Looks like you got your moneys worth!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not sold on the 66e motors. Maybe with the WDK cylinders but not the stock cylinders. Porting is not the greatest...
May be better off just using your cylinder and getting it reconfigured for an 8mm stroke. I would give Paul a shout since he knows your setup or XScream........ Those would be my two choices.

Yea can't complain there no problems which has worked out well the last few years as I have had no time for wrenching. This year I will put the total loss back on.

First off sortened hull and light weight , second a solid lamey and best with a skat trak pump , proped right low grunt . Like gil said THRUST INNOVATIONs trim . last alot of talent and a ton of back flops . i watched rick roy and bunch of other very talented riders try them for hours and hours before getting them and i am talking hundred plus attempts and coaching and video . there is alot of toming involved with all the money spent to build the right boat . But the easist way is to build an EME you will cut your time in half or maybe less .

Yes,well I know your trim would be my first investment and then the skat pump.
Will look into shortenind my lenzi boat I guess after I weigh it.
What does a stock boat weigh complete dry ,no gas,battery

I am not running a skat pump and I can do plate to plate backys. I do have a 5 mil stroker with an 80lbs xft hull.

Only one person who chimed in actually doing them I thought there would have been more.
What are you using for trim.Is your hull shortened

to much trim is a bad thing for the backy. I am running a raider endpeice with the pro-tec nozzle. Less trim = more height :wiggle: My hull is not shortened on the top deck but the bottom has a 6 or 7" sweep. If I had my 5 mil In my old stock length hull I still think I can do backys... i was almost nosing them in with that hull and a stock stroke engine.

Jetworks 62T/61X platform in a 85mil/6mil configuration + XFT + Virgin trim=
flatwater backy's. Wait till Crammit gets his trim and I will show how it's done
w/o a 1000cc motor.

Crammit LOVES Red Bull (which gives u wings), and I think w/about 12 Red Bulls in him I can get him to do it! If not, I know Derek is young enuf to try anything once. LOL And if all else fails-there is always my dumb azz. LOL
