so Paul...in YOUR opinioin.....is there EVER a good time for a single on a T case?

whether it be a 48 conv., single 46, full spec...whatever???



Yes! Every rider is differant. a single will fit a lot of peoples style.
Here's the problem. Most everybody wants the most power they can possibly get & are willing to sacrifice , ease of maintaince, simplicity, tuning, reliability, water ingestion, & a host of other problems.
Power, The drug we all crave!!
Rick Roy, is one of the most fluid riders in FS history. Why? because he learned how to get the power when he needed it. He was/is a finess rider.
part of his total package is a single carb & special tuning to his requirments. end results,several world pro championships.

As a result of everyone craving the big power, I found how to make it. Now everybody can have it & learn to ride the hard way & never devolop a style. They are spending all their time hanging on to the power & not riding correctly. The big lesson to be learned is how to ride within your means. 90% of todays riders don't need the power I'm asked to make for them. They don't allow themselves a learning curve.
Solution: Port your cyl for the riding you hope to be able to do one day. Then de-tune the motor for the riding you are capable of doing now. part of that will be to use a single carb in the short term. grow with your riding & don't fight it!

While in Daytona, I let a host of riders use my Boat. JK simply said, way too much power for my style, Taylor felt pretty much the same.
Fabian was completely at home with it, & was pulling tricks that made me go WoW!!. Differant Riders have differant requirments. Build your boat for you, & don't get caught in the power drug. But, If your already addicted...........
I have more where that came from :Banane01: :Banane01:

I agree with that but power sure is addictive.
I love my motor but once I get tired sometimes my ski just beats:smashfreakB: the crap out of me.

Slight threadjack, but something I've been thinking about (what do I want out of a motor).

Well I'll admit to having a machine that's more than I can handle (FX1, 5mm stroker Lamey, 48 specs, Tricky porting). I don't do stabs, rolls, anything but jump (I'm a wuss); when jumping waves/wakes more than around 4ft high, I'd be better off with less power.

... but big power is the ******** on little stuff, and I like to pass couches (and other ski's) on glass :)

I think my ideal motor in big stuff on the FX1 is somewhere around a 61x/bpipe/msd (I assume I'll want more power in a superjet due to the weight).

Gonna try a 61x big bore/49mm single carb from Paul in a superjet, see how I like that in surf.
