Epoxy still pops off. Better to bolt it straight through, or buy/make a lanyard. Especially if your riding in the surf. Ski's get tossed and turned.

Glad you were able to get your hull registered. Try a trophy or engraving shop.

Yes, there are 2 holes in the bracket (in between the two breather holes) in which the RRP Spring tensioner attaches. The pole spring rests on this and then insets into one of the two RRP holes in the bottom on the RRP pole. Depending on how old the pole is, there maybe only one hole and...

You have to bend the spring.... Add 15 degrees more to a stock spring (more tension) Take 15 degrees out of a Blowsion spring (less tension)

Recent losses as in peoples homes, cars, clothes, personal belongings, memories, EVERYTHING. After hurricane Sandy as I also mentioned in the post, some people lost everything they had and nothing to show for it. I was not trying to detour people from donating, I was hope those with kind...

Ill step in and lend a helping hand. Also will donate some tow loops for your NEW SKI. Not to take away from your loss, but lets also remember there are a lot of other people who have lost more than just luxury items in hurricane Sandy. Im always willing to stick a hand out to a brother but...

Gotcha. For me, the extra couple pounds of the RRP pole doens't matter. Thats what a pole spring is for. I also think this holds true for the lightweight RRP pole. Yes, it is lighter but I think it's more or less for visual appeal.

You just want to make sure the driveshaft is centered in there. Im sure the video's say that. You may want to make sure your engine is shimmed properly too!

With the amount of reenforcing your going to do, using carbon vs glass really isn't going to produce much of a weight different. Your looking at some difference when you are building a complete hull out of one material for the other. I'd jut use glass than maybe a layer of carbon over the top...

This was just a facebook convo with an well know Aussie Rider when I was debating jumping into a footrocket vs jb1. He has both and is a profession rider competing in the world tour. "If you have a big Eng and ride surf and flat, foot rocket would be good cos you can change the tail plate, But...

Theres a picture I saw a couple weeks ago of a blaster that went through a sailboat. It was really good. Ill see if I can find it for you.

Looks great! Glad to see your still working on it!

Welcome to the forums and sorry it had to be for technical advice. Salt water really takes a toll on electrical connections. Sounds like this was a fresh water ski and within 30 minutes, the salt found the weak point. This is not uncommon. Your going to want to trace all your electrical...

Any epoxy resin will work fine. West System or U.S composites. Working with carbon fiber isn't too much different than fiberglass. It is much harder to cut and falls apart much easier. Another thing I've realized is it's slightly harder to tell when the carbon fiber is completely saturated...

Im probably going to pick up a bunch and get them to you guys at a discounted price. Its a delicate situation though. Part of the agreement between with GoPro would be that I need to sell them at MSRP.

I think you thought he said "water SPORT". He said "water SPOT".

Glad there was a good turn out. Your much more fortunate than some of our other forum members lately.

He had the long plate on there. I brings it to the same length as the JB1. Nice that it's versatile. Longer plate for surf, shorter for flat.

looks cold! props
