Thanks for the great information once I start putting everything back together I will pay special attention to some of those problem areas for water leakage. I did end up cutting that block out up front and the foam inside was pretty wet, and it did look like a 2 part foam. As far as the nose...
Time to do some updates. The nose is glassed and defoamed and looks surprisingly like the front of the backie chan hull. I do not have the exact length yet but it is just a little over an inch longer than the chan so i ended up shaving off 3-4 inches off the ski. I also recieved my new atp...
I will have to post a pic so everyone knows what I am talking about, maybe I just got a wierd ski lol I know it is an older hull and one of the first ones he produced.
I am referring to is the mount in the front of the ski that was designed so you could mount the WDK waterbox too; "at least that is what I was told", it is about a 3x3 square that is about 3 inches tall with 4 screw holes in it. At least in my ski. As I was cutting the bottom deck I ended up...
Honestly I am amazed at how thick "everything" in that ski is. I actually just finished cutting the the bottom deck back to where I want the rocker curve to start, and removed the WDK water box mount as I won't need it. I was suprised at how wet the foam was inside the mount :/, makes me...
My decision was made easier by the fact the nose was pretty smashed up anyways, but if i had a carbon hull i probably wouldnt do this lol. I am just curious, how thick are the rails on your carbon? The ones on this hull are are probably close to 3/8" thick. Seems to be adding a lot of weight.
First off a little history since I am rather new to the forum. Started in stand-up jet ski's a little over a year ago and have decided to take the leap from my 95' SJ to spending all my extra money my own flat water ski. The hull I am working with is one most of you are pretty familiar with the...
Startes sanding last night, it already looks better. Gonna start searching the forum for materials i should use for the front. To keep it light as possible but still strong enough to withstand a novices backflip and nose stab attempts. Here are some updated pics.
Thanks for the advice, i used some 2 part foam this weekend and now have a mold i am going to start sculpting. I t was my first time using the foam so i ended up standing it on its nose and pouring it while covering the openings with duct tape. Also if anybody is thinking of using the foam a...
Hi guys, fairly new to the forum and getting ready to start my first new build but could use a little help. I am rockering the front end of an older wdk-rok hull and want to add rails around the entire new nose. I was wondering if there was a kit or mold for doing this or if people did it from...
