My only complaint was the slant back makes it almost impossible to sit while putting your ski or board on or have a kid sit while you are helping them get in the bindings. Also made it a bit of a reach to assist from the boat. |

They just use carbs in dynos because of the lack of tuning they need to get the engine going. A lot of places will have a selection of 2 or 3 really nice carbs that they use on all their engines to keep quality and dyno numbers consistent |

Pete, I really like the styling of the 90 to 93's quite a bit. The interior layout especially the observers seat which folds up and can put ski's and rope underneath the bow area. The angled transom gives it that distinctive look to it. Plus the straight windshield. The graphics as well. From what I've heard they make for awesome boats to slalom ski behind. I would like to do wakeboarding as well. I would like to be more mechanically incline. I would need to ask for help. I'm willing to learn how to work on an inboard. |

We would almost always used the customers Carb when running their engine on the dyno.It allowed us to properly tune it and eliminate any issues of a customer trying to tune their own stuff. (TIP: always clean a brand new carb before bolting it up) Thats how we keep things consistent. nothing worse than a loose chip or something from the factory finding its way inside the metering blocks. once we are done we just remove the carb and box it back up and give it to them ready to bolt back up and run. it eliminates any misunderstanding on the customers end and headaches on our end.
The only thing we use to use that was our own were the headers, (unless requested by customer or if it was a strange engine we didnt have headers for) Coil/ignition, wires, thermostat housing, and sometimes flywheel. We started using our own ignition components after watching a brand new set of accell 8.5 wires leaking. could literally see it happening. |

The slant back is surely sexy (see my avatar), though it doesn't add anything in the practicality department... Comparatively, it's the only aesthetic aspect of the subsequent '97-99 generation that I don't like (I assume the "bubble back" is more useful, though).

I always had mixed emotions about the slant back on the NWZ boats. But, I watched this video on youtube (link below....not sure how to convert to youtube), In the the first 10 seconds of the video, as the 90 takes off, the back looks like poetry in motion and it just seems to work aesthetically. Maybe the mixed emotions come from looking at the boat on a trailer.
