Hey Nate, Love your videos! Have a question. Does the Yamaha 500 share the same bedplate as the 650? I have a fresh 500 yami motor sitting in a ski. Want to know if I can purchase the Rhass conversion plates to mount the 500 into a JS hull (440). You have any idea? I know Rhass makes the plates for 650/701 to 440/550 hull..Just not sure about the Yamaha 500 bedplate.Cheers!
I don't think it does, but the 500 engine is super slow I wouldn't bother doing that kind of conversion since I think the 440 kawasaki makes more power to weight. The conversion to yamaha in the 550 is worth doing but I would do a 650 or 701 and make sure to have a good pump system and prop to make use of the power. Those are super fun skis to ride when done right. Best of luck!
@@nastynic007 Thanks for reply! Yes, I already have/built a 440/650 conversion. Great ski. I was just wondering about the 500yami. Because I have an extra hull and the motor is pooched. So I thought about tossing in the 500. Probably not worth the time. Lol. Cheers Nate!
nice job can't wait for the 750 pump conversion update.
