WOW, major handwringing over that bilge placement. Classic!

Here's the thing...I've been setting up my competition boats like that for close to 20 years now.

Never had an issue, not once.

Personally, I prefer that routing.

But, like Idok pointed out..I can understand where, to some, it could raise an eyebrow and be a cause for concern.



Here's the thing, though… the build that you see here, is for a former pro freestylist. He may be old and decrepit ...but homeboy's still got some chops.

We've gone over every aspect of this build, splitting hairs, debating, and (over) analyzing the sh*t out of every nut and bolt.

We've even closely avoided a brawl, over the graphics.

The bottom line is this… the guy knows what works and what doesn't work (for Him). It ain't his first rodeo.

So, there is a caveat to running that outlet into the tray...I'd caution someone who may be looking at this build, and thinking about emulating that setup. Think things through, really carefully, on your build. For example, If you are incapable of properly using a gas can and have an internal fill tank, or your bilge hygene is akin to a homeless guy’s buttcrack...then don't run it this way.

The Maiden Voyage


We arrived at the lake to be greeted by a steller , crystal clear, late fall day. There was even a dusting of snow up in the local mountains.

Perfect conditions for the maiden voyage!




I threw a quick and dirty turf job in the footwells just to get Rodney on the water. The plan was for this to simply be a shakedown ride, for him to get aquainted with the boat, and then make a checklist of areas that need to be dialed in.

At least the motor would not need any break-in time.























All in all, things went surprisingly well! As the day wore on, Rodney became more and more familar with the boat and things started to click. He's going to get on really well with the KDX. I rode it briefly...it's really a fine machine!

Such a clean turf job, especially the hood! What did you cut the turf with, a hot knife? The edges are so clean. Good luck with those registration numbers tucked away like that, that wouldnt fly around these parts. Although it does clean up the overall look.
