I came across a few dudes that installed Bimini tops on these barges. I might do that. One mod that I will do is install a rack on the trunk to hold a cooler.
Laser man from PWC had a stereo head unit installed in the lid of that front storage bin and a speakers in the backside of the steering column and a bazooka type sub in the forward storage area.
Think a Jetworks flow control valve would work as well or just an inline restrictor? I don't want to take that exhaust apart. Getting the original fitment was a bit of a pain.

I would at least try a restrictor,they are bypassing half the water and dumping it back into the box

You think we could backflip it with a 1200 and a 155 pump? lol
Put some seatbelts on it or something.

Here is an idea put a shutoff valve in the line that way you can play with the water flow and fine tune it.
That's a good idea.
You think a three way stop-cock type setup would work in this location?

I don't see why not , they make them for Pex tubing that have hose barbs already on the shutoff valves , I have installed a few for cheap ass customers on Seadoos that have leaking inner crankshaft seals.
Bam! What u think Terry? Well see how it works. It's already a restrictor since the valve ID is 1/4". I'll try it wide open and tune as I go. I came across the ones that have the hose clamps built in, that r made for PEX. I decided on this one since I can be sure it isn't gonna get damaged/melted being next to the stinger.

Glad to finally see this come together. I finally have mine back together and she will be going on the maiden voyage this weekend....hopefully. I rebuilt and installed the 650 with a coffman pipe. To restrict the water to the stinger, I used a VCR connection. I drilled out a few blank VCR gaskets to different sized to restrict flow. When I need to change the flow, just open up the fittings and swap in a new gasket with a different diameter hole. My buddy did this on his superjet and it worked great.

I don't see any reason it won't work, it will be louder but seriously how loud is one of these gonna be with a stock waterbox even without water its not going to be loud.
Good news then.
I was hoping to water test this past weekend but I managed to tear up my arm on a MTb ride. Prolly keep me off my freak for two weeks or more. Maybe I'll get lucky and b able to drop this in AND keep my arm out of the water this weekend too.

Mine came out of California and was rigged for two batteries and two gas tanks. It fired up with pouring some fuel down the carb but don't think it is pumping fuel by the carb. The plug in bottom of the first tank (where the second tank connected) was blocked off and now is leaking. I can't believe I did not check that before I installed the tank...doh. One more thing to fix. If my wife likes the ski, I will tear it down for paint and turf this winter.
Lines are primed and all the odds and ends are tidied up. Did a final test fire and hose/flush check. She starts like a champ and purrs like a kitten. We'll see how she acts on the water tomorrow. Pray she don't sink.

She lives! Water tested today without incident. I may add an extra bilge since my daughters seem to like to putt around and just idle through most areas and the siphon isn't efficient. Another must have will be a "luggage" rack setup that can hold a cooler. Tons of storage in these things. Carbs may need a clean out since it seemed to fall off just a tad at WOT on a long run. She's def not a screamer, but the 750 pulls nicely. I imagine the 650 is super tame. Handling is like a flat bottom fishing boat. It power slides around corners. Chop is not its strong suit and wakeboard boats and cruisers can make things get a little hairy. I'd love to go crazy and throw a pipe and a TL on it for grins. My daughters would prolly hate it then. All in all, it does what it's supposed to do...cruise. I'm happy with it. Especially since it starts easily and purrs like a kitten.
