Pole bracket on a slide mount. so you can move the pole's pivot location in relation to the length of the boat. so if you wont a -4, slide the thing up twards the nose like the FS1.

sorta like a spin off of the adjustable binding/foothold technology, but for the pole

Rich, I have the idea of the year!

Billet Rule strainer baskets. I always end up with those stupid fingers breaking off. Make two out of aluminum and I will buy them!

or a complete billet Rul would be cool too!

The billet start/stops I would also buy even if it mean switching to a Yamaha style switch.

How about a 3 piece bracket that you can get diff side pieces for pivot points?

as a matter of fact it does at that. some crazy ghetto mechanic chunked it up with like 1/2" diamond plate. it would rip the top deck off before the bracket came out.

I would actually love to have a billet turn nozzle. And i think the bilge strainer idea is a good one too.

Would it be possible to make a billet bendix? those things suck.


make a mold for dollar coins and we'll make some cash!!

he'll be selling them for approx $1.65 per coin. plus shipping of course. who wants the first batch? LOL

billet bills....hmm...

Here's a prototype if you want to copy :) Been thinkin about making some more of these myself.

I may be interested in a bilge strainer too. I don't trust the plastic. That's a good idea!

I also always wanted some billet bypass fittings (pissers), bilge pump outlets, and bow eyes.

But... make a darn place to put a wrench on them! Either make the interior hole a hex or put a hex or heck even two flat spots so you can put a wrench on it. I have ruined plenty of these over the years trying to remove them once you put it on the ski already.


Say you put on turf, you have to remove the rear bow eye. Say you put turf on the side rails/nose instead of bumpers, you have to remove the front bow eye, ect... I get tired of rebuying these when I want to paint, returf, ect.. a ski!


I billet ebox with an o-ring grove would be pretty fancy too.
