Awesome. Thrilled. Perfection. Incredibly stable. Wants to flip but easy to counterbalance and jump straight too. My ada 850 is more than enough power. I like my riser bars and wdk steering. I love my footholds. Ran flawlessly on maiden voyage. Perfect hull for me. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Never had enough water inside to get anything out of the bilge pump. Tweeker hood bracket worked perfect. My wife accused me of smoking weed before I rode it because I couldn't quit smiling when I came inside after the ride. I win. No matter what anyone else thinks.....I win. Thanks to everyone who helped me. The list is long but you know who you are. I win.

I did have one issue. My pole squeaks. Loud! Running xmetal adjustable with tight pole bolts on the titanium freak pole brackets. I plan to try spraying silicone on it. Anyone else run into this?

I'm running the same set up and mine squeaks too. But only when it's not wet. When it's in the garage it's pretty gnarly, but as soon as it gets wet, it's fine.
Both skis are friggin amazing! Nicely done fellas.
Decided it was time to go a bit bigger in the Freak! Chuck at Xscream put together an SS865 for me the past few months and l got it installed last weekend.Hornedogg and l rode Sunday but l was plagued with poor performance.Apparently l had some exhaust gases leaking out and around the coupler between the headpipe and chamber.Didn't know it till the chamber finally popped off the headpipe.Tried again last night,same problem.l just got it all put back in with a different coupler and it was a pain in the azz to put on,so l'm feeling like this one will work! Already dark,so back to the lake tomorrow.
l have always been TOTALLY pleased with Xscream and the way the Chuck and all the guys do things.You will find it cheaper with other shops,but you won't find it any better!
Also,thanks to Jetmaniac for all the awesome parts and service he provides!

Good for you! A PFP on my motor is so unreal that the ski scares me now. Just sayin

Hey Sanoman! Long time no BS lol! On those couplers I ran stainless turbo style T clamps and NEVER had an issue. They're like $5 each, but worth it. Just my worthless .02
Hi Jay! lt has been a while.No,great advise,thanks.Let me see what happens tonite and hopefully l fixed the problem.Never had this much problem with a bpipe.
I have it pretty dam close on the tuning at this point.The rear carb is just a touch rich and l'll find out today if the coupler will stay on!
Ski is almost done, next home game is in two weeks hopefully my wife wont be in labor so i can go ride. There will be a few of us riding this coming weekend.
Finally dialed in.....dam,l'm slow! But gone to WF's and yesterday was the first time l could get back on the water.But Friday when l came in and started checking the ski over,l found the the bolts that attach the pump to the hull had fallen out and the other two were loose.l think when l towed someone in back a couple weeks ago is when it happened (just a theory).l bought bolts a quarter inch longer,cause the room was there.l don't think l will use the pump again as a towing loop.
Anyway,l got out on the water afterwards and had a ton of cavitation right at the bottom which was due to me being in a hurry to go play and not checking the pump and shoe for gaps! After a conversation with our parts guru the JetManiac,he diagnosed the problem.The man has many talents,not just selling parts!
l would like to hear other ideas on where you could attach a tow loop to the rear of the freak.
Any ideas?
