Tommy Rockets Aquabot Build

[Tommytunes]

The 2014 swap begins... 1990 SN to 2014 Tiger Craft V2 Aquabot

 

[Tommytunes]

 

[Tommytunes]

Motor:

61X case with single Mikuni SBN 44 carb
62T cylinder bored to a 760
ADA girdled head with 38 domes ( 180 psi )
MSD ignition
Boyesen reeds
Factory pipe bored to 51 - 52 mm

Although the cylinder is not an X model do not let this T fool you... Sure it is not a Dasa, TPE, etc... but... this motor pulls strong and has consistent pull from low to mid to top end... Also using an Impros 9 / 15 prop with a wet wolf shorty pump cone... Motor is out... some parts on order ( motor mounts, H2O waterbox, Aura handlepole, internal fuel fill, new fuel lines, midshaft being rebuilt, pump parts, etc... )

Well... off to Lima, Peru for 1 month... Getting married to my beautiful Peruvian / Italian wife... Stay tuned in 1 month... !!!

 

[Tommytunes]

SN is 100% stripped... Pump as well... Here are a few pics Motor mounts shot.... Midshaft shot.. IMPORTANT NOTE: On all AM hulls... you must use a RN midshaft housing... SN will not work... Solas 13 / 17 swapped for the Impros 9 / 15

 

[Tommytunes]

A few more pics... Please note for Solas prop removals... Turn clockwise to remove... Use a vise...make sure your pump is supported so it does not move... I used a few pieces of wood screwed down to the table to lock my pump in place... next move... push down on wrench in clockwise motion and hope for the best... these babies are on there... got mine off using no heat or breaker bar... I about had an aneurysm... but... she came loose... !!!

I am ordering a new pump wear ring... My new Hooker was rubbing ever so slightly in 1 spot and would not to a complete rotation without forceful spinning... Pump bearings are in great shape...

Shaft splines look MINT considering 2 motor mounts were cooked and midshaft ( well you saw the pics )

That black and white scheme looks mint. Nice to see an am hull build without a crazy motor in it.

 

[JetManiac]

Moving on up! Like the black and white graphics.

 

[Tommytunes]

Thanks JetX.... the best part about this motor is the single carb set up which makes for easy adjustments.... plus... the dependability factor... hit green button and goooo... !!!

Plus this motor rips... it is not a rip your arm off style... but... pulls good and strong all the way through the power band...

Loving the color myself... !!!

Moving on up! Like the black and white graphics.

Thanks for all of your help Chris... Jetmaniac has great pricing and super quick service... Many new parts purchased from Jetmaniac and more to come once I return from Lima, Peru... !!!

Like the wrap can't wait to see her done mine should be on the water the 19th

 

[Tommytunes]

Let's give some BIG SUPPORT... to my Florida suppliers... Thrust Innovations, Steve from Watercraft Factory, Chris from Jetmaniac & Chris A. from Thrust at Lake Havasu Freestyle finals.... Kick some tail son and bring back the GOLD !!!

Of course Tony from Tiger Craft.... Had a great experience working with Tony... Timing was spot on... Our agreed time to build was within the range given for this build... VERY HAPPY with this transaction !!!

Sick ski bro, imma be puttin my deposit down here in a couple days to pick up in Daytona. I can't freakin wait to get mine after hearing how happy everyone has been with these hulls. I've heard nothing but good things about the hull and everyones transaction with Tony.

 

[Tommytunes]

I am super happy with the Bot... Quality is top notch and I purchased site unseen... I had never seen one in person... ridden one... etc... Tony's time frame was spot on as we agreed... Communication was 5 stars and pumped up to get her built !!!

 

[Coxxy1019]

Tonys been incredibly helpful and patient with me lol. I'm currently deployed and I'll be back in a month, so the communication has been tough. I haven't ridden or seen one in person either but everyone loves them and can't seem to stop complimenting them.

Are you swapping out skis or starting a new build... ???

 

[Coxxy1019]

I'm gonna keep my superjet stock and not tear into to keep the reliability. I'm lookin into the JetManiac 781 with an MSD enhancer, b-pipe, lightened flywheel, and dual 44s to start. Once I get the cash I plan on upgrading to the TPE 964 and powerfactor, unless I can manage to get the cash for that from the start.

 

[j0hnny]

dont waste your money on a fp then. put a pfp on the jetmaniac

KTM434 is selling his TPE 964 at this current moment... Also coming from a BOT and in MINT condition... Shoot him a message and see if you can work out a deal...
