300/440/550 ***ULTIMATE*** 440/550 picture thread

[kankleGnar]

jealous of everyone's sweet ski's , just wanted to make my 91 550 piston port a little roomier

 

[caseville9036]

Here is the ski that I'll ride first every time I ride. I have been riding 440's and 550's since the early 80's but I have gained a few pounds since then and needed more HP.

$200 and it came with a nice metal rolling stand.

Figured id bump this thread back up with some pics.Heres my favorite girl 77 440-wisco pistons,worked head 185 psi,fully polished motor and engine plate,k & n filter,full total lost ignition,flywheel,and coil,pjs intake grate,pjs exhaust,pjs intake manifold,aluminum drive shaft,skat trak prop,mariner ride plate,little pump modification,jet trim turf,blowsion bulge with bulge switch/throttle lever,dual cooling,probably more i havent listed.

Here is old faithful for the friends to learn bone stock 300 besides pole spring,water box mod,and intake grate.sounds like a 400ex

[MCrider]

CarterB posted the pictures of it i pmed him asking the same question he said there from a custom motorcycle swing arm builder and he has a couple left im sure if you pm him he can tell you more

These are my two skis. The green one is an '84 440 hull with a 550 motor. The only motor mod so far is exhaust. In the process of rebuilding the 44 carb and having the head milled. The tiger ski was an '85 550 but that's where i got the motor. It now has a stock 440.

 

[davy87nj]

just picked this up today. Owner said the entire ebox was trash so I got it cheap. New(well new to the ski, actually came off an old hull I had) start stop and she fired right up. Rips pretty good, a load of top end power, hard to judge since its the only running 550 I have lol. Its hard for me to ride after riding a SN most of the time.
From what I know so far, its a 92 550sx. PJS Head, Exhaust, waterbox, dual Kehin carbs, dual cooling, 500gph bilge with handle bar switch, scoop intake grate and some aftermarket ride plate.

Heres my other 550, just sucked a bolt from the flame arrestor into the cylinders, so Im waiting on extra funds to fix, just tore up the piston crank looks ok.

 

[jetdreams]

its my cooler with bilge's.

 

[trash_status]

Heres my 90 550 before i hacked it up. Bone stock rebuilt motor <a href=http://s1080.photobucket.com/albums/j328/esadwagon/?action=view&current=20120827_185838.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j328/esadwagon/20120827_185838.jpg border=0 alt=></a>

[pilotpete]

here's two of mine .....the one on the tote is brand new never had fuel in it mfg:

 

[dsilver1007]

First ski is a 86js300 all stock other than a finger throttle and a ride plate, sold it this summer.

(red)JS550 picked it up and the (white)js300, the 300 runs with a finger throttle and a kerker pipe, the 550 has some decent goodies but the pump is locked up (hopefully getting a new wear ring and getting it ready soon) got the two skis for 275 dollars off of CL this past week!

^ That is awesome! What technique did you use to make the stripes?

Just ripped up masking tape. Some of them I used 1 1/2" tape and ripped both sides. Some are thinner 3/4" tape with one side ripped, then you put the two straight sides together and leave the ripped side on the edge. Its not to hard, just VERY time consuming.lol
