Dude what a Build..... Cant wait to check it out in person at the Free Ride...... Hey on a side note I got a buddy who put his stand up in Norman 2 days ago... Said he ran into some people at the ramp that were going to put up buoys at Govenors Island... Was that you by Chance?

Nope, it wasnt me...I was supposed to be there but I went via Pontoon instead. It was probably my friend travis.

Edit: Feel free to give your buddy my number 607-341-3571. I ride quite often and live right on the lake.

Have you ridden the ski with that new steering yet? Looks nice!

Nah bro, got the steering yesterday and was going to ride but got stung by a bee (im very, very allergic) and was just hoping I wasnt going to die! Stabbed myself good with an epi pen and im better today. My foot looks like one big a$$ sausage with 5 little sausages connected to it, and it feels like Thor hit the outside of my thigh with a hammer....

Going riding today or tomorrow thought!

Im getting closer to actually completing a flip....ive got so many flops under my belt lol. A lot of my flops are off terrible wakes/setup wakes where I just go for it anyways for the sake of getting more experience. There is so much stuff to do and think about in like 2 seconds, and its hard to keep it all straight. Its real fun putting on lack luster shows for any boats that will throw me a wake.

My body hurts after this weekend, but wow, I am having so much fun that I cant stop riding. I burned almost 10 gallons this weekend (which is a lot for me, and a lot of kart tank fill ups). I am having a lot of fun working on flat spins. 180s are cake, and I am working on a 270 haha.

Over the pivot steering is awesome. It feels so natural, and I dont see myself changing that steering setup anytime soon.

819 5 mil stroker, dual 44s, b pipe with H20 waterbox, 61x lightened flywheel, msd enhance, and a 144 solas mag with a hooker. Not sure of the actual pitch at this point but its like a 9/16. I am spinning the prop and the motor is still super rich...slowly learning this tuning stuff. It runs good enough as is where I can have fun with it, but I know there is more in it. I think a couple changes to the impeller/pump cone will make a lot of difference, but I am busy during the week and making all these changes takes time for me.

I just upgrade my intake manifold to the PowerHouse Performance manifold with speed plate so making carb changes will be much easiler now.

Now that jetting changes will be a piece of cake, and I wont have to cuss and throw things every time I drop a damn carb mounting nut, I am going to spend some quality time trying my hand at this whole tuning thing.

Yea, yea....I know. Unfortunatly, my financial plans and jetski wants dont align very well, so its a slow upgrade process from here on out. Ive got a good enough start to progress pretty far as a rider, and now every upgrade I want (bigger pump, PFP, bigger carbs) is like $1500 each...so that will take some time to complete.
