FX-1 making the first Tom21 carbon fx1

[nightrider05]

That should be one fun ski...I wonder how it will handle on flat water?

hull is looking great Tom!

 

[tom21]

had a little hickup on my part. I have never owned an fx and until recently there were sorta rare around here. now of course they are everydamnwhere!! I got some of my measurements wrong and we installed some stuff in the wrong spot, cut it out and reset it all.

This setup is laid out like this: motor, pto and pump are in the stock fx location. you would take the driveshaft and install it in the 144 pump and its done. what the original ski has is after we set that up he put the sj driveshaft in and fabbed a pump ring/spacer to set it back.

as of last weekend the bilge wall, motor mounts, cooling and trim tubes were installed. the rear of the hull just got cut back -6 and we will be fabbing up some hull extensions to make adjusting from stock to -6 and anywhere inbetween as simple as a few bolts.

Call it the FX-FUN. hahaha

 

[KTM434]

Could be the FX-21 (FX-Tom21)
or CFX-1 (carbon FX1)
just throwing it out there

 

[Joker]

CFX-1 is a dope name

 

[MRCOOLAIDKID]

I like fx-21

 

[EfX]

Fx-done ?

 

[tom21]

Call it the FX-FUN. hahaha

haha I like that alot

Fx-done ?

this was my initial name-pretty conceited huh? there is always room for improvement

I really like the CFX-21, just one problem-Im gonna make em in glass too.
fx-21 is good but I was thinking about LiTe-1 or LT-1 but that doesnt seem to convey in any way that its an fx-1. I dunno, my abilities dont extend to things like web design, and cool names(I mean my screen name is a result of Tom1, Tom2 and Tom3 not being available so in my impatience I just said F-it and said is Tom21 available? oh SHHHHHIT! that sucks. lol) You guys hash it out, somebody will either come up with a name so cool that nobody will argue or most will generally agree on one. its not what is most important, whats important to me is making a glass version for myself and beating the holy hell out of it to test it. So have at it, maybe I will come up with some swag for the name that sticks?

 

[tom21]

maybe 2 names? cfx-1 for carbon and (what) for glass?

 

[Sanoman]

Like the cfx-1 Tom! Got a nice sound to it.

To simple but gfx-1? (For glass)

KickAssFX-1

 

[EfX]

Not conceited so much as perhaps a goal? Way I feel bout mine...wish it were done...

But really, having options like you are planning, it really would be just an FX-1 that is indeed done.

Or how bout R>W riding greater than wrenching....as is often heard in your discussions....

 

[Joker]

How about fx-c and fx-g or cfx-1 and cfx-1

 

[naticen]

Does the name fx-1 mean anything or did Yamaha just pick some fun letters?

 

[SterlingSilva]

fx-21 for the glass version
cfx-21 for the carbon version

where do I sign?
