I haven’t given up! Got the nose finished on the inside, used a couple layers of twill with some biax sandwiched in between, and the front bond rail area filled flush with microballoons/resin (mixed to peanut butter texture.) Came out nice and smooth When wetting out the biax, I find that you...

Got the hull drains in and started experimenting with how I want to setup adjustable holds. The angles are obviously not correct, just trying to decide if I want my feet totally encapsulated or a little bit more open if I want to move around in the tray some

Got the exhaust manifold glued to the hull. I used 3M 540 instead of 5200 so idk how that’ll effect things. On the couch message boards they seem to like it, and I don’t store the ski in the water so hopefully it won’t leak. I’ll be installing oem drains in the hull as well so I can drain the...

Bottom is finally done. Painted with appliance epoxy, definitely not perfect but I beach it anyways so it doesn’t have to be

How do you like the ESAB welder? I’m assuming it’s the 215 or 205?

Looks good! I like that setup

I found a nose piece, pm me on the rideplate

Well the bottom of the hull is pretty much done. It’s definitely not a work of art, but the first time I load it or beach it it’d ruin a perfect paint job anyways. I went with appliance epoxy in white and it laid down so-so. Stayed tacky for about a day then slowly hardened over the next day (60...

Yes looking for just the plastic

Nope still here, sorry I missed your post. I’m really looking for a stocker or something cheap because I’m going to chop it to be flush with my shortened hull. Sorry about the late response

I’ve also heard it meantioned, I think the reasoning is that when doing tailstands the exhaust bubbles up around the ride plate and gets sucked into the intake grate. This would also occur on a stock superjet, as the exhaust exits the rear, but it’s set far enough off center that it’s not...

Got my SBT midshaft in the mail, and now I’m reading mixed reviews on them. Hopefully it doesn’t strip out like some people have experienced. I’ll be sending the couch driveshaft out to get shortened, and I’m going to shoot for just about full engagement into the midshaft, may as well use all...

Also, does anyone have pics of their exhaust setup the runs the long hose under the carbs? I’m debating lowering my exhaust (hole in the firewall) a lot lower to both clear footholds as well as get the exhaust pipe under the carbs to make servicing/jet changes easier. If I run the pipe under the...

Well I bit the bullet, no turning back now! I’m hoping it’ll knock the noise down some. I’ve seen a few wb1 builds with triples still running a pump dump so I’m not too worried about restriction with the pump being fairly close. We shall see!

Painted

I ran the slots a little longer after reading about people not having enough up and down adjustment on them or being like a 1/2” off at max adjustment

After emailing, calling and sending a Facebook message to Hurricane Industries asking questions about their foothold kit with zero responses, I decided to just make my own kit and save the $400. I’ve heard they’re great people over there but sheesh, check your inbox and phones from time to time...

Cheapness kicked in again so instead of buying a rn pole bolt I picked up a Kawasaki Ninja ex500 swingarm bolt off eBay for $5 and a cheapo eBay m14x1.5 die for another $5. Threaded another inch or so on the bolt, cut off the excess and we’re in business! Every used bolt I found was all...

Nose piece and rideplate $ shipped to Michigan?
