Scorn is gone. No need in that crap here. Should have happened a long time ago.

@chixwithtrix your build thread is awesome, very interesting read to be able to see the whole process bolt by bolt. I am not one of those haters, mad props for tackling this build!

Wow, that was quick. Thanks for the support y'all . I'm sure there are others who feel like Scorn on this forum, but like I have done myself in other threads - hit that unsubscribe button and it all goes away. No need to have a kicking a screaming fit. He was tame compared to some of the hate I get on my YouTube vids. I can have a cynical sense of humor and that is often lost on the Internet, but people like that tickle my inner cynic so it is hard for me to resist joining in the silliness. Sorry for the clutter.

Anyway, I forgot to ask in my update pic post - has anyone with one of these kits received an exhaust hose that was too short? My righthand long tube was cut really far up and doesn't even go over the pipe in the back. WTF is the cut even for? I guess I can try and get with Chris and see what he says. Seems silly to cut it and deliver like that.

Mine wasn't cut, I had to cut the exhaust hose from the b-pipe to the water box, that's pretty standard I believe. The other hose from the water box to the exhaust outlet was perfect tho.

Get a blue rrp/or any other blue handle pole tube and use it as an extension. Had to do that on my Freak. Had a new RadDudes hose that was about 2" short.

My throttle cable was 2 feet short when they sent it to me... I think they just don't measure anything lol

Yeah your hose was split it looked like. That's not gonna do a damn thing for you, was it split did you notice when you received it?? That sucks. You'll prolly need to shorten your pole quite a bit. Mine was wayyyy long. That will help you run your steering and throttle cables a bit more cleanly. You need to shove that water box way up into the nose too. By far the best place for the box is over the foot hold. I got some 8mm flush fit washers from jetworks and some m8 flat 316 stainless nuts and bolts and used them to run part of my hood straps to. No way is my hood coming off.

 

[chixwithtrix]

I sent a message to Chris. We'll see what comes of it. At least I have options if they don't honor it.

 

[chixwithtrix]

Chris will exchange it for me, just have to get down to the ski and ship the tube back.

So anyway, interested in trading my Bpipe for a Powerfactor pipe setup. I have the 845cc, MSD enhancer ignition and pump gas.

Would I be helping or hurting my situation getting rid of the B for the PFP?

 

[ajmps1]

I think, honestly, KISS. You keep throwing more and more "stuff" at this making more to fine tune. Your 845 group k is a tank of a powerplant and a good one. Its setup to run a bpipe. Why add more aggrivation? Ive had a 785 groupk in my blaster for 7 years now. It eats salt all day and keeps kicking hard. Its converted all my seadoo friends to blasters. Get this ski together, work oit the kinks and next season look for a new pipe if you must.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Keep your B Pipe. Get Comfortable with the ski, in a year, try and find a Laydown pipe to borrow to see if you like it.

 

[Yami-Rider]

A laydown pipe should gain you a little, but will come with more headaches.

 

[x2mafia]

Way more headaches.

And even with that little more edge of power, call me a a$$ hole, I don't think it's gonna flip until you have a big monster motor. If that 50 is built anything like my predator it weighs a ton

 

[Big Kahuna]

Chris Anyzeski was flipping a Heavy XFS with a 760.00 and a Power Factor. I believe it is more about hull design.

 

[chixwithtrix]

It is a great deal, but I do want simple and I do want reliable. I'd love to just throw down the money for a PV 900cc and a laydown pipe, but that is in dreamland.

Thanks for the input, looks like the vote is to keep the BPipe.

Oh I'll be flipping this bitch one way or another

Mine weighed in at 86 from the shipper if i remeber correctly. Surf layup 50 cal.

 

[Proformance1]

Been watching your build since the start. Truly glad that JM got you squared away with the correct parts and you now have the Torrent pump installed. Looking forward to seeing you rip on it.

 

[x2mafia]

I apologize I stand corrected. 86 is very reasonable. But in my defense it's not like nick is posting a ton of videos of this thing with a 701 popping flat water flips either

 

[Yami-Rider]

My footrocket is 116lbs lol.

If possible I think it is best to learn how to flip behind a wakeboard boat or yacht. Flat water is much harder specially with a small motor.
