Thank you for being here, skip to the large font if you dont wana read the gargle
Yesterday, I went jet skiing at my local beach/bay and realized that surf riding was definitely one of the more interesting and active, challenging and thrilling of the PWC experiences.
So im out there, on my 120psi 650sx 87-89 who knows #straya and i notice that you cant ride the waves like how a surfboard rides them ( " thats because its not a surf board")........
a surf board cuts into the wave differently like with the ski its catching, and wont crest on the wave and bob along so to speak lol so turning is difficult and everything is slow, and you cant be slow for da surf.
Coming off modding the 550, i now feel confident in attempting most things, if i have of course the right info and tools, materials, time, etc
So with searching about, ive decided I like to perform these mods at this will be a surf boat.
HULL MODS please read as some request info ie are question for that particular
1. Shortened hull mod
- i want as much nozzle to protrude as possible, therefore more control of thruster/pump
- looking for specific info about this mod particulary to the 650sx SIDE EXHAUST.???
2. Widen Tray with footholds no questions here
3. Reinforce the hull, bulk head, walls
4. ROCKER NOSE
- now i know what yall are thinking, thats tots gnarls bro BUT es possible ? given that it has a huge mofo water box ( should say silo ) and is a Side exhuast??? SO is it Possible to perform this mod on this 650sx 87-89. much appreciated?
if it is possible,
what happens to the exhust, can you run it straight out the side??? totally bypassing a water box?
also, has anybody seen anyone do this mod to either a js 550 , 650 etc, id like to read up and test the waters
5. Shape evrything ie the rails into the shorten hull cut into the rocker. One thing I did see was a guy that just cut the front bumper guard off, so it had a rickter style nose, but wasnt rockered, why is this done? whats the pros of this?
6. how about lowering the hood?? possible
7. Turf it up
Probs rebuild the top end aswell and crank if need be.
Guys i realize this is huge, and these are some niche, underground, xcore poopz style questions re the 650 qwaka.
Just answer what you know, if you know of any good build threads by GOOD craftsmen. no dead ends please.
this will be a cool ski, im interested in havng the jet entirely protruding lol, how mad ay???!!
thanks friends,
may your knuckles stay skinned
