Love the build. Thanks for the inspiration. I have basically used your thread as a step by step on re-doing my SN. Your carbon work is legit, did you lay all that up by hand or were you vacuum bagging

So I'm back at it. Got the bond line done and sides reinforced. Vacuum bagging is the way to go I am really starting to have fun here.

So I got my exhaust pipe done and bond line reinforced. I used 1/2in honeycomb where footholds will be so that I can keep rear of tray as wide as possible without loosing the rigidity of the side. Also have motor just about complete.

Quick update. I got my handlepole back from the welder at work (I cut 2in out of my AC Racing RN pole) and got in my Cold Fusion hood hooks and prongs so I can finally start finalizing my nose cap. Got the mold for my hood pulled. Still have a lot of work to do before I can use it but it is...

I've been back for a week now. I have the hood ready for mold. But two failed attempts to spray release that had to be sanded off. I had to do something else to refocus so I didnt freak out. So I decided to get exhaust pipe started. I have some 2.25" solid round plastic stock waxed it and...

Was wanting to get my flywheel lightened and needed to know price where to send it and turn around time.. Thanx

I am getting ready to fab up mine and was wondering how thick others had made theirs. My thought was to be about .050". It will be a vacuum bagged layup two layers of 5.6oz one layer of 9.2oz and final layer will be 6oz tube wound carbon. Any opinion from people experienced with this would be...

I got my Thomas pump on Fleabay. Dude sells rebuilt ones for $100. We use them at work in our composites shop making heli parts. Pump equipment is from Aircraft Spruce. Composites and resins are from US Composites. Pump setup is relatively simple, it pulls a consistent 20inHg with no...

Back in town for a couple day so I spent some hrs on the ski. I have the hood done and ready for prep to use it as a plug and get my mold made. Got the nose cap design done and ready for prep. And by overwhelming arguments for, added fuel fill to the nose.

I had a question for the guys on here that know a lot more than me, which is most of you. I had decided not to touch the hull on my sled but how necessary is it to be able to barrel roll. It is something I would like to try this summer. I am 6' tall and around 200lbs. I do like to do the...

So company sent me out of town for a week and a half and I still have three more trips to do over the next month. I took my E-box with and got it finished up. Bad news is this will put me way behind good news is is that it will pay for my build. Home for a couple days so I am getting my hood...

So I cut up the hood tonight. I took off an inch of the channel and a 1in ito 1/2in pie cut on the lower section. Started fitting the pole. I cant believe the difference it made to lower it

So I used the OEM nose cover as basic mold and I got basic profile as to how the nose will look. I now need to start the hood design before I go any farther on the nose. If anybody has an opinion one way or the other; should I or should I not keep the external fuel fill.

Chris, Zack at PHP said to hit you up for a bombproof coil for my superjet. If you could pm me the pertinents to buy one from ya that would be awesome. Also I was thinking of lightening my flywheel

I have a new vacuum pump so I can bag all of the composite work. Plan is to completely remold hood, lower nosecap, widened tray w/footholds, carbon fiber lowered exhaust tube shortened pole with RN bracket. The ski handled awesome with the sponsons on it so I really dont feel the need to mess...

The guy that originally set it up just removed the hose and cut back the outlet. I made up a hose with a sheet of rubber that I could get between the intake and the hull because I didn't like water dumping right on top of it. Tornado flame arrestors eliminated prob and gave me access to...

First day of work and 40lbs of waterlogged foam later. Got my performance starter packages. I want to keep the original lines of a SN but a little lower.

If it can't be fixed with a hammer, it's an electrical problem.

This is my first stand up. Before this summer the last only time I had ridden one was '88. Owner before me did and awesome job at bringing this ski back to life. I was a boat mech for about ten years and then went into aircraft mech. Just became an inspector so all my tools went home...

I run on in my SJ and I love the sound. Deep, throaty, and everyone at the lake digs on the sound of my ski. I would totally recommend it.
