push fitting are the way to go. just have to know how to use them. They make push fittings to barbs.

Looking good, my wife does all my turf jobs (all the ones that look good anyways), she gets pissed when I attempt it myself (because I suck at turf and always rush it).

I've used push fitting on 100 cars I put air ride on and bikes.... I just don't like How stiff the line it and How bulky the fittings look and it's hard to get pump in with that hard line

All im saying is they may be a little harder to get set up right but I have never had one pop off. There are a lot of people that have more money into there skis then I do but there is no way im going to chance losing a motor over a faulty hose clamp. Never had a problem with taking my pump off in fact it faster and easier with the push connectors installed on my pump. Everybody to there own just my opinion that when set up right they are superior to hose clamps.
 
A few shots of its first weekend in the water. You wouldnt believe the frigen luck we had with it. Went to fire it up... no spark. put new coil,cdi, and stator in. fired it up.... snapped the starter gear clean off!!!! double checked timeing (looked perfect) put new starter in.... ran great. popped a hose clamp on the chamber and had some serious cavitation issues so im pulling the pump out tonight and making sure EVERYTHING is sealed. Ski seams very fun though and stable at high speeds to!!!

Ok so fixed the cavitation issue !!!! This hull is very fun and rides very well. I only rode for like 2minutes cause I was p!ssed off I broke the kdx but had full power on bottom end. I see flips being very easy. It handles well at high speeds too. Ian VERY happy with this hull. Full ride report and video to come.

I don't own an rrp but it looks like the bottom tubes arent showing in the little peep holes ...it safe ?? I want to see a rok r video not a lot are out there .
 
I believe there are 40 out there with 2 of them having the motor pushed forward. The rrp pole does not go. To the standard rrp plastic tubes. It goes to a single rubber outlet with rubber coiled tube.
