Krash Reaper Build!

[mikidymac]

Why not just sand it front to back and leave it like the race teams used to do?

Exactly! However, I don't know how much of it is the shoe Vs the ski without trying an oem shoe first.

Agreed with both statements... mikidymac

But in the mean time it's Probably better to have a shoe slightly oversize, at lest we can grind it to fit almost any hull

Looking good Qunic

Race teams from all sports spread a lot of misinformation. I am thinking long time wear from trailer bunks, beaching, etc . Gel-coat would be best but I don't have two gallons of gel-coat taking up space in my garage.

First coat of paint! Went with Rustoleum marine topside. First time trying the roll and tip method.

Curious to see how that product works out for you.

Me too! Have done a lot of reading about how it self levels and holds up to abuse. This morning it looks good. Have to wait 24hrs between sanding and adding another coat. Then another 3-5 days for it to fully cure/harden. Only 16$ /qt and will have enough left over to last all of my skis for life.

So when someone buys a Ready-To-Perform Reaper or other Krash product, how is Krash installing the shoe/intake/pump? are they doing all this grinding, sanding and fitting AFTER the mold and paint, and then completely repainting the bottom before its sold? seems like double the work versus getting it right the first time

When I see a RTP I am going to check!


Put on my 3rd and finale coat of topcoat this morning. *Pro-tip paint when it is 70 degrees or cooler. Gives it more time to level before it dries. Or make sure and thin the paint before use.

Pump is installed! 2 shims on the back right 3 on the left and 1 thin one on the front left pump ear. Setup the trim and have it just barely touching the back of the ski at full throw.

Still working on the hood. Thinking I am going to have a plate underneath and on top to bolt the steering too.

And I have an 1100 on my shelf I am thinking about trying.

I have some ideas if it comes to that. But it wont be pretty. I have seen some Reapers with UMI steering so people have made it work. Just haven't been able to get any replies or pictures from those people..

You might want to join OzFreeride and post some questions there. Have seen plenty for sale in the classifieds recently, so people are completing the builds. There's a nice looking one currently for sale with a good spec. Might be worth picking the brains of the seller.

Got the engine out of the waveblaster and freshing her up. The boyesen Rad Valve reeds where broken and cracked in multiple places (got them out of an old tricked out waveraider. So have a new set on the way. New silicone exhaust hose, RN waterbox, limited slip tank and rhaas engine mounts. Ignore the mess of straps on the tank. Working on figuring out what keeps her the most secure.

Between the tank and the waterbox it doesn't look like I am going to have enough room to run my tnt blaster chamber. So going to run an SJ bpipe until I get my lay down chamber.

Also drilled out my throttle cable adapter for the JM HD throttle cable.

New Reeds installed! And adjusted the Zeel Wax curve from 15 to 22 degrees (matches stock CDI) up to 6500 rpms, then dropped it down to 15.

Ebox mounted! Have some fancy fender/bumper washers on the way to use.

And she is registered! Printed off all my ebay and paypal receipts to register it is as home built. .. Cost me 230$ in tax and fees.

*Have around 1600$ in odds and ends not including the pump or engine..

Hey so what's up with the masking tape ? Do you applie it backwards, sticky side out transferring bolt pattern to where you want to mount ?

Lay it sticky side down against what i want to copy, then peel it and lay it where I want to drill the holes.

Thank you
