how do you guys go about weighing your hulls
ive tried on an electric bathroom scale but it has errors
what did you use a regular scale with a needle?

 

[vomitspot]

yea im not gonna make my deadline found a few parts i dont have 1 or 2 are cridical
however im so close i could rig it might or might not!
as far as wieght
i nosed her up on a regular bathroom scale
when i did the block it was the same scale
we did fire her up tonight whew ! shes gonna be a hand full!
almost torqed off the gurny
next will be the awefull turf ... i hate turfing!
minor stuff im missing = steering nozzle(gonna rob my blaster ) ,grips,throttle cable bracket(on the way)
oh yea ran into a big hp set back!
my riva quick rev cdi dont fire oem worked pretty good but what could i have had?
i had to tap my 1 gal coors keg to get over the loss almost floated!
im not gonna settle w oem
we pulled 1/2 of the wires out of the elect box (stuff not used) (ypvs & gauge cluster) i think im gonna try to plug in my 760 quick rev again robbing my blaster
didnt take any pics of the new paint but i will
its not how i had it planned but the paint is growing on me

ooo dang

stator on the 800 is different than the 701 and 760. the riva cdi prolly work just not with that stator, don't know the specifics except they wont interchange. The stock cdi will actually work well enough to you get something else

 

[vomitspot]

tom do you know the rev limit on stock 800?
the stock 760cdi will plug in and run the ski with the 800 stator/flywheel
as soon as i get a chance ill be robbing the quick rev from my blaster and maybe the 760 rad flywheel as well, if the 760 flywheel will slip over the 800 stator
we are also comparing the magnets in the flywheel locations and keyway timing as well
it appears that the 64x flywheel is very simmular to the 66v i have those two lying around
will need to pull off a 66e for comparrison
the only difference in part # is the prefix-
64x-85550-00-00 vs 66e-85550-00-00?

[vomitspot]

all of the wires that are no longer being used have been removed from the elect box
ie overheat sensor,powervalve controler from the 800 cdi ,gauge wires....
jason

 

[vomitspot]

ok after some testing here are some results ...
760 cdi will run on 800 stator and flywheel
760 flywheel will fit on a 800 stator but will not fire the stator (magnetic fields are different)
so she got bolted up with the 760 cdi
ran great but...
the kill circut stopped working ?
i thought it was the switch but no its the cdi?
anyhow i plugged my 800 quick rev back in and poof ...
its working must have had bad ground or something?
pics comming soon

 

[vomitspot]

ok here are some pics
kinda got a little excited from the last time pics were taken and i guess i kinda skipped out on some pics
ski is 99% done and has already been in the water on 1-1-08 burr!

 

[Frosty]

Looks awesome J!!!!

can't wait to check it out in Daytona.

 

[vomitspot]

few more
this ski is amazing!
imho this motor in a 08 hull would put yamaha back on the race course!
the motor makes so much power it spins my 12v mag prop!
