People talk lots of trash without even reading the whole article . Your worried about "beginners" on the ski and the power ect. Obviously you overlooked the part where it has adjustable
Ignition cdi with 4 preset map powers levels that can be changed with the flick of a knob . 70 , 90 , 120 , and 160hp . Anyone riding surf most likely won't use anything more then the 120hp setting and if your new to the ski put it even lower . Anyone who says 12k isn't cheap
Obviously hasn't done a complete build themselves . If the motor is everything it's promised many of you will look very foolish . I too prefer building my own equipment but you cannot duplicate this performance for the money . You could have the same hull and goodies with a stock 61x single carb for that price only . Either way I have One ordered so guess we'll see

Good luck with your ski I'm interested to see how there components, drive train, and pump hold up I stated above i can build a ski nicer for that price which I have done and with reputable parts which are proven by years of use. I do commend krash for there efforts to bring rtr skis to market it's just not for me

How many 1000cc ski's have you ridden?

@Big Kahuna i dont even like riding 1000s in the surf lol

@Mr_Bucket im with BK on this one. A fine tuned 701 with mild bolt ons is still to much power for some beginners. Skis with scuppers generally dont do good with just casually swimming back to them. And in the surf you dont casually do anything, its hang on for dear life so you dont loose your investment lol . Strokers dont do good with water either or "newbies" for that matter.

Mine all failed within 1 ride. The second round of parts that was sent out is still kickin strong in another ski.

I'm very curious of this CDI that can take a boat from 70hp to 160hp. Over twice the power with the flick of a knob?!? If Krash has the innovation and ability to turn a powerplant from stock 701 power to 1100cc power in the flick of a knob then that is one thing I will say IS pretty freakin awesome. I don't see how that is possible with all the same bolt ons, I'd feel like port size and timing would have to take more play in this rather than the electronics. Hell MSD better copy that idea if so! And Krash needs to patent that sh*t! I still don't like the product and won't get one, but that is very cool if that is something that actually works and is durable and last more than just a season.

And I can't see this boat ever being flatwater unless that knob turns another 90* lol. I'm sure Lee Stone could make it a flatwater boat. Its a heavy ass boat in the end, boat chaser or lake rider sure. @emcfetr1 Its not if people in this sport don't think 12k is cheap, its the beginners that this is targeting was the context you left without mention. I think 12k is cheap, and people I talk to that are not in freestyle think I am crazy. They have 4k in a superjet, that is still not that cheap but very doable. This is not a ski for those people, the beginners that are not on a boat. Is this a great deal for someone in the sport that has this invested in a parted boat? Yes it sure is for that person who trusts Krash or someone else besides themself or a known builder to assemble a ski of that value especially without a warranty. If the motor or the whole ski is as promised, its not that we will look foolish. That comment is foolish, because someone disagrees with you they are now foolish?? If one of these ever surfaces and I get a chance to ride one I will very much speak up and admit my gut was wrong about the product. It's admitting being incorrect, not unintelligent.

I have built a good number of skis, I have sold very many, and I have spoken to a large number of people in the jet ski community that want to get into freestyle and am confident none of them will buy one of these skis. Because 12k IS NOT cheap for any body, especially beginners. Now Krash I didn't see state that this ski is for beginners except for the knob thing. I don't think they where looking at the price tag when they mention beginners, if they did then just SMH. But my statement about not for beginners is to all those that keep saying great for beginners and getting them into the sport. As mentioned above though, for anybody in the sport as much as most of us are, then 12k is cheap looking to most of us. That I will agree with.

I'm not reading all that lol ^^^^

How can they change the cdi and demand all that power and not change the fuel/jetting?!

Only the first paragraph was meant to be read, the second half for the guy I tagged. Sorry for the essays I'm writing lol, Just means I strongly disagree haha.

But I'm with you on the CDI, doesn't make sense unless its something they took off the back to the future car.

 

[Flyboy]

I think what they are targeting is the dealers. Yes people still need to buy them but I can't tell you how many people that I know that spend 12-14k a year on a snowmobile because the dealer finances them and they pay 300 dollars a month. Krash will sell more skis because of the financing that will be available than anything else. My 2 cents

All the negative talk is hilarious.

Let the damn thing come out before you rip on it. Give it a chance. 12k is a steal and I hope Krash kills it.

Yea I'm biased...I wrote the article and interviewed Nick. But, I think this idea is awesome. 12k for all these and sold in all 50 states? How can you beat that? We can buy these in California now. Can't even buy a SJ here.

I am very excited to see how this takes off and am glad someone stepped up to the plate to make a RTR aftermarket ski. I can't afford one now, but I will definitely be buying one next year. We've had a lot innovations just this year with this and the electric ski.

A "beginner" won't be buying this ski . No beginner spends this kind of money . I'm personally buying one for the cost savings and the fact that every part will be brand new. Even if you look at it compared to their $8500 drop motor in package , your paying $3500 for a bpipe , tank , waterbox , motor , carbs, electronics ect . You add those things up and you literally are paying $1000 for the longblock motor . So honestly for a grand , I'm not too worried . Only thing your buying for $1000 is a stock superjet longblock

Really, A good friend on this site has a friend that ordered 2 bull blown skis built by one of our larger dealers here. Talking 20k each. Guess what, NEWBIE........... This happens more than you know. Guy buys a SJ. Likes it, 1 month later he is picking up a used KDX with an XS1200. Happens all the time.

