Thanks Marc. So the maiden voyage went pretty well. Other than my absent hood liner and water intake the day was great. The feel is tough to describe. The fixed steer made the ski so much more controlable, and that made me more confident. The steering stem seems to be in a good location, but I...

Ok, So i've got the hood pivot, now I just need a latch and some way to keep the water out. Hopefully it will get wet this weekend.

I'll try Steve, just for you. It's going to be ugly though.

Thanks Marc, I was trying to get it done for the mj cup, but the hood liner is going to hold me back. I'll still try to make it out on the x2 though.

just a little more progress on the aluminum support for under my hood.

Here's a couple quick pics of the underside of the hood. I have some of the pieces just tacked in place but you get the point. my next struggle is going to be the stupid hood liner, i'm not sure yet on how i'm going to go about that. any suggestions would be a huge help.

No, I'm tig welding an aluminum frame under the hood that is kinda like a pole style but it goes all the way down to the tray latch area. I'll take some pics tonight. This is my first go at this so it might not work perfectat first. Time will tell.

Hey twinturbostang I was hopein you might chime in. This is the accusteer stem I bought from you a couple weeks ago. I've seen all your fixed steer builds an I really wanted to try my own. The fx1 has the kawi 140 pump already swaped in so that problem is taken care of. Now just the fab work. I...

I'm starting to make my fixed steer fx1 hood right now. I grew riding bmx, then I had an x2. The x2 was fun but it was a turd. I tried out a few different pole skis 750 sxi pro, and then the fx1. The way the fx1 can be thrown around is just awesome. So i think that coupled up with a fixed steer...

It's comin along pretty good, almost running. I might not have it all painted up before I get it tuned up but I do plan on running at the drr. I can only make it out ont the Saturday. U gonna be there?

Looking good, wish I could finish my ski that quick. We still got some winter left though, what are you gonna do with all your time?

Made a little bit of progress this weekend. Almost finished my aluminum handle pole except for the finish grinding/polishing. I also started on filling the bondline in the tray (no pics yet), next will be the reinforcement of the sides and pump area in the tray. I weighed the hull without the...

How did your tubbies/ski wideners turn out?

For anyone doing the 650 pump mod, make sure the pump area is reinforced real good. ( I'm not trying to point fingers...steve)lol I don't think the pump area was leaking initially, but a little riding broke things up. Thanks for the comments guys, I've got a question for all u smart people, when...

I got a little more done tonight, still working on ripping the tray apart. I bought this ski with the 650 pump mod done, I found alot of leaks around the pump mounts. I'm kinda learning as I go, but i plan on reinforcing the pump area along with the inside of the gunwhales. Has anyone used...

A winter project that got a little out of hand, planned on just cleaning a few things up then i found myself cutting out the tray. I found a bunch of leaks in the pump area and in the tray. Right now it has a kawi 650 pump mod (awesome), I plan on building a solid surf boat that is still fun on...

Are you doing a full jetski lenth sponson? I'm thinking of making my own sponsons but copying tubbie2s.

nice carbon work, was it alot harder than regular fiberglass? I'll be doing some reinforcement under my handle pole mount and the whole inside of the hull. I love the carbon look. Where did you get the stuff?

Your a crazy man Droc, I defiently want to try that super shortened hull next year. You got some skills man, Good luck with everything.

Fx1's are the coolest factory skis ever. I just got this thing, defiently alot o fun. It's got a kawi pump stetup. I'm looking for a cheap aftermarket rideplate, I don't care if it's beat up i'm just going to make a mold of it. (and I'm cheap) also I'm looking for a aftermarket intake grate...
