Little update
I reached out to Sasquatch great guy. Not a bad price. Just after I messaged him. I found a smoking deal on an jm shaft on Facebook.
Made another order from jm. That comes in tomorrow.
Just been collecting more and more parts.
Seems like everything I go to put on, I am seem to be missing a bolt or bracket or seal ahah
I have to noob porting template and a bunch of Amazon bits. But I’m reluctant to try porting my cylinder.

So it’s been a while. Lots has happened
I don’t even know where to start. I’m also not good with computers and this stuff.
So my pictures might be out of order.
Anyways I had to wait for the drive shaft. That held me back from really doing much.
Because of the wait I was just staring at the hull.
I noticed the front of the tray is bowed a 1/4 inch. I know it’s not much and you’re probably never going to see it. Well one day I had my head in the hull with the garage door open. Just look at the picture. Im ok at fiberglass. I’ll just add a layer there is what I thought. As I’m preparing the area I’m leaning all over the stock turf. It was old rough and hard. I the plan was never going to match the OG. I got a little crazy with the multi tool.
Another order from @JetManiac! Dude is amazing!! So helpful everything I bought new came from him.
between all of that.
I wish I took pictures. I attempted my first porting job ever ahah. I happy with how it turned out. Looking back on it now. I would definitely do that to any motor I build. The first time was the hard one. I was so scared to take to much metal off. I just took my time stuck to the template. Probably 5 hours and a bunch of beers I was done. Sent it out to get bored. She came back looking great.
After one weekend it looks like this!!!
I got a few goodies I didn’t say anything about. Awahah

There's many different ways to set up your cooling lines. Most people run dual 3/8 lines from the pump to the bottom of the exhaust manifold. Rear outlet on the head goes to the bottom of the headpipe and the front outlet goes to a bypass. The outlet from the headpipe gets a tee with a bypass and the other end going to the stinger with flow control valve. Personally I like to feed the headpipe with a line straight from the pump because you get better water pressure and cooler water temps which make the water screw adjustments work more consistently and run the pipe dryer for more rpms. On 2-3/8 )lines from the pump, I have one go into the exhaust manifold and feed the engine and one feed the pipe.
My superfreak has 2- 1/2 inch lines from the pump. I run those to a manifold with 2-1/2 inlets and 4-3/8 outlets. 2 go to thr engine with a bypass on each line off the head, 1 goes to the headpipe out to a bypass and the 4th goes straight to the stinger. See photo..
Regarding the pipe tuning. Generally the bottom screw will run the headpipe hotter giving more top end power with a slight loss in bottom end. Th top screw will give a better bottom response. It's definitely worth spending the time t0 tune your pipe instead of just running what Joe average runs. Not really a wrong way to tune the water but depending how you set up the entire ski will change how it performs. I personally run the top screw 1/2 turn out and middle screw barely cracked open. The pump load and carb setup will determine how you tune the pipe. Looser pump, run the pipe hotter, tighter pump, run more water for better bottom end.. cooler pipe will have better low end throttle response and better bottom end torque but less rpm and horsepower up top.. hotter pipe does exact opposite.
