Im not saying a 440 can't be fun but EVERY single question you might possibly have, has been answered, twice, at least. Search here and the vintage section of pwctoday.com. Or keep making threads about putting a team scream engine in your 440 and soak in the wealth of knowledge that follows.

thanks, will do

Download this to see what could be done on hopped up 550's back in the day, then realize you have less than 1/2 the power they had. Stock 440 = ~26hp, stock 550 = ~35-40, hopped up 550 = ~50hp

It just doesn't work, I had a mildly hopped up 440 back in the day and you really just can't do much other than balance tricks on them.

^^ prolly flipped the pole up and did a sumersault in the tray to a powersub sitting on his A** BRAAAPPP!
I like when he used to do power subs on the hood and come back up standing in the tray BRAAAP!!

Seems Aquaholic loves to make all threads about himself I guess I need to get used to that

Thats cool! Not that I know, and its probably hard to do, but that honestly looks more difficult than flip, flip, flip, and another flip, fist pump, flip! I am not much into watching freestyle competitions because it seems like if you seen one you have seen them all. If they would do trick like this it would be cool to watch. They should have retro competitions where flipping is a deduction in points.

Stock Hull Class max CC of 800 in the WF ftw!!

It would be a real challenge to pull off some of these underwater maneuvers, for a couple of reasons..

Heavy breathing, big motors, with open style flame arrestors, and lots of breather tubes, can ingest water at an unbelieveably fast rate. Not good with expensive engines.

Nose rocker, (and hull design) on modern freestyle boats, are resistant to pearling and sub tricks.

And, short, lightweight, wide skis are somewhat difficult to recover from underwater moves.

Old school tricks are seldom seen in freestyle, on modern boats. But, I know of one guy that will be dusting off some of these moves, at Havasu.

So are you saying since the 440 is not a modern ski its actually optimized for underwater moves? good to know
