People say that about most things they buy, especially about houses and cars. Sure we all dream the highest end of everything but for most of us it's just not realistic.
I did post a while back that I rode a rickter edge and the 50 Cal back to back for about 20 minutes each. The rickter had a big bore 950 Dasa with a B pipe built by blowsion (was told it was a 25k ski new). Overall the krash had more bottom end and I liked the hull more than the reickter edge. It just felt lighter and more flickable than the edge. Maybe it was because the kv997 was more powerful, not really sure... I actually went to this person's house to buy the rickter but ended up liking the krash more so I bought the krash. I knew I was taking a risk compared to a Yamaha powered platform but I have a few other SJs so I didn't really care. Since then I've ran roughly 2 gallons of klotz through it all summer and haven't had any issues. Others have had issues and Krash has been backing them 100%. If you are ever around Chicago on a weekend hit me up and you can take mine out for a spin.
You bought one of the 2 from the guy that bought one for Surf, and one for Flat Water. The 50cal is going to be a little more flickable than the edge.

Living the Dream Buddy, keep er movin!Lol yeah, usually in life you do pay a lot more money for things respectively. Corvette...Lamborghini?
Also, pictures. Last weekend I drove 9 hours with some buddies to ride Lake of the Ozarks. I rode 3 hard tanks, chasing boats. What happened? I pancaked a big flip and my battery strap stretched so the battery was sitting upright on top of the walls of the tray when I opened the hood to fill gas. I pushed it back into place and off I went.
I did, however, lose some bolts attaching the front brake caliper on my truck.
i'm really going to need feedback from somebody like you to tell what these are really like. i'm just not convinced that the guys that are posting are capable of giving honest and accurate feedback on power. i'm not really concerned about handling, just the 1000cc power of these. posting pix of flips and rolls off boat or ocean waves tells me nothing. I can do that on a 701
you cant and don't tune carbs for bottom end. the low circuit is either adjusted correct or it isn't. if you grab a handful, its adjusted properly or it needs tuning. yea, the head pipe can be tuned for max bottom end but head pipe screw adjustment doesn't give you monster bottom end instead of mid to top beast. a B pipe is not a race pipe and doesn't work like a dry pipe for mid to top power. i'm calling everybody out on their BS statements. low end pop LOL. close the bottom and mid screw and only open the top one and see if you get the bottom end you desire. if you don't, it aint never going to happen.FWIW:
Currently, the mid to high power in my 50Cal is beast. I need to tune the carbs/pipe back a bit to get the band towards the bottom end so that low end pop comes out to play. The pipe feels set up to race vs freestyle.

There is more than 1 way to get to a 950 from Dasa. The first way is with large bores and a stock crank and the other is with a stroker crank. I mentioned it because the power bands of the two types are completely different. Was hoping, with your deep of knowledge, that would have helped you draw a comparison. Instead you continue to undermine all the feedback people give you, that tells me something about you as well!
And that right there is the premise of a free market economy!
