    UPDATE:

    Decided to keep the ski so this week we are putting a set of twin pipes ignition, maybe lighten the flywheel.

    Should outrun an RXP like its going backwards and jump like a superjet on steroids. :twisted:

    HHAHA they sure do.

    Just ordered today the twin pipes, ADA head with removable domes, Rotax Racing Reeds, Scat Trak Magnum 14 vein setback pump.

    Still got to sort out ignition and rev limiter.

    Should rip your arms when taking off, :lol:

    Got some more running in to do this weekend so im keen to hit port waikato or magawhai this weekend.

    Motor should be around about 200 hp mark after these mods are complete.

    Thats a whole heap of mods man!!
    Its cool that you took the time and expense to do up an XPL but do you ever think maybe a different ski would have been a better option financially?
    I dont mean that in a bad way, but my GPR does 70 mph and its only got a $3000 Riva kit on it?

    Yeah i could of brought an RXP and it would go this fast out of the box but then i would be like every other homo on the water. I had to go for something different and plus this is the lightest homo chariot i could find that has speed and good for surf. Believe me your not the only person to say its a finacially a dumb option.

    Hey dont get me wrong im not saying its financially dumb, at the end of the day individualism and customisation is what its all about. Having a ski like no other is awesome I was just wondering what made you go for the XPL.
    There are other machines that would have alot more horsepower for the money you spent and also would be one off's

    It has awesome handling and is so light when jumping waves etc. Its just a good all round ski. This will leave a GPR for acceleration now by a few boat lengths. One of the best skis ever made IMO.
