Thanks to all suppliers for putting up with me for this build, as I can be quite picky. To name a few, Kyle at DASA, Mark from Power Factor, Ed from Full Spectrum, Ray from MSD, Paul from Team Xtreme from the great white north, Phil form P&P Performance for all the assistance, Phil at Crankworks, Pat/Jason at X-Scream, Chris, Jetmaniac, Brian from Thrust, Steve at Fast Elements, Brian/Josh from Rage Composite Works, Erik from TPE. Andy from Zeon's automotive. Nick from Team Xtreme throwing down the vinyl. This truly was a collective effort and without any of these individuals I would not have been able to complete this project.

Components:
X-Scream KDX Carbon hull
X-Scream pole, pole mount, steering, bars, rideplate.
DASA 16mm 1100, fresh pistons, rings, bore and hone
SB products 16mm billet cases
Light weight 16mm Crankworks crank, new
195psi DASA custom domes for 50/50 fuel
Power Factor Pipe, custom ported, made etc
Full Spec 49mm ALVR carbs
Boyesen intake and reeds
OEM Midshaft Assembly
MSD Total Loss dual digital
Odyssey battery/charger
Rule 500 bilge, rotary switch
X-Scream Scupper
Maxx 148mm 14 vein set back Mag pump
+4" extended drive shaft
Thrust bored trim setup, trim handle from H20 products
X-Scream throttle

There are way to many hours into this build, more than i have ever spent on any one ski. And that is a lot for me to say, lol. This has truly been a labor of love and has been way too costly and time consuming compared to any other build, but that said I have learned a ton and each time I do another project it is a great learning experience.

One quick trial on it Sunday and it seems much more powerful after taking the winter off for the complete rebuild. The first ride with everything done as pictured will be this weekend at the DRR in Ontario. I hope this is going to be a good season for me personally riding. Time to hone my skills and take it to the next level.

Worked awesome this weekend, but i didnt. LOL landed on the hood, time to tighten up the footholds and try again. The newfound power is awesome. Cant wait to get used to using it and warmer weather.

The labels are from Hot Products, should be avail right from Race Temp as well.

Had to redo the footholds after last season, they were slippery. Landed on the hood from a superman BR on Sat. Still hurting from that one. A little Hydroturf love and hopefully im set. I may have to add some more to the top or change the bottom turf, but one step at a time to make sure its right.

Wow, the new footholds are super tight, so tight i had to pull my foot out one time yesterday when i really kicked in. LOL I can see where the tighter footholds are going to be a nice benefit for FW. Just need to wear them in a bit on the right foot, or do a little work to that one. It is so hard to tell on dry land how they fit. You really need to be riding to test out the holds. Some light chop yesterday, but this ski is now perfect in my mind. No more excuses :)

Very nice riding this now that the holds are broken in. I think this will be perfect for a while. Time to go burn some fuel :) She runs strong, really strong thanks to all the tuning tips from everyone involved. It still has more considering im running 50/50 with 195 psi, I could get more out of it but right now its capable of anything. I still like the reliability so the last 10% I dont care about. Frostys 12' plus flatwater BF on it Sunday has shown me its time for me to just ride and no longer tune. :)

Ski is perfect now. I need some more ride time, but this ski can accomplish anything easily. Really tuning everything in to my liking now. For the flat spins I noticed the pole really needs to be tight.


Some fun from Tues night riding with the crew.

Quick clip from Miles mountain on Sat. What a great event. It was good to ride with the crew again. Thanks to Skyler for the video. Pat was killing it on every ski Sat and Josh was out of control. Andy was having a blast on all the skis. Great event, thanks MotoOption for the invite to this awesome event.

Swapped out the Maxx 148mm pump for one of the H20 Torrent pumps. Really digging the new found hit :) It seems to hit harder now further into the power band with the same impeller etc. I may need to prop up and see how that is. I need some more flat water to ride, really starting to like riding flat now.
