I take it thats after hes been trying to tune it?or did he have any trouble stock?

He's been doing alot of work with Alan at Jetshed on the dyno, I've helped him do the head, crank, rods amongst other bits and bobs and our other mate grant is doing the turbo on his new turbo balancer.

The standard cranks are drilled for lightening on the big end from the factory but it weakens the crank and causes them to crack, even on standardish ski's

No totally realistic the stage 2 riva on an rxt is meant to be 72mph.

If your using it in the sea a worx grate works very good thats what i ran in the sea after trying rnd,worx,riva.

Feel for you mate here mostly in winter we have to launch at an enclosed harbour as cant launch from public slipways as they arent enclosed enough from swell and it just pushes ski and trailer back up slip.

Possibly if they wanted to chat about where to get injectors cleaned and flow tested or where to buy some bosch parts from, you know just the sort of random stuff you might phone someone on the net who isnt advertising anything up to chat about

If Phil were to advertise such services, Im sure everyone would be very happy to deal with him as he is a very reliable seller
