Went riding today. Felt ski lose power. Pulled cylinder and found this. Very slight. No scaring of walls or loss of compression. All good right. Not when your 5-10 hour rear crank bearing has let go. Guess I need to go post thos in the Trivial Complaints thread as well. FML.

Not SBT. But prob would have lasted longer. This one literally has 10 rides or so on it. Maybe 15 at most. And most were not even half tank rides. The gray cloud continues.

I know you told me pretty much the same thing when I was facing this. It only gets better from here. Keep fighting the good fight. You deserve it.

2004 installed welded WSM. Ran the piss out of it until 2007 Competed 2004-2007 Am Freestyle. 2007 it let go and took out my cylinders. Picked up a new 760 crank. Ran it until Daytona 2015. But did not ride much those years with Izzy being little and everything. 2015 installed this crank and had one gremlin after another. Had just gotten them worked out and the gremlins of building a freak worked out and this. Just installed new Blackjack 44s few weeks ago. That was the last voodoo cure. Worked. Along with chasing an exhaust leak in carbon rear exhaust. FIXED. And now this.

Pretty much how I felt a month or so ago to find out my OEM trued and welded crank with less than 75 hours on it looked like this...

I was finally ready to ride after half a year off and had to deal with this instead.

Either that or a combination of different attempts test loading the ski onto the new deck transferred water out of the water box and back into the engine. I loaded it at different angles and then backwards a couple times so that's my suspicion.

I was overly diligent yesterday to ensure that it didn't happen again or if it did, I would know and be able to do something about it right away.

It did not repeat itself so all is good.

That picture was after a cut and polish lol. It's not as nice as it looks in the pic, paint in all the foot wells is peeling up and cracks all over the hood near the hinge. But it started as a $350 hull, complete besides motor. Had a motor with b pipe lying around out of my old squarenose so traded the SJ limited chamber for a blaster mod chamber, bought a fpp waterbox for $100, threw my old squarenose prop and scoop grate in it and here she is. 1 registration later it rips and pisses off the other blaster guys that have thousands in their skis that don't run as good...

Hull for a good a good blaster
