I Dream 10' Surf!
Well as alot of you seen it posted here on the x, this ski got finished on a coffee table on the 5th floor of the coral beach hotel in daytona this past year. It has been done since then, i spent all season so far beating the hell out of it, with little to no problems. So i feel its due its proper 15min of fame.
Fx1 kawi pump converted (poly foam 85 lbs hull), tubbies (for arguments sake well call them "blowsion style" made to fit an fx. 1/2 stainless cooling line. thruhull bilge drain. Footwells full length of the tray. (i cut my foot wells lower and with a more horizontal top, so i could lock in a bit) And of course it has to have an sj fuel tank.
Pole i made (it is def a copy of a goose pole but much better) i used actual bolt and turn plate bushings not little plastic washers, as well as my own style steering stop/ chin pad holder.
Motor has worked out as good or better then i had hoped. Its a 62t bottom with the stock dual 38s. 760 top end that i ported (with a few tricks to achieve compression and lower the port timing). This thing really has great all around power, yanks your arms a bit off idle and keeps on pulling all the way through. And yes it gets held wide open until i get bored and lift (often minutes at a time)
Ride report is......... took a little getting used to the light semi unstable ride it has. HOWEVER once i got even kinda acclimated to this thing i realized i could never go back to an sj full time. It rides very very close to an after market light weight hull in the surf. But yet when you run this thing at high speed it actually becomes kinda stable and turns better then anything ive ever riden. It def turns different though. It will not turn on the flat bottom and stay hooked like an sj or any other heavier ski. It needs/wants you to get it over on the edge and bury the rail, thats when the magic happens.
Thanks for looking, this ski is a reminder that with hard work you can build a kick a$$ ski for cheap. I have 2300 or LESS in this entire ski from beginning to end.
