wow, you think that lamey powered octane is capable of flatwater backflips? Its got to be a killer ski, i cant wait to ride it, we are coming back the week of the 22nd
Click to expand...

I think the hull needs to be cut like yours, but when I had it out Monday I did a backflip setup wake... turned into it... dipped in... grabbed the throttle and it launched way past vertical (without pulling the trim and without me leaning/looking back). And it got lots of airtime, I wasn't expecting such a long fall back to the water, kinda scared me! In the right hands, I think its capable!

I wont be back in town until the 22nd, late in the afternoon. then I'll be unpacking, etc.

flash you need to do another build, i need some more inspiration. I have video of todays test but its boring, motor breaking in and we cant jump the ski until i get my beefy motor mounts in. Not to mention we were in our clothes and didnt want to get wet over lunch break.

Luke and I ended mounting the motor at a slant, just like my other setup. We had clearence problems using jeff's upright kit because my octane has a different motor mount area and thickness than sj's or rev's. I ran out of proper fittings on fuel lines so its a mess now, but i'll tidy it up later

Here's a short video of us breaking it in. We are not letting the motor rev too high or getting crazy with it until the weekend. Had to stay dry to go back to work after lunch break. This motor hits like a freight train, i'm eager to get it dialed in better as it is not prop'd or completely tuned. But you can tell by the video its starting to run well.

Hope to post a good action video after the weekend.

Very nice.

Can't wait to see it up close. Now all you need is sunny day and 30 MPH wind. Wait that is the forecast for Saturday. How lucky can you be.
