My Zen has run its first year ok, it does lack that punch when you want to get past someone though.

Do the Sikk engines mount the same as the Zens?

simon you can buy a lightened piston for the zen that will help things also you can do some port work or get it done for you.from what ive read and been told by a mate whos had both motors the zen is by far the more reliable motor,but you will probably know that? .spares are more easy to buy too id say.put it this way all the records for gas boats are held by zenoah motors,there is a reason for that you know.shes not let you down yet so id say stick with it.if you need more punch get it modded

.that said you can buy a modded zen from bonzi and they only charge an extra $50 for a mild mod.or how about this one,not a bad price at all

I was worried you might say that!

Looks like if i want to be competative i will have to lay out for a SIKK and join the oneil bros club.

Just wanted to be different!

Sorry Mart, missed your post, where are the hops ups available on the zen.

Would prefer to stick with it

hi mate heres the full list i think if you search the site you may find some parts to do your own mods but not sure havent looked on here.that said im sure you could sell your zen and buy one of these with some of the cash they are so cheap .you canm also send them your motor an they will mod it for $150 for a race mod and $350 for a ultra mod which gives it 5.5 hp.

SIMON I HAVE BOUGHT FROM BONZI AND SO HAS PETE AND WE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, ASK KURT HE WILL CONFIRM THAT, THEY ARE THE LAST PEOPLE YOU EVER WANT TO DEAL WITH,AS FOR PARTS YOU ONLY NEED A CARB 257 WHICH YOU WILL HAVE,AND A DREMEL,SO ITS UP TO YOU NOW MATE I CANT FORCE YOU BUT I KNOW FROM MY OWN MISTAKES WHICH IS THE BETTER ENGINE AND THATS THE SIKK,I RUN 2 OF THEM ON IN THE RAZOR WHICH GIVE THE PATRIOT A RUN FOR ITS MONEY AND 1 IN THE MAKARA....AL

Not keen on buying from the States due to the import tax, the strength of the pound does entice you though.

Mum and dad have a house in Florida so i can have stuff shipped there but they wont be over there until next year.

I have a new boat on order for next year so might be woth leaving the current as a spare and running a new set up?

Depends if i can get away with it with the boss!

martno1fan · « **Reply #216 on:** November 23, 2007, 11:42:42 pm »

Bonzi are great to deal with ive dealt with them several times never a problem ,my mates just got two new motors from them both modded no problems at all.Heres the one id get simon a great price too.Alan you havent had your sikk for a year yet have you? lets see if you still say the same things about it when you have raced it for a year as simon has the zen.I do agree though that its not hard to mod the zen if you know what to do.

by the way simon import tax on the zen is exactly £29
anyway why not go the full hog and get daves zen 7 at £335 for 7.3 hp

Hi Bill,

Got it this morning, make the most of your 15 minutes of fame!

Not read it yet. V tired, up half the night trying to get this new computer working and everything swapped over.

Hate the things!

Hows yours coming along?

Bill D203 · « **Reply #224 on:** November 24, 2007, 02:31:01 pm »

Hello Simon. It's coming along. Hope to be doing some trails soon. 3/4 weeks me thinks.
