97 Superjet Project- its bad, don't laugh

[tom21]

bought the ski from a friend, missed picking it whole by a few weeks. Need a stock hood if anyone has one. wish I had the moneyto duplicate shonuff's build. But I will do my best to polish it up just a nice. O.K. I'm ready....tear it up.LOL

 

[tom21]

sorry, I suck with posting pics. it is asking to open the program with some crapapy photoediting program I have. anyone have some advice?

 

[tom21]

hate to say it but I can't add my pics to the gallery either. Help

 

[tom21]

yes, its cheesy but its the only way I could make it work. I have 7 other skis and two are standups. I have rebuilt and replaced motors. I have worked on cars for 15 years as a mechanic, so I have a little skill. I only say this to avoid the same responses of you need to junk that and......... whatever. Nothing here scares me, not even a little.just need a hood and some hardware. the other stuff will come along as I go.

id part it out and keep the hull and find another ski...

probably be better off.

you will spend a long time trying to put that all back together and get nickle and dimed to death when you need something.

 

[tom21]

this is 98% here. just need a hood and the hardware. some is in the hull still. oh and a battery but I have a few of those. and motor mounts and fuel line. but thats all, nothing else. except some turf, oh and some plugs and a fuel filter, but thats it, thats all I need. nothing else. except some grips, yeah thats the ticket!

 

[demolition_x]

good luck.

i have bought a few projects where people took it apart and i tried to put it back together.

not knowing where stuff goes and what bolt is used where got the best of me. i ended up selling that ski.

theres more than what meets the eyes.

There is a lot of us that can't view those pics cuz we are banned from pwcyesterday. Just a heads up.

 

[tom21]

crap sorry again. aka kane gave me the head sup onhow to do it, heading out to workget it done later.

I have no problem with the hardware its just the gutwrenching feeling that if I had robbed a 7-11 a few weeks earlier I would only be missing the hood and it would still be in one piece.

[Shonuff]

I can't wait to read your build.

:cheer:

 

[Shonuff]

Why does it have dual 44s?

 

[tom21]

saki, are you pulling my leg? cause I would be eternally grateful. more than that. I would owe you- big time. I can send some cash with some guys I know are going to sebbey.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

10-4. I can bring that hood back for ya.

Kinda funny. One of sakis hoods headinv over to sebby.

One heading back.

BTW- it is yum yum yellow!!!

How much $$$$$ did you give your "friend" for this boat? I just want to keep up and see if its worth it in end?

 

[tom21]

shonuff, I was told a lot of "things" by my friend that I got the ski from. it is supposed to have a little shaved off the head, an MSD ignition(maybe), and of course all the stuff you see. can anyone confirm if that is a B pipe? it looks much worse than it is. the motor spins. In fact, if I didn't plan on trying to clean it up, I feel confident that if I had all the hardware I would be riding it tomorrow. provided I had a hood. nothing a good scrubbing and some paint cant fix. Plus I have shonuff's build to use as a guide. I love the way you p[ainted the inside of the hull. first thing I do.

 

[Ollie Rastabean]

It actually look slike most of the bits are there.

You just might be missing some bolts and such.

Make sure you pull the elec box open + make sure everythting is cool. Replace that gasket while you are in there.

That thing might run out of the box.

also thanks Ollie for moving the pics. I would prefer not to divulge the dollar amount as I had to have this ski after riding yamahahaha's a few weeks ago and seeing the HUGE difference between my stock 650 and his. I am ruined now, I need more power. so dump a ton of money on putting another motor and pipe and impeller on my 92 sj or sell it and my other 6 skis and go to town on one good freestyle ski?
