Surfriding Krashing into a 50 Cal... Stage 2!

[cam_lg]

Any new update for us? Looking good so far!

Im waiting on some parts from krash and a few others on the forum to get here first. Got a top end kit coming from @Nuklear Full bilge setup from @OCDSolutulions and a bunch of random parts from Thrust innovations.

Ok I know there isnt a whole lot of info and pics out there of these new Krashes so im going to go a bit indepth.

She Came in a steel cage, kinda bummed the shipping company left it out in the rain :/

Thanks to @///M5 for hauling to my place... and i thought it would have fit in the back of my jeep, lol.

On first inspection the padding looked.. well not great.

And then I thought they welded the cage around it lol... but nope one side was only screwed on. Ski came out no problem.

Turns out there was a metric poop ton of foam and bubble wrap around it, so no worrying about it getting damaged.

First glimpse of my Krash in all its glory. anddd I know what your thinking... well atleast i was lol.

Out of the box and just went from 6 to midnight... lol

Got a pic of their sweet hood release system. Man this thing is clean...

found a small knick, nothing serious tho. Looks like its just the sticker.

Wow, look how big of an opening that hood leaves when it's off! So much room! Very sharp hull. Congrats.

Jet Ski parts? What are those? LOL.... you should come stick your head in my closet and see all the
( hidden from the wife of course ) goodies I have. My favorite so far is the ATP billet battery tray.

any progress?

 

[Ochocoronas]

Yes an update would be great.

 

[cam_lg]

Still waiting on my crank and a few other random things to get here but this is what ive been up to during the wait.

Used a epoxy / ceramic based paint, we'll see how it holds up.

So this was fun... Had to drill a hole and insert this tube from the pump to the engine bay for Krashs new trim system. There new setup uses a steering cable type system and my hull wasnt set up for it.

So these are my breather tubes coming from the pole and I cant bring them lower into the hull because the waterbox is in the way. Does anyone know if this could be a real issue for the engine? I know its not ideal in a rollover situation but theres not much i can do about it..

Also shoutout to @OCDsolutions his bilge setup is sweeeet

 

[Ochocoronas]

That pipe looks sick! I plan on spray painting my bilge pumps black so they blend in better. With that much rocker in the nose and the water box and pole meeting right there it's going to be hard to get them down. That's the worst when you lose your ski and it's upside down. Maybe when it flips over the nose will set higher and the tubes will be really close to the water line. I would ask Chris about that one.

 

[Yami-Rider]

Its pretty common for the waterbox to be in the way on a rockered ski.

You could try smaller tubes more like what xmetal uses. They might fit with the waterbox better, but it will be a pita to go from big tubes to small with that setup if you already mounted it and ran the cables.

Thanks, I'll have to check them out.

While we wait.

Depending on your engine, the X Metal tubes can choke your engine some, since there aren't any hood breathers.
Is there no room on either side of the water box to route those tubes? I ran my RRP tubes to the bottom with a B-pipe and H2O water box in my Foot Rocket...

 

[Yami-Rider]

I would keep the big tubes.

 

[cam_lg]

The tubes come down right in the middle of the waterbox. I might be able to make a quick 90 degree turn off to each side of the box with some longer hoses, but my god was feeding it through those holes a pain in the ass.

 

[cam_lg]

While we wait.

Is that you?

 

[cam_lg]

Heres the carbs im gonna run on her. They're not the cleanest on the outside but super fresh on then inside... where it counts

I blocked the crossover with some JB weld anddd ended up with bubbles in the intake section.. Should I fill them in or would this work to run?

 

[Yami-Rider]

Bubbles won't hurt anything.

 

[cam_lg]

Im gonna say they create boundary layer vortices that atomize the fuel better

 

[Ochocoronas]

Is that you?

No. That bloke lives Down Under. That is my ski in my avatar. I really liked the color scheme of his ski so now there is going to be a twin in the US. We cannot let the OZ"s have the best looking ski you know. My pole is going to have 1 blue tube and 1 black tube so it will be a little different. Kind of funny that my exact twin ski goes on YouTube lol.

 

[cam_lg]

I ended up feeding one of the tubes through a bit more but im gonna need another foot or 2 to get to the bottom of the hull..
