Yes sir!!! will get the second tubbie on tonight, and the bedplates finished. My plan is to hopefully get a motor in it by this time next week.. I think paint is going to wait till next winter... she may just end up rattle can white or black.. well see... I kind of want to make a trip to fl for...

WORD!!!! Heres the one tubbie i got on.. I started smoothing it out with just the excess that sqeezed out when I stuck it on. lil sanding and a skim coat with some 404 and she'll be as smooth as a babies butt!!! I am realy going to town on the bed plates cause I don't want them to look...

Got one tubbie all flushed in.ran out of 404 so i gotta go pick some up today and get the other one done tonight hopefully....

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

yeah I got a new gasket for the ebox and was gonna seal it with some honda bond too or something. I just don't really like the look of it on the gas tank. I had a idea for a sweet braket to put it on the tank in place of the oil can so it would clean things up a lil, if it comes down to it.

This is what I got planned. i still need to do a little more measuring but so far I think it will fit. I wanna use some superjet ebox mounts. they normally have two bolts going through the bulk head. I wanna epoxy them in and then glass over them placing the ebox in the same location the stock...

:Banane35: thanks for all the help man... She has really came along now that I got my arse in gear. I got one of the foamed tubbies sanded down and attached to the ski... get the other one on tomorrow and get some pics up....

Crab is a great seller! Fast shipment, great comunication, and always willing to help out if you got a question. If I figure I normally charge about 40 bucks an hour for side work on cars, he probably saved me hundreds in my time from my original idea of glassing them in. I got a lil idea for...

So I got the tubbies shaved and fitting. Just got done foaming them. as soon as it sets up I can sand them back to fitting flush and screw/ epoxy them suckers on! I have the ski up side down right now, its easier duing the tubbies. So while I am in that position I also layed 2 layers of glass on...

so that brings me to where I am at now basically. Alot more time sitting and bs with buddies then actually working! I need to get off here and go out and get my tubbies to fit, get those foamed and mounted, paint the bedplates, glass the back of my hull..... and the list goes on.. why am I such...

http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/51909/post-690759&posted=1#post690759 Thanks to everyone the past couple months I have bought stuff from... Everything is slowly making it out of the cabinets and onto the ski. Biggest thing that saved me alot of time and headaches was crabs 701 bedplates! Thanks...

so after the majority of the time I am able to slip away and work on the ski being consumed by fiber glass dust and resin fumes. It was time to take a break and get to something a lil more fun. I had originally intended to grind the inside of the hull flat and glass in new mounts for the 701...

ok so these are of the re enforcement I did. I ground the small ribs on the top deck flush and also ground the smaller sections off the bottom decks ribs leaving just the large bottom sections. might not make since but if you look at your stock hull you will know exactly what I mean. I mixed up...

So These are a couple pics of the nose. I can't find the ones I took after grinding off all the old resin, or should I say chipping off... it was poly resin I assume. The entire corner basically fell off. I used some west system epoxy rsin with some 404 and glued it back on. stuffing the gaps...

Alright so I been working on this since October. Off and on working on the skis and always buying and accumulating parts. This is my first ski build, I have built race cars basically my whole adult life. If you got some advice on something you see me doing, keep it real, let me know. I'll post...

or atleast wont be able to breath thru your nose the next day! LOL
