Pretty much the same thing but with a crook in it. Dunno why the link doesn't work but just search strap tool.

And for those without a ton of tools, pawn shops are a great place to go to make specialty things like that or a factory pipe manifold wrench or just an extra 10mm to leave in the ski or truck. They sell tools for like $2 a pound and you can get quality stuff. Probably better than you can get at sears nowadays

I used 1 strip of it right where your ankles hit, then another layer covering the whole inside top of the holds.

Been working on flat spins and they're an absolute blast and exhilarating honestly.
Weather has been crazy warm here for November and I've got a drysuit now, so I should be able to go for a while yet.


Anyways, I'm starting to think about what mods I should look into. My ski hooks up fine with no intake grate and a stock pump in most situations. I can get an intake grate kit for it but that's around 300$, but I also could look into a mag pump but I have no idea if a mag is worth it for a ski that already hooks up WAY better than a superjet even though it has no grate.
Also, there's a new TL coming out for around 700$, and I know total loss makes a huge difference. I've felt an epic with 30 degree advance and I was mind blown, I'm sure TL is even better.
Honestly my budget after working this winter will be about 750$ for ski mods.
My carb is dialed in and my ski responds great(part of the reason I'd rather not have to dial in duals on t cases right now) , but I can tell I need to bore my nozzle to get it to unload more when launching off of wakes.

Any suggestions would be great!

This is what I used. I think it was 3 or 4 bux. Maybe 6. I don't remember but even a broke college kid with enough money for a brand new hull should be able to swing the coin for one of these.

Shhh, if I told you what my brand new hull cost me I'd have to kill you..

Yeah that would work probably. That's the second time I've heard of using sanding drums @SpaceCowboy , and I know of a local buddy that did that with good luck. Probably what I'll do. You can use a telescoping bore gauge to make sure it's even too. Plus couch trim nozzles are real easy since the straight portion isn't real deep like a 61x nozzle.

No probability about it. It works great. Complicate it however your heart desires.
