ya ive tried, nxt time i am in florida im stopping by his house with a uhaul.:cheers:

 

[JESSECONSOPOLUS]

anyone know what pitch impeller i would need to start with on the kawi? i bought a pjs pump and it came with a 15.5 pitch imp. i weight 175lbs. i want top speed on the stand up. i am also interested in a skat trak imp. for the 97 gsx. the pump will need to be rebuilt over the winter and i am going to put a new imp. in as well.

 

[JESSECONSOPOLUS]

oh ya, if i am still not pleased with the powerplant, im slapping a 787 engine and pump in it..........slap a big seadoo decal on the side.......prob. snap the hull right in half but how many 440 787's have you seen?

 

[kustomkarl]

uh...I think it would be a 787 silly ...not a 440, and be called a "SeaDooSki " :rofl:

Jesse, nice mustache. Oh yeah and get the seadoo..

 

[kustomkarl]

Uh...I only stopped being competitive 12 years ago...I'm not that old. As for seadoo decals try a local graphix shop to make up what you need. There are real cheap.

ah the ole' green one's. man those were so cool. like a green toothpick in the water. i think they had yellow and black ones then too eh?

 

[kustomkarl]

No they were White with a Red and Blue stripe. I don't think they ever had a Green one. The first one was yellow, in 1977 I believe.
