Custom/Hybrid opinions wanted

Need some help! I've got my ski apart and man I can't find time to get out there and put it together. With a 1 year old and a wife time is hard to come by. I've already sold alot of stuff but can still put a ski together. Should I just say efff it and continue to part it out or. Take time ago from the family and put it together?
 
If it was me I'd put it together and ride. I've done a complete swap, removing one entire motor, electronics, pipe etc to a completely different setup in 4 hours. Should only take a couple hours to put it together no?
 
Unfortunately no shimming motor and pump always takes me forever
That's a day job. Installing the total loss is going to take a day. Them the test is pretty easy and would only take a few hours

You're an awesome salesman or a poop mechanic. I can reassemble a ski if all the parts on hand way faster than I can find buyer, deal with their bullpoop and ship off the parts.

I think the real question here is wether or not you want to keep riding. Only you can decide that.

Or you can be another one of "those guys" who never rides saying "you'll understand when you have kids". That's annoying as poop btw. Don't blame the family. Get a couch and take turns giving the kids a ride. The guy in Belgium built a side kart for his x2. This can be a family sport. I think if you have all the parts on hand and can't find time to put them together, you also won't find time to ride.

So, in closing, sarcasm aside, because I know what Is really happening is you are in a rut and want your boys to give you a pep-talk...

Sack the licorice up, put it together and go ride, or head over to the closest honda dealer and trade in your man card on a mani van. Make sure you get one with a drop down screen so you can put Frozen on a loop.

A mini van, bra? Is that really you?

That was all fun and joking btw.

Now would be the perfect time to upgrade your hull. If you have bolt everything back in, why not bolt it into something you really love?

Pump and engine aren't that bad. Should take you an hour, 2 max and that's being generous.

The BOB folks have a good vid that's straight forward, Wamilton's has one that comes up as related right after.

If tl takes you that long to get setup skip it and run a charging setup.

Once you have everything done and ride it'll be all good. Family comes first but you need your time too. Git'r done.
 
If you quit riding I will haunt your internet footprint. Every post you make will have a reply with a picture of a harry vagina until April when I finally morn the loss of a rider and get on with my build and my riding.

You def gotta just deal with the aftermath of your build not turning out how you wanted. Whatever that means to you...If it were me I'd piece together the simplest thing I could from the pieces you have...whatever works because we have like 2 months to ride...and lake erie will have some really big days that we have to take advantage of. In the winter you can down or upgrade accordingly and figure out what you really want in a ski.

I'll make sure you regret quitting man..lol :p
 
Just finished up lining up the pump and mid shaft. Got to make a decision on total loss or stock electronic. If I go stock I can have this thing done tomorrow. But I don't know how well that will work with a pfp on a 701? Any insights?

What's this OR trash you are talking? The obvious answer is stock electronics now AND total loss later. Anything less is just more excuses.
