X3 I would not ride a 750 without tubbies. The 750 feels like riding a long floppy turd without them. Do yourself a favor and get the destroyers. They look even better when you get them painted to match your ski imo. The improvements in handling cannot be understated! :headbang:

So, I've taken it out a few times and had a chance to compare it with my dads stock 08 sj that I usually ride. In short, the tubbies are awesome. I couldn't imagine trying to ride this thing without them. The steering/handle pole is great, and vastly superior to the kawi setup as it centers...

Get a bilge pump and throw a bilge switch in there instead. :smokin:

Thanks. Will not be in NJ anytime soon tho. Yeah, I thought it turned out ok being this was my first experience turfing. Couple things that worked really well: 1) using wax paper to cover parts of the rails you don't want the turf to stick too as you lay it down. 2) heating up the knife with a...

Finally finished putting the motor back in and hooking everything back up. There are a million threads on here on how to turf, so I won’t go into too much detail. Basically, I just used 5 or 8 mm padding on the sides and 24ish mm padding on the tray. I had to sand down some of the padding in the...

Don't hate on Stevens man haha. There were a ton of boats making some nice rollers the other day, 80+ temps, it was perfect. The river is nice at high tide when you don't have to worry about running into stuff tho. Anyways, got the boat back and threw on the RRP pole. Yes, I know it's...

G/L with your ski Draggingto, hope something on here is of use to you. Nice to see someone from the Seattle area on here. Seems like everyone on here is from the Midwest …lol. I’m at Lake Stevens all the time with my family riding a Honda couch, 550sx, and blue RN (and hopefully soon a Kawasaki...

I paid $1,500 for my paint job. Kawasaki green on top with white gelcoat on the bottem. Also, that price included quite a bit of fiberglass repair work as my ski had several large cracks. Here's a pic:

Sorry guys, I've been busy the last couple months working on the ski and busy with work. But, I'll definitely continue to update this thread until I get the ski done...didn't realize there were people that were actually interested :-) . Got the footholds installed, new paint, rrp handle pole...

Use only "Epoxy Resin". You can get it here: http://uscomposites.com/epoxy.html . Make sure you mix the ratios as precise as possible. There are a ton of fiberglass how-tos on here as well.

Just get the stuff from blowsion. I installed their digger footwells a couple months ago using their install materials. It takes all the guesswork out of deciding which fiberglass, epoxy, and foam to get. I had never worked with fiberglass before and couldnt believe how well it turned out.

if your going to be spending most of your time in the surf sj>750 period. There are too many reasons to list why this is the case. Flat water it is a different story, pretty much comes down to personal preference and how serious you are about progressing in the sport. Ive spent time on both, and...

The reason I didn't use the hardware was because it requires you to glue these inserts into the hull. So, I called Blowsion and asked if it was really necessary, and if I could just use large washers and a nylon locking nut. They said that would work just fine. I guess well see what happens long...

Weather around here has been in 30-40's lately, so it looks like I wont be riding it anytime soon.:puppy_dog_eyes:. Since the thing is in pieces, and I plan on getting it re-painted, I figured it was a good time to install some footholds. I decided on the "dawson diggers" from Blowsion because...

I'm not going to lie, the first thing I noticed about the ski my first time out was just how crappy it handled compared to the SJ I normally ride. The ski felt extremely unstable in corners and tended to tip over when I shifted my weight even a tiny bit to much to one side. When comparing it to...

Hi everyone, I've been snooping around on here nearly everyday since last September and figured it was about time I contribute something... I've been riding standups for a few years (2010 SJ) but never really knew much about them (I still don't). So, I decided to buy a 1996 750sxi a few...
