I had a pretty straight forward conversation with him. I think he could tell I was pretty adjitated (which is sometimes difficult b/c I am a pretty mellow guy). I don't think that he will be building prepreg x-jets or f1-pro's anytime soon. Both my ski and Mike's F1 are one off custom ski's and he expressed no desire to ever build them again. The F1 is just nuts and the x-jet is a 2 peice mold that is a PIA to lay up in prepreg b/c of the handlepole bracket area.

When he designed the REV he did all that with prepreg in mind and I think he just has a better system down for their construction. Looks to me like he can produce a REV (in glass or prepreg glass) allot easier than the X-jet. He has a team of guys that he has trained to do certain parts of each build in the composite shop, but the pre-preg stuff is all Jeff and he stay busy all the time.....which is why he has been hard to contact via phone.

Needless to say I did get confirmation that the hull is in transit. Just crossing my fingers that everything goes smooth from here on out. If I get a call saying they have the wrong address and the ski is in limbo I think I am just going to snap :biggrin:

You're still not behind me. I just got my hull back from paint and I'm doing graphics this weekend. I still have to finish all my aluminum polishing and install EVERYTHING. Get it done. You have plenty of time.

Have you seen the top secret :sneaky: Team Scream limited pipe modification that chuck's using on his skis? He uses a different diameter exhaust outlet and welds a shield around it to keep the water from coming back into the chamber. It looks like a great idea and it uses the same 2-1/4" outside diameter hose as the stock waterbox.

I might be running something like this soon, with a custom water box and aluminum tubing.

Chucky uses a smaller stinger with his engine packages. This isn't a modification just anyone should do. It is designed to work with the way he sets up his engines. You need to figure in your compression ratio/dome design, ignition timing, fuel your running and the type of riding you do when running a smaller stinger otherwise you can cause detonation.

I don't have a tracking number yet but I have a feeling that it is in bound. jeff said that they have my number and will do a call ahead to tell me that a driver will be at my house between say 1-4, so be there to help off load. I am off the next two days so it should work out well.

My buddy is loaning me his hull and I will be putting my motor in it to ride in GA.
