Between last night and tonight the ski isnow water ready. Finished up the hand pole pad and turf inside the footholds last night. Also got the bilge and primer tiddied up. Curious to see if the bilge pump is going to work it sounds a little weak compared to the one in my other ski. Got the...

Finished the hood strap, cleaned up the e box, ended up sand blasting the inside to get all of the corrosion out. Assembled that and put wire loom on some of the cables. Put the motor in, mocked up the pipe water box and gas tank. Got the motor aligned. I bought some equipment alignment shims...

Yup biggest thing is to take your time. I was hoping to have my turf done last week...Still not finished haha but it looks pretty good and ive only had to reglue 2 small spots. Big thing is to use heat. U can make turf go almost anywhere once its warm.

It looks kind of dull in the garage but once its in the sun I think it will brighten up and the metallic in the blue paint and green powder coat will really pop

Last night got the hood hooks on, strap in for the hood ratchet, little turf on the hood and started cleaning up the e box and getting those brackets put in the hull. Scoop grate installed also

Finally just read through this whole thread. Looks good and lots of work put into that ski! Since I have painted mine last week I already have atleast 3 scratches/ dings in it one decent one right on top of the hood and I dont even have my motor in yet haha. Oh well keep up the good it will be...

Also added some 5200 around some potential gaps in the firewall and around the cooling and steering hoses. Also glued in the bilge pump basket with 5200

Turf has 9mm underpad in the tray and top and sides of foot holds

Alright my phone kept dying in the garage this weekend so I finally got some progress pictures. As it sits turf isfinished except for under the foot holds, a small patch on the hood for the hood ratchet strap, and making a pole pad. Pump is installed and aligned. You will see one of the cooling...

Adds character lol

4 hours and one sheet of turf on... this might take all weekend

You may want to check your steering cable position on the turn plate too. I rode a newer sj last summer (wasn't mine) and the cable end was on one of the closer positions to the pivot bolt limiting how far the nozzle would turn. It made taking corners really awkward. Moving it out a position or...

Hand pole reassembled with resin and cabosil and riveted together. Bars, turn plate, and controls assembled and hand pole installed. Picture doesnt show it but all of the cables are on it now too. It kind of looks like an fx1 with the front pole bracket being so high

It Is a single stage acrylic urethane from restoration shop

Thinking about just putting the hull in a glass case and making a coffee table out of it...looks good!

Same paint in the sun. Orange ski is one of @Jakobi86. Thanks again to him for helping out with painting tonight and using all of his equipment!
