaged at one time, it was added as a strengthener/filler material so that Art could hog the cases out for proper sleeve clearance/porting. Perfectly normal

All big bore motors are like that, even my JetManiac 781 was.

The acturally bore clean threw the cases, so it looks like this on the inside:

Ok, next issue!
First time with a powervalve motor so I am discovering that B pipes are a huge pain in the ass with these. I couldn't find a good guide for grinding the B pipe head to clear the valves other than "grind till it fits and epoxy/weld if you break into water jacket". Does anyone have pictures of a properly modified pipe?
Welding will be an issue for me but i can epoxy it if needed. My main question is this:
Will grinding the pipe to work with power valves effect the performance and resale of the pipe? I am only planning on using the bpipe for about a month before I buy a power factor, so if I cut up my bpipe and then can't sell it for the $600-650 I am expecting I might hold off till I can just get the PFP.

Whether or not it would affect the price is for the buyer to decide. Some people might pay more while others would find it less desirable. It will not affect the performance however I would rather it be welded that epoxy.
