So,
With winter approaching, what are your ski projects for this year?

Mine:
1. Lose ski weight. 30 lbs would be nice.
2. Lose me weight. 100 lbs would be nice.
3. 48mm carbs, flipped with pumps toward front to make it look trick and easy to hook up similar to I bodies.
4. Smooth water package, by copying the best ideas from you guys.
5. New graphics and Riva CF hood, primarily for looks and air.

I'll just ride the RxPig, since Riva doesn't have the fuel controller yet.

Plus, I need the SLB reliable to pull Insandiego's GPR back home.

My winter project;Blaster1
61x cases bluprinted
True and weld crank
race gas ported cyls with new Pro-x 82mm pistons
twin Mikuni 38mm taper bored carbs
Factory pipe ltd pipe
Factory pipe waterbox
180 psi head
It should be finished by mid December
Now what to do in January?

Winter time...the only time I get anything done...

Home:
Rip up carpet and put down hardwood in the office.
Paint the bedroom
Tile both bathrooms and the kitchen
Repaint the cabinets in the Kithcen

Truck
Exhaust (starting with Bassani Cat-back, then maybe mid pipes nad possibly some Long tubes)
Apten Ported Blower (whipple or Kenne Bell if the $$ fairy shines on me)
Spray in bedliner
Trying to figure out why the D**N trans temp sender won't ground to the transmission and send signal to the stupid guage!!!!

SLX:
Maybe (I stress MAYBE) triples if i could find a pair cheap in decent shape that would fit without me having to fab the front area to hold the PRO 1200 pipes...

GSX:
Get it all fixed up for a trade in towards a new ski (RXP, 1300R, New Kawi, who knows?!)

Other:
Sit around here and wait until about mid-winter when everyone starts getting on edge about not being able to ride and the wars break out...

Can-o-worms, here we go.

Bigger, faster and better.

First winter project is going on vacation to a warm 90 degree + weather in Bali. Hopefully long enough by the time I get back it will be 90 here too.
Ski stay the same for next year. Im pretty happy where Im at right now. Maybe play around with some props.

Sirhc 7897 , try a different ground location if possible.

Swap out cranks in my GP1200 (barely got it broken in after rebuilding the top end last spring), adding a set of pump gas ported cylinders (first they gotta be bored to fit my 85.5 mm pistons; cheaper than getting new pistons though) and hopefully finally getting my 46 mm Buckshots set up right (I just didn't have enough time to mess with it last year).

Hope to see 65 mph next spring (while you guys are running 70+).

Superjet is getting footholds, hull extensions, a one way valve and new hydroturf. possibly an aluminum pole if i can find one for the right price. mebbe a little port work if i get bored.

Novi 48's
Ski-Doo cages
Delta Force 3's
14/20
Jetworks on the triples

Catch the alligator that has moved into my new tank at the ranch. rp

Make sure that Hydrotoys RXPig is far far behind me. Word of caution when riding with hydrotoys. NEVER AND I MEAN NEVERlet him tow your skiHe is a heartless b@stard. He doesnt care that your baby just snapped a crank all he cares about is How fast he can tow your ski with his ugly RXPIG

I hope to have my ski running as soon as possible. I want to hit the water before it gets too hot and get some BIG numbers.

I NEED TO RIDE !

Top secret repairs to the RX Puker
Getting it to turn, Keeping it from sinking again. Getting Sea Doo to get my #2 RXPuker out of there shop (been there 5 months)
Rebuild my 1200 GPR Blow up the middle jug.
Fix my airplane, OPPS Crashed it.

Winter Project?
Ride until the river freezes over. Until then, enjoy the open water with no other boats or people in the way.

I would have gotten a Riva one, but they were out, and never called me back to tell me when they would be available.
