Hey guys, I built an awesome FX1 with the help of the people on this website. unfortunately I was uneducated about torque wrenches and blew it up. I then put the jetski fasination away because I bought a business shortly after I blew it up.
my business is now paid off which means I'm going to be looking into what ski would work best for me.
I'm not 100 percent certain I could build a ski from the ground up but I do have enough knowledge now to basically assemble the top half of a 701 motor. with that being said I started to get an understanding that if you put an power into an older engine it is typically a tough task to keep the ski running without replacing everything else around it. also while I was starting to invest more time into the skis I was starting to fall in love with the new hauls, like the rickter.
With that being all said, iv been trying to figure out what haul and what engine I should get for my next buy. probably going to save 15 to 17k for a new ski.
basically I have only ridden flat water but I really want to start riding in the ocean. I also want enough power to do the tricks such as roll and flip. i understand with the right practice it can be done with a 701 but i might want to havr the ability to flat water backflip too if its a reasonable option.
with the best research I could do I was thinking that the right haul would be a rickter edge FR. as far as the engine is concerned I'm looking for something that is a reasonable size to get the job done but not an ungodly amount of money to rebuild. (I understand this sport is expensive but i have already blown one ski up.)
the rest I'm sure I will learn with time but I just need an idea as to what I should be working for and what kind of money I should be saving.
thanks for the read.
