Custom/Hybrid stunt hull build up! short ski love <3

[pepperson4]

tested it, ran great, everything worked! felt so light and nimble and powerful compered to my oem hull. cavitates really bad down low though, like you have to baby it to get on a plane, then your fine. has a solas scoop grate, d cut ride plate, 12-17 skat swirl, blowsion stubby pump cone. engine has a b pipe, ada head, carbon reeds, pro tech cdi, stock 38's. video uploading as we speek. any ideas on cavitation?

Make sure your pump is sealed correctly. Also check to make sure your midshaft isn't leaking (letting air in)

If everything is sealed I would try the stock cone instead of the stubby cone.

Is the pump seal nice and tight? Impeller's in good shape?

 

[pepperson4]

should i be looking at the rubber seal between the pump and shoe? or where the shoe meets the hull? theres no silicone where the shoe is lgued to the hull in the tunnel, should i add some? rideplate is siliconed on.

 

[pepperson4]

BTW if anyone wants to trades poles i need a longer one, mine is 35 3/8" from end of pole to center of bolt.

Holy cavitation. That would be so annoying. Ski looks a awesome though. It's funny how much it sprays out front.

 

[hink320]

Looks like a fun little hull. Check for any air gaps between the pump, the rubber seal, the shoe and hull, fill any gaps with silicone. That might help with the cavitation. Is the impeller in good shape?

 

[pepperson4]

Think I found the problem...haha could see through the seal, about a 3mm gap, gonna silicone it. Impeller looks prime

 

[pepperson4]

filled the gap with "the right stuff" by permatex, and no more cavitation! thing rips!!!

 

[hink320]

Good to hear you got the cavitation issue fixed!

 

[Bobert540]

X2, glad to hear you got it running.

 

[iangdesign]

That cavitation sounded nasty! Glad you got it fixed. Sweet looking ski!

 

[j_rogers]

glad you found the problem! hope you like it.. can you get another video without the cavitation?? i want to see how yours responds/rides compared to mine!!

 

[Mdavies_02]

Please post up a video without the cavitation. It hurt to watch that first minute, but once you get it going she rips. Would love to see more footage now shes 100%

 

[pepperson4]

yea didnt have my gopro the other day when i rode, but will make sure to take it next time i go out!

 

[pepperson4]

heres a vid of me messing aorund doing some setup wakes. thing is rippim pretty hard! love the way it handles, carves so easy and slides nice too. really nimble. not sure why the video is so widescreen.

 

[subhard]

The spray off the front looks f ing brutal. Is it kinda nuts?

 

[Sanoman]

No,that is just the way the stunt hull does at certain speeds.

 

[j_rogers]

mine seems like it rides a lot more nose high, but that might be because my pole is mounted a little further back than yours.. did you try standing and plain out?? mine doesnt like to go at high speeds

 

[pepperson4]

Yea it actually rides really flat, probably cause the pole is so short as well. It rides well at high speed besides the spray haha
