Nice vid.
If you guys are breaking stuff and wrenching as normal. What are seeing fail or wear out?
I seem to destroy tanks every other ride. New straps and tank still comes loose stabbing itself on a strap hook. Small issues.
@700Pirate Start gluing hydro turf to your tank in rub spots. By the pipe, by the battery tray, by the sharp tank strap pieces... glue the rubber insulation under the tank down. Use the turf to pad out straps so you don't have to tie knots, because it breaks the rubber at the knot on old straps.
List of things I broke this season:
I broke 3 stock battery trays and a rad dudes aluminum one while learning rolls and flips. i broke all the tig welds on the corners of the old style rad dudes tray. I turfed my battery so it sits in my modified rad dude tray super snug and padded the top of the battery with a few layers of turf.
I reglued and replaced turf in many spots. Superglue works awesome for small repairs and seams.
I broke a few battery cables. I had
@OCD Solutions battery cables that the previous owner of my hull purchased. They probably lasted 3-4 years in my surf only boat. The inner wire strands got all funky and had built up a lot of resistance. Also broke off one end. Now running stock cables again from bruce but ill probably buy another set of ocd cables in the near future.
I replaced a worn out prop and i'm almost ready to refinish my 2nd worn down hooker for this season. Riding in the sandy water right near the shore wears them down FAST!! Also wears your hull corners down!
I replaced a set of pro-x pistons for preventative maintenance. wrist pin bearings and crank seals, 2 carb shafts/plates, a starter, a solenoid, steering cable, a nozzle or 2, a wamiltons rideplate i broke. A set of ODI VANS grips I wore out to the plastics then i flipped them and wore them some more. lmao. I broke a few couch motor mounts. I broke a UMI steering setup on my Tom21 hood. so i bought another...lol
I cracked my x scream reinforced superjet hul in multiple spots from stress of flips and rolls. Nose is still in one piece
@BruceSki I cracked and repaired my Tom21 hood in a few spots.
Changed to a mag pump from stock, Changed my throttle lever to a new tbm from the old style blowsion i had. Put a wetjet manifold and carb on my 61x. Its super dialed in and runs mean. WOT for as long as i want. Enough power down low thanks to

@Blue cylinders.
I went through 9 gallons of oil at 44:1. Just about 400 gallons of gas so far.. still riding! forget about the truck and my 100 mile round trips I take every time I go ride.
Right now my ski is dialed in and ready for some more beating. It hardly ever breaks on its own. Its just my riding abuse that is taking the parts out. and some normal wear and tear haha!!
I only work on my own poop and I didn't miss a ride this year. Only rode dads stock superjet once while waiting for parts.
