We spend a lot of time setting up pumps n props on our superjets,Blowsion pump cone with a c75 is a very good set up,but we also get on very well with the tbm,When I'm back from daytona will get to the lake and play around with the prop n pump some more as this pump has been pulled from my jet and is set up for that ski,it has made an improvement maybe 5%,but it is still spinning up,have the rickter in the surf 3 times now the ski is fantastic to ride very easy to flip,roll,flair and surf on,you get so much leverage on the pole where it's located at the front of the ski, some waves I wouldn't even consider to flip off on my jet I'm hitting on the rickter.the paint is very soft and does chip very easy,the turf on the side rail fell of on the second outing but it's looking like a surf boat now and I got this ski to ride and not polish so it will be put to the test .

You know how the footholds look really adjustable, but the plates runs out of adjustment before the foothold part hits the hull?

Well I don't know if I am an idiot or a genius, but I found out that if you flip the billet foothold plates over then you can slide the footholds nearly 2" further forward.

What are you guys doing for waterboxes if your running a BPIPE? I heard the ATP one fits well, but I really dont want it any louder then a stock box. Anyone have pics of the new XS box installed in a rickter (using BPIPE, not PF pipe)? How bad does the stocker fit?

No word on weather fr has foam in it or anything to keep it afloat ?
Also when you get a new one do they have a pump shoe in them ? If not I take it it's a sj one you would need ?

Depends on what pipe you are running if u are using a bpipe u need a spacer behind each coupler or order the cold fusion extended coupler for the rickter. the rickter's have polystyrene foam in them

ok thanks i am using bpipe why does it need spacing to reach the waterbox or because it hits on the ski somewhere ? what size are the spacers ?
also when running the single type stock air box on both carbs it fails on the lip of the ski at the back corner so we had to cut away a little bit of the corner of the airbox . anyone come up with a more sano solution . i wont use aftermarket filters .
Alex sorry i couldnt find you at daytona to borrow your ski . maybe next year lol . what engine/setup are you running ?
