Finally after a little over 8 months and 2 different hull purchases to try and make it faster my hull has arrived. badvinny i purchased my motor and first hull through and he was amazing to deal with but i ended up ordering another one because of several pushback dates from rickter. i posted a link on this website if anybody had one ready to ship and got a reply from a member who lived down under. he told me his was done sitting at the rickter wherehouse in thailand but it was a xfr i said sure whatever it took to get to ride it in my short short summer. it was done july7 but apperently that doesnt mean crating and paperwork i recieved my hull august 15 after paying 2000 to have airfreighted to a city 2hrs from me.

I'm going to changethe jets, springs , needles on the carbs and put the bed plates on the motor and I'm going to look again at the pump shoe. Its still not perfect...close but not there. Does anyone know if its absolutly critical that it is perfectly lined up? Its real close I would say 1/8" max gap on top half.
