hinks-
ideally thats what we would do, but im guessing you missed the part about we're jobless and thats what made start this project. thats why we're gonna go with the harbor freight gear box. if anything needs to be machined thats not a problem because another friend of mine is a machinist.
old man smarty pants-
that might be a possibility, do you honestly think that there would be that much of a difference between 5th and just leaving it in 6th
still looking for someone to help me post pics

Also be careful of your oil. Most marine motors are a dry sump lubrication system. You bounce around so much on a jetski that oil will have a difficult time getting up into the engine. If you don't go with a dry sump system, make sure you at least mount an oil pressure gauge somewhere in plain view for your first couple of test runs so you can make sure you are getting pressure and not air pockets b/c of the oil jumping around so much. You also may want to see if their are wind trays or trap doors for motorcycle oil pans. I know cars have designs (check out moroso.com and look at some of their oil pan designs) but I have never heard of bikes having such a design.
thanks for everyones input. photobucket is back up so heres the pics kinda shitty but bare with me they were takin with a cell phone.

what happened to post pics that will help us help you, "holy **** that bitch is gonna sink hahahahahaha that ******* motor is huge in there."
that doesnt seem like very much help to me. if you havent figured it out yet the first two pics are the front of the ski and the last pic is the prop shaft.

the ski looks so small ....
bring it to the lake before you do any more work and make sure it will float....
i wasn't being a dick it's just the first thing i thought when i saw it

Re: Serious Post Need Ideas!!!
that type of **** is my forte. you should put it in the water with the engine sitting in it sideways to see for sure if it is really going to list to one side or not.. it might not be as far out of balance as you think.
i would definitely hook up a slap shifter and a clutch lever on that bitch
