Well after having just about every single thing I needed to build a really nice fun 787 96 XP I found a nice Big Red Racing x4 hull and decided to go with the larger 951 conversion instead & sell the XP to fund this project. This was heavily influenced by my buddy Nick whom recently built a killer 951 x4 setup. This will be a slow build and I am waiting on tons of parts but it will be well documented along the way. Still working out some issues on the family GTX *thing has gremlins* unfortunately so this project wont get much love for another week or so. Anywho here are some quick pics before I do anything at all to this ski.
As for the plans I have a pretty solid idea in my head of parts I want to run and how I want to run them but I am sure I will have a million questions along the way. First 951 motor I have owned and the first ground up build as well. I haven't decided what to do yet as far as color scheme goes. Debating between my original idea or just doing a restore with the colors already on it including the BRR logo's but clean up all the rest. The hull itself is in great shape, a few holes from previously mounted hardware on the sides and some paint flake in the footwell's but overall not bad at all. Looks like a CF bottom and a stock top that's been grinded down quite a bit in various areas.
Some things may be mentioned twice as some items I procured a while ago and then found another option/alternative in the meanwhile I couldn't pass up. More pics and finally crack her open shortly. Waiting on the large items to arrive such as full motor w/pipe, head, exhaust outlet, skat pump etc.
I will point out this will be a pump gas build. I just want to build a very nice, super clean ski that will run its ass off day in and day out for rec use.
Hull:
Big Red Racing carbon fiber x4 hull
Carbon fiber two gauge hood *on order*
RNR Fuel Cap
Billet Exhaust Outlet *on order*

Motor:

White Pipe
Miller Head “45cc dome/?”
R&D Intake Manifold
Rinaldi Reeds
Exhaust – TBD, TRD or Carbon Fiber is the preference
Monitoring:
Koso EGT Gauge *needs mount*
TinyTach RPM gauge *needs mount*
Bilge switch+Pump+Outlet x2?
MSD Enhancer
Pump:
155 Bronze Pump w/Machined Shoe
Jet Dynamics #6 intake grate
Skat 148mm Pump *previously modified for 787 pattern*
Skat Venturi Exit nozzle w/insert *not sure the size yet*
Handling/Steering:
R&D Steering
Blowsion handle bar
Three button holder
Umi Finger throttle
ODI Grips

Good pic of the XP I sold and the GTX that wants to make my life a living hell;
