Yep, angled bilge outlets:

Watt hole recessed switch/primer cup:

The bilge outlets and pissers are made at Xscream. Just like the look of them.In my builds l alway like using two 500 Rule pumps.Just in case the scupper decides to leak. The Watt holes have a ocd surf armor bilge switch in one and a primer in the other.
The last several skis l built had no graphics on them.lt was time for a change.Just like me using purple,it was time for a change.But l still managed to sneak a small amount in

Got the ski down to the lake yesterday evening for a shakedown.
No leaks,no loose hoses,no vibration,and caught nothing on fire.Thinking good deal.
lssues,ok problems: LS tank slid back.Nose down by just a few degrees.Not plowing,just needs a little tweak.l have a reduction nozzle that can I switch out today and a LS block to keep the tank from sliding back.Then back to the lake.
Engine is running great with the Zeel,just want more time on it to see what changes can be made to it make better.
Overall,quite happy with the initial ride and not surprised on what changes need to be made.

Got to ride this one today. Fun ski. Felt a lot smaller than anticipated..("that's what she said").. I was more at home on it than the SJ. Surf trip soon!

It was so good to get out yesterday and ride.Seemed like old times with hornedogg! Water still cold,but tolerable.
Ski ran great and need to change a few things.Adjusting the trim up from last weekend,did good.Also,the gas tank block I installed,kept the tank forward.Mostly what l need to do now is work on making the ski fit me.Foothold was loose and back just a couple inches.Jon noticed the handlebars were a bit wide.l think he’s correct.l do have another set.Just need to measure them both.Handle pole is maybe a couple inches short.On the lake it feels fine,but riding surf,l prefer it a bit longer.Shorter handlebars may fix that issue.Letting my arms come in may put me back further in the tray.
Overall,l like the ride.Real loose,turns quickly and power seems good.I had bought a Zeel from LPW (@OCD put his touch to it also) and I’m sure we’ll make the changes next time we get together.Also,will be installing a switch for two power curves.
Someone a while back had said that l would not like the ride of the ski on the lake.Wrong,The ski feels light,flickable,and slides out well.Doesn’t seem long or heavy.Anyway,l hope to get out more this week after making the changes.And like Jon said,let’s go hit some surf!!
Well done,Krash hulls!!

What in the hockey sticks is that outlet on the left side of the hull......... Please tell me it is not what I think it is.Got to ride this one today. Fun ski. Felt a lot smaller than anticipated..("that's what she said").. I was more at home on it than the SJ. Surf trip soon!

Been a few weeks since l got the Krash in the water.Mostly adjustments to the foot hold,pole and trim angle.
l moved the foothold on the left up 2”.Still wasn’t happy with my stance the way my foot slid into it,so l cut a portion off the back and returfed it.Fixed for now.
The pole was still a bit short for my comfort and l lengthened it about 2” and now that seems to have worked.lts flush with the bars right over the dash looking from the side.Just felt like l was leaned over to much.Not do doing flat water aerials so it wasn’t necessary for me to be bent plum over.
The nose was a bit down to much,so l adjusted the trim angle to about 7° up.That worked. But the angle now disrupts the flow of water thru the reduction nozzle.Not a lot,but still less efficient (thanks Jr. for the tip).A 144 65V trim reduction nozzle Is what l always used on my SF Badass builds before to fix the angle.For those who do not know,these nozzles already turn up 5°.Not many of these we’re around when l looked,except some crusty ones off FB (BK’s favorite reference guild!).Ended up buying one off HighspeedIndustries.com.Great price,ordered it on Friday at 5pm EST and they shipped that day.Should be here Wednesday.
Overall l like the hull and handling. Very playful and feels light in the water.And that’s me coming off half a dozen carbon hulls.Still need to tweek the Zeel some,but l need to ride it more to give good imput to Jr. to help him tune.
For now,l’m done....