That said, I think this ski is a great deal providing the quality is there. As far as the ability to dial it from 70 - 160 hp, Your not taking a 70hp motor and making it a 160 hp ski. Your taking a 160 hp ski and de-tuning it back to equivilent of 70 hp. This is remapping the timing curve. Basically choking the power. How well is the power at 70 hp? Hard to say, But a stock 701 may actually feel much stronger than this motor. But the tuning package may also control the power valves in a way that makes the 70 hp option an arm ripper. Wish then all the luck. I like what Nick is doing. I like his innovation. He is doing something that only XS has done. Difference is he is marketing this as a RTR ski. XS has been doing this for years but just not marketed it this way.

 

[emcfetr1]

Ok fine ^^^^^ your right . Krash is so stupid why couldn't they make a ski that could adjust power settings from 70-160 and be perfect in every way and offer it rtr for under 10k . I mean I have an uncles brothers friend who bought a ski for less with better parts . You guys will complain even if you won the lottery bc of the taxes you have to pay i swear

 

[Big Kahuna]

Funny, Trying to figure who "How I am complaining"......... May want to open eyes and read with open thoughts.

 

[Ochocoronas]

Beginner here...in a since. Got my 50cal in Nov 2016. Many years of skeateboarding, surfing,motorcross,car racing have helped but it was my 2nd stand up behind the FX1s I bought in July 2016. I would of bought a RTR ski if it would of been around at the time. Krash skis at heavy, stable and handle big power better than most. I find it easier to ride my 50cal since putting my Dasa 900 in. $18k so far...$12k is a deal to me. Please don't take this in the wrong way .... it's only a great deal if you can afford it. I see a lot of really nice cars that are great deals but I don't have the money to buy them lol.

 

[emcfetr1]

If you had and rode an fx1 , probably one of the hardest oem skis to ride then I wouldn't consider you a newbie . Attracting "newbies" to me is what seadoo did with the Spark . Bringing the pricepoint down in a small efficient smaller craft and getting people into the sport who otherwise deemed it too expensive . With krash I believe they will attract people who rode or ride superjet a, fx1s , and alike stabdups who can't cough up 15-18k for that type of build . If some rich dude who rode a ski once wants to buy two 20k skis then cool it's rare but It happens. Maybe someone should of pointed in another direction instead of just seeing dollar signs but yea know I do see "those" skis posted by "those" rare guys on here for sale loosing their butts on it when they realize their backs and knees can't take the abuse or it was a couple time fun thing and not a forever hobby

@emcfetr1 My uncles brothers cousins nephew says you sound like a big time noob

This isn't an engine with variable valve timing, and injectors bud...

It's a simple mechanical air pump. With jetting set for a specific port timing, timing curve, prop pitch etc etc etc etc etc etc. we're not saying they didn't create the cdi that does this. And no one is discounting Krash. We're just saying we don't understand. Your so fired up defending your own noobness your not reading anything BK is saying


And you would be very surprised how many random rich dudes there are out there that are not a part of our online keyboard cowboy community that drop huge money on turn key skis from blowsion and thrust etc

 

[emcfetr1]

I'm fired up purely from all the negativity . There is enough of it in the world and its become a common thing now days to just find a negative perspective on anything new. And the fact that most of it comes from people who aren't even buying one so they should simply leave it alone . I know all the past negatives concerning krash , I can account first hand to the experiences of a krash hull and tigercraft . If tigercraft put together a package like this i would have my deposit on that not krash . But all that being said they are trying to evolve the sport and the only people who seem to be talking bad and negative about it are people who ride $20k skis or aren't associated with Krash which is normal I
Guess but yet again ruining the spirit of this sport . Everyone talks "community" in the Jetski world but yet you see so much negativity toward companies trying to make it more affordable for people. That's all I'm saying about the subject I'm done talking about it , all you site supporters can get together and call me a Newb or whatever it's really irrelevant. Iv met enough people in the Jetski world who may like one manufacture a whole hell of a lot better but because they are sponsored by another they jump up and down saying it's the best ski ever to encourage others to buy it which is fine, you do you . But atleast wait till the ski hits the water until the negativity starts being talked .

 

[MarkWalker]

I Really think you are over-looking the "littles" that put your build way over budget.. some of which are included in the $8500 kit... but lets say at $8500 is where you start... used motor $3500, carbs$1k, reeds/intake/fa's $500, Starter$100, bendix $50, Motor mounts $100, straps, etc etc etc.... The list goes on... and that's all used parts (which I use a lot of but after getting 2 gallons out of a used motor before carb screw went thru it) im kinda prone to more new than used stuff... Can you build one for what they offer? new, there's no way, used probably if you are ok waiting to find great deals on used parts and hope the are good.... If they sold a fixed steer tray ski, I'd be all over it for that $12k.... the reaper isn't the same even if the bottom deck is lol... my bot cost me a HELLA lot more to build.

Also keep in mind the 100 trips to Ace Hardware for the 1 screw you are missing lol... if you just WANT to build a ski, I get it... that's 1/2 the fun but if you're over it, then this is a great way to buy an aftermarket ski cheap

Hell, I wish I would of kept track of just what I spent in shipping.

We would absolutely love to offer packages like this I wish we could get our hands on cheaper engines,pumps,electronics with unicorn gypsy switches and make it all run on 3 types of bubble gum . The fact of the matter is you can't always get what you want. We've worked hard to develope a solid name with our products and not cut corners. I could use cheaper glass or resin and cut the price of every unit but why? This is a hobby sport in a niche market,you get what you pay for. I'll stick to building Porsches and I'll see you at the ramp with your prius.
