Super chicken on floating jet port

[jharvey1984]

So I’ve been wanting a super chicken for a while and just now getting serious about looking for one. Only problem is I’m just not sure how I would store it. I have a couple of wave armor hydro ports I keep my skis on. It’s kind of a pain with the stand ups I have to “drag” them up on the port but not terrible bc they just aren’t that heavy. Anyone know if you can “drive” an SC up onto one of these things like most other couches. Maybe a stupid question but just wasn’t sure. TIA.

Are you talking about a Kawasaki 650SC? If so it is V bottomed like every other couch, just a little shallower and wider.

Yeah 650sc. I should probably clarify my concern. On my seadoo x-4 I have to stand up and get my weight pretty far back to nose up onto the port, then give it a descent amount of gas to “pop” it up onto the port. Obviously with the way the chicken is configured with the bench seat that’s not really possible. I’ve searched and can’t find any pictures anywhere of one of these things stored on this type of port so it just got me wondering if it’s possible.

It's doable but there's a catch. In order to get the SC onto the port, you'll need some momentum. However, the contact point on the SC hull is super weak and will most likely crack after a few successful docks. I'd recommend reinforcing the inside/outside of the hull if you want to keep it intact.

Ok thanks. I’ll definitely keep that in mind
