Working on my hull last night I discovered that my motor sits far enough back that there is hardly any room to mount my total loss system. The best alternative I could think of is using ufo mounts to place the bracket and TL system on side of the hull underneath the exhaust hose rather than...

oh and if you are still in the market for a square nose I have one that is complete minus motor and start stop switch I might be willing to sell you.

Be diligent in your research on the hull. I ran into lots of problems in going from my 94 SN to a WDK ROK hull. In fact I ended up pretty much building an entire ski from scratch with new parts because hardly anything from my SN worked correctly in the ROK hull. Now in saying that I also got...

Thanks been working on it since last October.

if you are asking about mine? It is a WDK ROK hull that I chopped up and rocker'd the nose on. http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/custom-rok-build.144540/

Fresh out of paint yesterday.

Here are the pics of my final paint on the ski. I wish i could post the pics of it built but i have to wait on a new drive shaft :/. Sucks not having it ready for memorial day.

new pics as of today, I will have it back from the painters tomorrow:)

I am putting some new ones up on my build tonight.

My neoprene gloves are pretty thick I think (3 or 4 mm) but I am sure they have a little bit thinner ones that would work nice. The helmet is actually made for mountain biking so it is not as heavy as the MX ones and is made to be very breathable. Here is the link for the one I ended up...

I always ride with my Giro carbon full face helmet, it is nice, light and drains well. They are a little pricey but I managed to find mine for around $160 dollars, but totally worth it feels like you have nothing on. Wet suits will keep you plenty warm in most colder water. I am 5'8 135 and...

I enjoyed looking at your build it looks nice. The white color in the engine bay is very cool and makes the ski look super clean. What size motor ace you running I couldn't tell, and what size pump did you decide on? My ROK should be finished up in paint this week, so I will have to be sure...

I agree with your synopses I have decided to skip on the pearl and candy paints and rather just stick to 2 stage paint, a burnt orange using a lighter base metallic to keep it from looking brown. Also if I was going to try and do it myself I was going to stick to a single coat but I am having...

Thanks I am hoping it rides well. It would suck to spend that much time on something that turns into a big pile of poo lol

lol good to know. I am sure the guy at the paint shop will manage to come up with something that I like, I am aiming to paint it like my motorcycle used to be before it got stolen it was a real nice candy orange paint job. You should post a pic of your ski I would like to see the color.

I am going to be going with a burnt orange metallic and blue and white turf.

I am going to try something different, I am painting the base a burnt/copper metallic (whole ski) then spraying a special type of paint called thermochromatic paint over the top. Also going to use blue and white Hydroturf. Should be interesting.

Lol well....... anybody need anchors some anchors :)

I actually found them here for 4.80 a piece and they do free shipping. http://yamahapartsmonster.com/oemparts/a/yam/5003a63df870021f60a1384b/fuel-tank
